Introduction: The nature of trampoline injuries may have changed with the increasing popularity of recreational jump parks.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed evaluating domestic trampoline and commercial jump park injuries over a 2-year period.
Results: There were 439 trampoline injuries: 150 (34%) at jump parks versus 289 (66%) on home trampolines. Fractures and dislocations accounted for 55% of jump park injuries versus 44% of home trampoline injuries. In adults, fractures and dislocations accounted for 45% of jump park injuries versus 17% of home trampoline injuries. More lower extremity fractures were seen at jump parks versus home trampolines in both children and adults. Adults had a 23% surgical rate with jump park injuries versus a 10% surgical rate on home trampolines.
Discussion: Trampoline-related injury distribution included a higher percentage of fractures/dislocations, lower extremity fractures, fractures in adults, and surgical interventions associated with jump parks versus home trampolines.
Level Of Evidence: Level III.

Article Synopsis
- * This study employed a logistic regression machine learning model to assess skateboarding potential by analyzing performance metrics from various fitness tests, categorizing athletes into high and low potential groups.
- * The model demonstrated 90% accuracy, highlighting that factors like balance, strength, and endurance are key to skateboarding success, helping coaches make better decisions on athlete development.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed the effects of two different physical training programs on the fitness outcomes of Army Officer Candidate School soldiers over 12 weeks. One group followed an expert-designed program (TAP-C), while the other followed a traditional training approach by OCS soldiers.
- The performance was measured across multiple physical assessments, including the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) events, grip strength, standing broad jump, and other mobility tests, using statistical analysis to compare results while controlling for initial differences and gender.
- Results indicated significant differences between the two groups: the traditional training group excelled in endurance-focused ACFT events, while the expert-led TAP-C
Global maps of soil temperature.

Article Synopsis
- Research discusses how current global climate models are based on air temperatures but fail to capture the soil temperatures beneath vegetation where many species thrive.
- New global maps present soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at 1-km resolution for specific depths, revealing that mean annual soil temperatures can differ significantly from air temperatures by up to 10°C.
- The findings indicate that relying on air temperature could misrepresent climate impacts on ecosystems, especially in colder regions, highlighting the need for more precise soil temperature data for ecological studies.
A Measurement of 'Walking-the-Wall' Dynamics: An Observational Study Using Accelerometry and Sensors to Quantify Risk Associated with Vertical Wall Impact Attenuation in Trampoline Parks.

This study illustrates the application of a tri-axial accelerometer and gyroscope sensor device on a trampolinist performing the walking-the-wall manoeuvre on a high-performance trampoline to determine the performer dynamic conditions. This research found that rigid vertical walls would allow the trampolinist to obtain greater control and retain spatial awareness at greater levels than what is achievable on non-rigid vertical walls. With a non-rigid padded wall, the reaction force from the wall can be considered a variable force that is not constrained, and would not always provide the feedback that the trampolinist needs to maintain the balance with each climb up the wall and fall from height.
