Association of in-competition injury risk and the degree of rapid weight cutting prior to competition in division I collegiate wrestlers.

Objectives: Weight cutting is thought to offer a competitive advantage in wrestling. Dehydration has deleterious effects on physical and cognitive function, which may increase the risk of injury. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether the degree of weight cutting was associated with injury risk.

How to help runners steer clear of injury.

Assess risk factors, then work to address modifiable ones, such as wearing the right running shoes and building up slowly. Don't let overweight or OA dampen enthusiasm.

A Prospective Study of Concussions and Health Outcomes in High School Football Players.

Context: Football is the most popular sport among US high school students and among the highest for sport-related concussion (SRC) incidence. Limited data detail how SRCs affect high school football players' psychosocial and health status beyond short-term injury recovery.

Objective: To longitudinally assess how SRCs affected symptoms, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in high school football players up to 12 months after SRC.

Longitudinal Assessment of Depressive Symptoms After Sport-Related Concussion in a Cohort of High School Athletes.

Background: The long-term effect of sport-related concussion on mood in adolescent athletes is largely unknown.

Hypothesis: Longitudinal measures of depression will worsen acutely after sport-related concussion and improve with concussion symptom resolution.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Epidemiology of Injuries Sustained in Boys' High School Contact and Collision Sports, 2008-2009 Through 2012-2013.

Background: Injury epidemiology for boys' high school contact and collision sport has been described in several overlapping but fragmented studies. Comprehensive comparisons of injuries sustained in boys' soccer, wrestling, football, ice hockey, and lacrosse are lacking.

Purpose: To describe patterns of injury by severity, body site, and diagnosis among high school boys' contact and collision sports in the United States.

The Effect of Sport-Related Concussion Injuries on Concussion Symptoms and Health-Related Quality of Life in Male and Female Adolescent Athletes: A Prospective Study.

Background: Sport-related concussions (SRCs) are associated with short-term disablement, characterized as increased concussion symptoms and lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, there are limited longitudinal data detailing how an SRC affects disablement beyond short-term injury recovery.

Purpose: To longitudinally assess the effect of SRCs on symptoms and HRQoL in high school athletes through the 12 months after injury.

Treatment strategies for the female athlete triad in the adolescent athlete: current perspectives.

Since the passage of Title IX in 1972, female sports participation has dramatically increased. The benefits of physical activity, including decreased risk for heart disease and diabetes as well as improved body image and self-esteem, far outweigh the risks. However, a select population of adolescent and young adult females may experience symptoms related to the female athlete triad (Triad), which refers to the interrelatedness of energy availability, menstrual function, and bone mineral density (BMD).
