After the buzzer sounds: Adults unveil the consequences of concussions sustained during adolescence.

Concussions are commonly occurring injuries in sport. The short-term impacts of concussions, including symptoms and recovery trajectories, often are the focus of concussion research. However, limited studies have explored the long-term consequences of concussions, especially in adolescents.

Injury Prevalence Among Elite Adolescent Ballet Dancers is not Affected by Frequency of Questionnaire Administration: A 6-Month Exploratory Prospective Study.

Introduction: The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Questionnaire on Health Problems (OSTRC-H) is a valid and reliable registration method for self-reported injuries and is regularly used among dancer populations. Monthly questionnaire administration is acceptable in athlete populations but has not been evaluated in dancers. The aim of this exploratory study was to assess the influence of weekly versus monthly administration of the OSTRC-H on estimated injury outcomes among elite adolescent ballet dancers.

Differences in bone mineral density and associated factors in dancers and other female athletes.

Dancers are susceptible to relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S), specifically low bone mineral density (BMD). Little is known about how dancers' BMD compares to other athletic populations. The objective of this study was to examine the association between participant characteristics and total body areal BMD (aBMD) among female pre-professional dancers compared to other female athletes.

Differences in Situational Patterns During Change of Direction Movements Greater than 90° in Youth Male and Female Soccer Players.

Change of direction (COD) maneuvers in soccer create tactical advantages, but also expose the player to an increased risk of injury. COD ability is commonly tested with pre-planned drills including cuts greater than 90°. These tests do not take into consideration positional differences players encounter during games.

Relationships Between Common Preseason Screening Measures and Dance-Related Injuries in Preprofessional Ballet Dancers.

To examine modifiable and nonmodifiable factors for associations with dance-related injury among preprofessional ballet dancers over 5 academic years. Prospective cohort study. Full-time preprofessional ballet dancers (n = 452; 399 female; median age [range], 15 years [11-21]) participated across 5 academic years at a vocational school.
