Interest and participation in triathlon has grown rapidly over the past 20 yr and with this growth, there has been an increase in the number of new events. To maximize the safety of participation, triathlons require medical directors to plan and oversee medical care associated with event participation. Provision of proper medical care requires knowledge of staffing requirements, common triathlon medical conditions, impact of course design, communication skill, and a familiarity of administrative requirements. These guidelines serve as a tool for triathlon medical and race directors to improve race safety for athletes.

: This study evaluated the learning curve for robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA TKA) performed by three experienced surgeons, focusing on procedure duration, surgeon satisfaction, and confidence. A prospective study was conducted with three senior arthroplasty surgeons, each performing 15 RA TKA procedures using the Triathlon Knee System with the Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic (RIO) System. Data on preparation, cut-to-suture, and breakdown times were collected.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how 12 weeks of stopping and then restarting training affected a 53-year-old master triathlete's performance.
- After 12 weeks without training (detraining), the athlete showed significant declines in key fitness measures like oxygen consumption, peak power output, and muscle strength, alongside increased body fat.
- After retraining for another 12 weeks, most fitness metrics improved back to previous levels, but running economy and lean muscle mass did not fully recover.

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is an infrequent condition typically secondary to smoking, illicit drug use, or asthma. The condition often follows barotrauma or bronchial hyperactivity, causing alveolar destruction and air trapping within the mediastinum. Rarely, it may present following strenuous exercise, particularly in tall, thin males, resembling the presentation of pneumothorax.

Article Synopsis
- - The research focused on creating a specialized sports food (a milk-fruit bar) designed to enhance the medical and nutritional needs of athletes, particularly in martial arts and endurance sports like triathlons and pentathlon.
- - The bar was made from a blend of dry goat milk, whey, fruit, grains, plant and animal proteins, vitamins, and beneficial bacteria, aiming to improve athletes' performance and recovery.
- - After 21 days of consumption, athletes consuming the bar showed significant reductions in cholesterol levels (up to 18.9%) and lactate levels (up to 28.3%), indicating improved metabolic responses compared to a control group taking placebo bars.
