Tackling the tackle 1: a descriptive analysis of 14,679 tackles and risk factors for high tackles in a community-level male amateur rugby union competition during a lowered tackle height law variation trial
In rugby union (rugby), the tackle is the most frequent cause of concussion and thus a target for intervention to reduce concussion incidence. The aim of this study is to describe tackle characteristics and factors associated with illegal high tackles in amateur community-level rugby during a lowered (arm-pit level) tackle height law variation trial.

An unusual case of marathon-related exercise associated collapse: Case report and some considerations for medical care at endurance mass participation events
This article presents a unique exercise-associated collapse case during a marathon, highlighting the significance of evidence-based management for athletes on field. The patient, a 61-year-old experienced runner, collapsed near the finish line of the Milano City Marathon. He was aided immediately with CPR and AED. After excluding, through validated algorithms, common and life-threatening causes of collapse, the patient was transferred to hospital. The patient underwent diagnostic procedures, including CT and MRI scans, and hormonal tests that revealed pituitary hemorrhage and underlying coronary artery disease. (Source: Jo...

Cardiorespiratory fitness (V ̇O2peak) across the adult lifespan in persons with multiple sclerosis and matched healthy controls
Cardiorespiratory fitness (measured as peak oxygen uptake; V ̇O2peak) is a well-established health predictor in the general population and in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). We aimed to investigate differences in V̇O2peak between age groups and the prevalence of V̇O2peak impairments across the adult lifespan in pwMS compared to age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC).

Rhythm in sport: adapted rhythmic training to optimize timing and enhance performance in athletes
Precise timing, the ability to control exactly when something should be done, integrates physical characteristics like strength, power, and technique into highly skilled sporting actions. Despite timing's indispensability to peak athletic performance, there exist few timing-specific training methods. The authors present a new training approach which adapts exercises from drummers, the elite timing experts, to athletes. This progressive series of rhythmic exercises cultivates a detailed, ‘top down’ cognitive framework of time which promises to enhance movement precision and efficiency.
