Hamstring and knee injuries are associated with isometric hip and trunk muscle strength in elite Australian Rules and Rugby League players
Smaller lumbar multifidus (LM) and larger quadratus lumborum (QL) cross sectional area (CSA) potentially increase lower limb injury risk. Including functional measures (force generating capacity) with structural (muscle CSA) may improve risk models. Relationships between isometric trunk and hip strength and morphology were explored with hamstring and knee ligament injury risk in Australian Football League (AFL) and National Rugby League (NRL) players.

Estimating cancers attributable to physical inactivity in Australia
It was previously estimated that 1814 (1.6  % of incident cancers) were attributable to physical inactivity in Australia in 2010, when only three sites were considered. We estimated the burden of cancer due to physical inactivity in Australia for 13 sites. (Source: Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport)

Let's give more value to reviewing activities
Finding reviewers has become an increasingly difficult business for editors and associate editors although most academics seem to agree that peer review still represents the best possible way of scientific quality control. The JSAMS core editorial board (Deputy Editors and Editor-in-Chief) has already commented on this in the April/May issue.2 Our main conviction is that reviewing activities are not sufficiently valued in academia and that this is - at least in parts - explaining the above described problem.

Cross-sectional associations between 24-hour movement behaviors and cardiometabolic health among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A comparison according to weight status
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease associated with overweight and obesity. Evidence suggests that 24-hour movement behaviors (24  h-MBs) play a crucial role in cardiometabolic health. However, it is not yet known if 24 h-MBs differ between weight status groups among people with T2DM (PwT2DM) and how 24 h-MBs are associated with their cardiometabolic health.
