Prevalence and incidence of health problems and their characteristics in Brazilian para athletes: A one-season single-center prospective pilot study.

Background: Para athletes experience high prevalence and incidence of health problems related to sport. Despite this, there are few longitudinal studies.

Objective: To describe the characteristics, prevalence, incidence, and severity of health problems in para athletes from one of the Brazilian Paralympic Reference Centers during a sports season and to compare the prevalence of health problems between para athletics, para powerlifting, and para swimming.

Comparison of incidence, prevalence, severity and profile of health problems between male and female elite youth judokas: A 30-week prospective cohort study of 154 athletes.

Objectives: To describe and compare the incidence, prevalence, severity, and profile of injuries (acute and overuse) and illness between female and male youth elite judokas during 30 weeks of a sports season.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Methods: A total of 154 elite youth judokas (83 males and 71 females) were assessed from January to August 2019 in a training period organized by the Brazilian Judo Confederation.

Prevalence of overuse injuries in athletes from individual and team sports: A systematic review with meta-analysis and GRADE recommendations.

Background: Overuse injuries result from the cumulative process of repetitive microtrauma and overload on the musculoskeletal system, which causes tissue damage. Therefore, these injuries may have long-term negative consequences that decrease an athlete's performance.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of overuse injuries in individual and team sports.

Do older adults present altered pelvic and trunk movement pattern during gait? A systematic review with meta-analysis and GRADE recommendations.

Background: Cognitive, sensory, and biomechanical factors may affect gait of older adults. Among biomechanical factors, reduced pelvis and trunk range of motion (ROM) were associated with slower gait speed, shorter step length, and increased susceptibility to fall in older adults.

Objective: To systematically review the studies that compared trunk and pelvic movement during gait among adults and older adults.

Prevalence and incidence of injuries in para athletes: a systematic review with meta-analysis and GRADE recommendations.

Objective: To investigate prevalence, incidence and profile of musculoskeletal injuries in para athletes.

Design: Systematic review.

Data Sources: Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, AMED, SPORTSDiscus, CINAHL and hand searching.

Normative reference values for handgrip strength, shoulder and ankle range of motion and upper-limb and lower limb stability for 137 youth judokas of both sexes.

Objectives: To provide reference values for handgrip strength, shoulder and ankle range of motion (ROM) and upper-limb and lower limb stability for youth judokas of both sexes and investigate the effects of sex and side dominance.

Design: Cross-sectional.

Methods: A total of 137 youth judokas from under-18 (n=60) and under-21 (n=77) categories of both sexes were assessed.

Prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in former athletes: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Background: Prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in former athletes is still unclear.

Objective: To investigate prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in former athletes. Moreover, the secondary aim was to investigate whether poor methodological quality of included studies, different diagnosis criteria for knee osteoarthritis, different sports modality or sex impact on overall estimated prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in former athletes.
