Background: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), the gold-standard method to quantify cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), is not always feasible due to cost, access, and burden. The usual-paced 400m long-distance corridor walk (LDCW), a measure of mobility among older adults, may provide an alternate method to assess CRF among populations unable to complete maximal intensity testing. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an estimating equation to estimate VO peak from average 400m walking speed (WS) among participants in the Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA).

Methods: Injury and exposure data collected within the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program from 2014/2015 to 2018/2019 were analyzed. ACL tear frequencies, injury rates (IR), and injury proportions were used to describe injury incidence by sport, event type, injury mechanism, and injury history.
Purpose: Participant engagement in an online physical activity (PA) intervention is described and baseline factors related to engagement are identified.
Design: Longitudinal Study Within Randomized Controlled Trial.
Setting: Online/Internet.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the rates and causes of lateral ankle sprains in NCAA sports from the 2014-15 to 2018-19 seasons to assess the injury's impact and guide prevention strategies.
- A total of 3,910 sprains were reported, with the highest incidence in men's basketball, and competition events posing a significantly higher risk than practices.
- Nearly half of the sprains resulted in time loss, and the majority were caused by player contact, indicating potential areas for targeted prevention efforts.*
