The impact of wheelchair Rugby classification line-up structure on possession outcome
Objectives. To investigate the impact that the structure and combination of athlete classification within line-ups has on possession outcome in Wheelchair Rugby (WR). Design. Retrospective. Methods. Analysis was conducted using data from all 18 WR matches from the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games. Pearson's chi-squared analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of line-up structures on performance and a nested generalised logistic mixed model (GLMM) was fitted to the data to investigate the association between independent variables and the outcome of possessions.

Advancing concussion research – follow the yellow brick road
For more than two decades scientific research has informed the management of sport-related concussion (SRC) and contributed to many recent changes in the diagnosis and treatment of SRC. The latest publications by the Concussion in Sport Group offer comprehensive tools that are very helpful for the daily use of everybody involved in the care of athletes suffering from SRC.7 (Source: Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport)

Importance of methodological quality in head injury research + highlighted paper no. 3
This issue ´s main editorial has been written by two of our distinguished Associate Editors who are both highly involved in the clinical care and research of head injuries, Claus Reinsberger and Andrew J. Gardner. Together with the virtual special issue which has already been produced for the SMA Conference 2 023, it illustrates how important JSAMS considers this topic. In many countries, among them Australia with a set of popular collision sports, there is currently a heated debate around proper management of head injuries by medical practitioners and sport organisations/associations.

Comparative efficacy of different exercise types on inflammatory markers in women with overweight and obesity: a systematic review and network Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
This study aimed to compare and rank the effectiveness of aerobic exercise (AE), resistance training (RT), combined aerobic and resistance exercise (CE), and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on inflammatory markers levels in women with overweight and obesity by using network meta-analysis (NMA).

Is all work the same? Performance after accumulated work of differing intensities in male professional cyclists
Although the ability to attenuate power output (PO) declines after accumulated work (i.e., ‘durability’) is increasingly recognized as a major determinant of cycling performance, the potential role of the intensity of the previous work is unclear. We assessed the effect of work-matched levels of accumulated work at different intensities on performance in male professional cyclists. (Source: Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport)

Advancing athlete development: How Percentile Comparison Methods (PCMs) can identify youth developmental profiles
Inter-individual developmental differences confound the capability to accurately evaluate youth athletic performance, highlighting the need for considerate methodology and analytical approaches. The present study demonstrated how Percentile Comparison Methods (PCMs) were developed, tested, and applied to identify athlete developmental profiles in Australian youth swimming.

Revealing the true nature of a parachute mitral valve during an ultra-trail race
Pre-participation screening and management of congenital cardiac valvulopathy in competitive athletes can be challenging, particularly within the context of ultra-endurance disciplines. A 55-year-old female athlete without a reported history of cardiac disease exhibited clinical signs of cardiogenic pulmonary edema during a 156  km ultra-trail race. The echocardiographic assessment revealed the presence of a parachute mitral valve, with no evidence of mitral stenosis or regurgitation at rest, but it demonstrated severe dynamic mitral stenosis during exercise.

Cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular fitness correlates in youth: a hierarchy of behavioral, contextual, and health-related outcomes
Despite the health importance of identifying correlates of physical fitness (PF) in youth, no investigation to date has explored the influence of behavioral, health-related, and contextual correlates simultaneously. We investigated the hierarchical relationship of multiple modifiable correlates favoring or diminishing cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscular fitness (MF) in youth.
