An Examination of Depression, Anxiety, and Self-Esteem in Collegiate Student-Athletes.

Mental health research exists for student-athletes in the areas of depression, anxiety, and self-esteem prevalence. However, updated prevalence rates and assessment of risks across sports, academic status, and genders are needed. Filling the gaps in research assists in the creation of patient-centered mental health screening and interventions designed for student-athletes.

This retrospective cohort study examined the relationship between self-reported participation in flexibility and muscular strengthening activities and the development of functional limitation (i.e., once an individual has difficulty with or becomes unable to perform activities of daily living).

Core Body Temperatures in Collegiate Marching Band Artists During Rehearsals and Performances.

Context: To our knowledge, no researchers have investigated thermoregulatory responses and exertional heat illness (EHI) risk factors in marching band (MB) artists performing physical activity in high environmental temperatures.

Objective: To examine core temperature (Tc) and EHI risk factors in MB artists.

Design: Descriptive epidemiology study.
