The expectations of total joint replacement are constantly increasing: Freedom of pain and mobility used to be the primary goal, while nowadays it is longevity despite heavy loading and intense sporting activity. A preoperative sportive patient expects to be able to perform his favorite sporting activities like hiking, swimming and cycling, but also the more demanding skiing, tennis and jogging, for example, after surgery. The aim of this article is to illustrate what level of sporting activities can be performed by patients with total joint replacement. Are there differences between the pre- and postoperative levels? What are the risks for, and negative influences on, the prosthesis during intense sporting activity? What is the role of the physician? Finally, recommendations for sporting activities after total hip and knee replacement are given.

BMC Public Health
January 2025
School of Nursing, Tung Wah College, 16/F, Ma Kam Chan Memorial Building, 31 Wylie Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR, People's Republic of China.
Background/objective: Physical literacy (PL) is "the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life". Recent evidence has shown that PL was associated with mental wellbeing in different populations, yet a comprehensive review examining the association between PL and mental health among tertiary education students was lacking. The aims of this scoping review were to rapidly map relevant evidence on the relationships between perceived PL and mental health in higher education students and to determine the feasibility and value of conducting a full systematic review in this research area.
