Trunk motion and muscular strength affect knee valgus moment during single-leg landing after overhead stroke in badminton
Conclusions
Larger lateral trunk bending associated with weak flexion strength increased knee valgus moment during single-leg landing. The core muscle training focused on trunk flexion strength may improve neuromuscular control of trunk and avoid excessive knee valgus moment in playing badminton, and this may play an important role of ACL injury prevention.

Shoulder injuries in highly trained competitive swimmers
Conclusions
Injury incidence was not influenced by sex or level of competition, but was 50% lower for breaststroke swimmers. Despite the symmetrical nature of swimming the right shoulder seems to be at greater risk of injury.

The implementation of a protocol for the prevention and management of exertional heat illness in sport
Background
The risk of heat-related illness in sport is significant. It can range from minor symptoms, through heat exhaustion to heat stroke, coma and possible death. Early recognition and cooling can reduce morbidity and mortality associated with exertional heat illness (EHI).
Objective
The aim of our study was to establish a protocol for the prevention, recognition and prompt management of EHI, in athletes, who are participating in potentially dangerous weather conditions/environments.
Design
We performed a prospective, cohort study of the incidence of EHI occurring during a multi-sport event.
Setting
Our study was p...

Acute left sided numbness and weakness in a weightlifter
Conclusion
Practitioners should be aware of the potential adverse nutritional consequences of supplement consumption. The extent to which this case was influenced by the history of concussions is unknown, but should not be dismissed.
