Running is a popular form of physical activity, yet it comes with risks, including running-related injuries (RRIs). This cohort study aimed to use self-reported baseline data on running experience, weekly running frequency, greatest running distance in 1 week, and running program to investigate if certain adult runners were more likely to sustain RRI than others. Runners, aged ≥ 18 years, familiar with the English language and using a Garmin watch to track their running were included.

This study aims to evaluate the presence of cam morphology, early radiological findings of OA and total hip arthroplasty (THA) in former Swedish elite ice hockey players. Male elite ice hockey players in the highest league in Sweden seeking orthopedic consultation for hip and groin pain with restricted hip joint range of motion and subsequent radiographs (Antero/posterior view, Lauenstein view and/or Hip frontal view) were included.

However, a critical gap exists in the knowledge of whether runners with both elevated BMI and a previous RRI constitute a particularly vulnerable subgroup in terms of susceptibility to new RRIs. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate if those with high BMI and a concomitant history of running-related problems in the past 3 months were more prone to sustain a new RRI compared with runners with normal BMI and without previous running-related problems.

Article Synopsis
- Competitive skiing among adolescents has become more popular but carries a high risk of injury, with a study showing 87% of skiers reported a total of 502 injuries over five years.
- The first year of high school skiing saw a higher injury incidence compared to later years, with no notable differences between genders or skiing disciplines, though females were more prone to gradual-onset injuries.
- Mogul skiers faced the highest rates of acute injuries, knee injuries were most common, and low back pain was the leading diagnosis, while concussions were notably frequent in ski-cross participants.
Article Synopsis
- * The Healthy Injury-Free Adolescent Athletes (HIFAA) study aims to evaluate sports injuries, their associations with physical load and mental health, and differences based on sex, age, and sports participation.
- * The study will track athletes aged 15-19 through questionnaires and weekly monitoring to gather data on injuries and health, both during high school and 5-10 years post-graduation, to identify risk factors and improve injury prevention.
