The ‘netballer’s ankle’: An exploratory investigation into the negative sequelae associated with ankle sprains in netball
Introduction: It is well established that ankle sprains are highly prevalent in netball. It is estimated that four in five netballers have experienced at least one sprain, but the long-term consequences are often underappreciated. Three-quarters (72%) of netballers go on to sustain recurrent sprains and two-thirds (64%) reported perceived instability after a first-time ankle sprain. Comparably, this ranks netball with the highest prevalence of chronic ankle instability of any sport. Despite such concerning statistics, knowledge of ankle sprain sequelae in netballers is limited to small cohort studies and as such, questions...

Is there a difference in biceps femoris long head muscle and aponeurosis geometry between males with and without a history of hamstring strain injury?
Introduction: Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) most commonly affect the proximal musculotendinous junction of the biceps femoris long head (BFlh). Biomechanical modelling suggests narrow proximal BFlh aponeuroses and large muscle-to-aponeurosis width ratios may increase localised tissue strain and presumably risk of HSI. However, it is unclear if differences in geometry are shown between previously injured and healthy cohorts. Further, analyses of BFlh geometry have been limited to comparisons of discrete variables to describe the complex BFlh muscle-tendon unit. (Source: Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport)

CirqAll: a co-designed circus intervention to increase physical activity participation for preschool-aged children born preterm
Introduction: Preschool-aged children born very preterm participate in less physical activity (PA) than term-born children. For children born prematurely who experience increased risk in multiple health domains, engaging in adequate PA is essential. Circus activities show promise for improvements in physical and social-emotional outcomes (including PA participation) in paediatric populations with biopsychosocial challenges. However, there is minimal research pertaining to the use of circus with preterm populations. (Source: Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport)

A student-run exercise physiology clinic in Australia: who and what do we see?
Introduction: University health clinics are established to provide clinical placement opportunities for student health professionals and service local communities. Although students benefit from these clinics, analyses on client health outcomes following exercise interventions are scarce. Individuals living in areas of socioeconomic disadvantage are at higher risk of poorer health outcomes and may lack access to health services. The purpose of this study was to: 1) assess the reach of a student-run exercise physiology clinic servicing communities with low socioeconomic indices in Queensland, Australia; 2) identify the heal...

The mental health of elite-level coaches: A systematic scoping review
Introduction: Elite-level coaches are exposed to multiple performance, organisational and personal stressors which may contribute towards reduced mental health and wellbeing. Considering these demands, this systematic scoping review examined the current body of evidence to explore what is known about the mental health of elite-level coaches (i.e. wellbeing and mental ill-health), which risk and protective factors influence a coach ’s mental health, and how mental health may impact coaching effectiveness.

Identifying modifiable risk factors and screening strategies associated with anterior cruciate ligament injury risk in children aged 6 to 13 years: A systematic review
Introduction: Growing ACL injury incidence is reported for children aged 5-14-year-olds, yet research on injury risk reduction predominantly focuses on populations aged>13 years. For effective injury risk reduction, it is crucial to understand (i) which modifiable risk factors are associated with ACL injury in children (6-13 years) and (ii) how these risk factors are assessed.

The relationship between hip muscle strength and lateral hip muscle morphology in active young adults with hip/groin pain
Introduction: Hip/groin pain is a common issue among young active adults. Weakness in the lateral hip muscles, including the gluteal muscles and tensor fascia latae, is often seen in individuals with hip/groin pain, which can impact sporting performance and daily activities. Muscle morphology (size and fatty infiltrate) has been demonstrated as a contributing factor in force development of muscles (e.g., strength). The aim of this study is to investigate whether a relationship exists between lateral hip muscle size, fatty infiltrate, and hip muscle strength in active young adults with hip/groin pain.

Progressive Loading Test for Posterior Ankle Conditions: a novel clinical protocol
Introduction: Several clinical conditions can present as posterior ankle pain (e.g., Achilles tendinopathy, posterior impingement syndrome, superficial calcaneal bursitis). Due to the complex ankle anatomy, accurate diagnosis can be challenging but considered important for an effective treatment approach. Existing clinical tests may provoke multiple conditions. This protocol proposes a new pain provocation loading sequence aiming to distinguish between different ankle symptoms by testing increasing loads and asking about both, pain severity and pain location.

Exploring differences in physical and psychological factors between people with unilateral and bilateral patellofemoral pain?
Introduction: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most prevalent knee conditions, affecting one in four young adults. Despite the high prevalence and physical and psychological burden in sporting populations including running, cycling, and basketball, little is known about the impact of living with unilateral or bilateral PFP. Our aim is to compare self-reported knee pain, knee function, fear of movement, symptoms duration, physical activity level and limb dominance between people with unilateral and bilateral PFP.
