Republished research: Effects of circuit training as alternative to usual physiotherapy after stroke: randomised controlled trial
This article is an abridged version of a paper that was published on bmj.com. Cite this article as: BMJ 2012;344:e2672 Abstract Study question What is the effect of task oriented circuit training compared with usual physiotherapy in terms of self reported walking competency for patients with stroke discharged from a rehabilitation centre to their own home? Summary answer Task oriented circuit training started in the first six months is as effective as individually tailored physiotherapy for patients with moderate to mild stroke and allows patients to exercise more intensively with a lower ratio of staff to patients. What i...

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.

Gait instability and estimated core temperature predict exertional heat stroke
Conclusion The combination of two algorithms that estimate Tcr and ataxic gate appears promising for real-time alerting of impending EHS.

Internal carotid artery dissection and delayed stroke following rugby tackle - a case report
This report will offer a unique and interesting insight into the patient's perspective of this injury – both at the time the actual stroke occurred and his subsequent rehabilitation journey. It will also discuss that whilst much publicity and training is offered around the assessment and management of head injuries and/or concussion, the possible intracerebral consequence of neck trauma sustained in contact sports seems to be less well publicised. This mechanism of injury should be considered in the emergency department as in this case the ‘typical clinical presentation’ of an extradural haematoma turned ...

The incidence of exertional heat stroke during mass-participation triathlon races: optimising athlete safety
Conclusions EHS is a significant risk in mass-participation triathlon events. EHS can be successfully managed on-site with aggressive cooling measures which may reduce hospital transfers. The majority of EHS cases occur during or after the run phase and therefore we recommend event organisers focus both medical resources and prevention strategies at this phase.

Prehospital management of exertional heat stroke at sports competitions for Paralympic athletes
Conclusions Prehospital management of EHS in the Paralympic setting employs the same procedures as for Olympic athletes with some important alterations.

Infographic. Prehospital management of exertional heat stroke at sports competitions for Paralympic athletes
This infographic presents a summary of the prehospital management of exertional heat stroke (EHS) at sports competitions for Para athletes.1 Our original article was designed to provide Para athlete-specific modifications to the original EHS algorithm that was developed and implemented at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.2 Both the Olympic and Paralympic algorithms were successfully rolled out during educational workshops leading into the games, and implemented with support of the organising committee medical volunteers in Tokyo. It is the authors’ intention that these algorithms can be used at other events where Para at...

Sleep and physical activity in relation to all-cause, cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality risk
Conclusion The detrimental associations of poor sleep with all-cause and cause-specific mortality risks are exacerbated by low PA, suggesting likely synergistic effects. Our study supports the need to target both behaviours in research and clinical practice.

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.

Comparative effectiveness of exercise and drug interventions on mortality outcomes: metaepidemiological study
Conclusions Although limited in quantity, existing randomised trial evidence on exercise interventions suggests that exercise and many drug interventions are often potentially similar in terms of their mortality benefits in the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, rehabilitation after stroke, treatment of heart failure, and prevention of diabetes.

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...

The validity of session ratings of perceived exertion for monitoring training intensity during indoor rowing: a case report from an elite athlete in preparation for the world championships
Session ratings of perceived exertion (sRPE) are a popular tool for monitoring exercise intensity across a range of sports. Despite this, little is known regarding the application of sRPE to rowing ergometry. We therefore aimed to explore the validity of sRPE for monitoring training intensity during indoor rowing training. A thirty-six-year-old, female, indoor rower was monitored over a sixteen-week training period; prior to the British and World Indoor Rowing Championships (2nd place, 30–39 year heavyweight). Rowing training could be classified as: Maximum Effort Free Stroke Rate (MaxFree; n=37), Maximum Effort...
