This study examined the association between riding speed and elimination in Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) endurance events. A total of 35,061 horse starts from 1st July 2012 to 31st December 2015 were included in a multivariable logistic regression model containing 25 different risk factors. Riding speeds in individual stages ('loops') were included as individual risk factors in studying the progress of horses through loops 1-3 of each endurance ride. The possibility of real-time, 'mid-ride' predictive modelling was explored by modelling both riding speeds and sudden changes in speed between loops as potential risk factors. Faster riding speeds, especially during loops 1 and 2, were associated with deleterious outcomes. Furthermore, sudden drops in riding speed during loop 3 were associated with an increased likelihood of elimination.

Inappropriate, excessive, or overly strenuous training of sport horses can result in long-term injury, including the premature cessation of a horse's sporting career. As a countermeasure, this study demonstrates the easy implementation of a biomechanical load monitoring system consisting of five commercial, multi-purpose inertial sensor units non-invasively attached to the horse's distal limbs and trunk. From the data obtained, specific parameters for evaluating gait and limb loads are derived, providing the basis for objective exercise load management and successful injury prevention.

The popularity of eco-friendly electric scooters has led to a rise in significant injuries, especially in adolescents. Teens riding e-scooters are more prone to severe traffic accidents and head injuries compared to those using traditional scooters. Risk-taking behaviors, susceptibility to peer influence, limited road safety experience and a lack of protective headgear exacerbate the risks.

Background: The aim of our study is to analyze the orthopedic injuries and the use of protective equipment among commercial motorcycle couriers during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in a level 1 trauma center in Istanbul, to provide epidemiological data, and to serve as a baseline for future studies.
Methods: Commercial motorcycle couriers involved in traffic accidents while working, and who were brought to the emergency department between April 2020 and April 2022, were included in our study. The protective equipment worn at the time of the accidents, including helmets, jackets, pants, gloves, and boots, were recorded.

Background: American Indians have the highest mortality and hospitalizations from head injury of all US groups; however, little is known about prevalence, risk, or outcomes in this population.
Methods: The Strong Heart Study recruited American Indians representing 11 tribes and communities across three regions for two sequential examinations in 2010-2019. Participants were asked to self-report prior head injury, loss of consciousness (LOC), cause, sociodemographics, and behaviors (age, sex, education, bilingual, smoking, alcohol use, stroke).
