Team medical management for professional sports teams is a demanding and high-risk activity. Every different sport has unique features and the stresses athletes place on themselves, be it from collisions or repetitive stress, result in specific challenges for the medical team and team organization in general. Injuries in professional sports are costly both to the player and organization. The challenges of managing a professional baseball team exemplify these concerns and correlate well with other professional sports. Multiple strategies exist for improvement of medical care in baseball based on observed deficiencies in player evaluation, injury prevention, and injury treatment, which will require prospective evaluation to determine their success. These include draft strategies, individualized motion and strength analyses, customized in-season and off-season training programs for individuals, and standardized treatment protocols for injuries all based on best practices. Best practices are currently poorly defined in all of these areas.

Multidisciplinary care pathways for falls prevention in older adults: visualizing the needs of primary care-based health care professionals.

Purpose: Multidisciplinary care pathways for falls prevention, which include falls risk stratification, multifactorial falls risk assessment, and management of multidomain interventions, can reduce falls in older adults. However, efficient multidisciplinary falls prevention care is challenging due to issues such as poor communication and role allocation. This study aimed to identify and visualize the multidisciplinary care needs of primary care-based health care professionals (HCPs) for falls prevention in the Netherlands using the novel co-design approach of journey mapping.

Introduction: Upper limb (UL) impairment is common in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), and functional recovery of the UL is a key rehabilitation goal. Technology-based approaches, like virtual reality (VR), are increasingly promising. While most VR environments are task-oriented, our clinical approach integrates neuroproprioceptive 'facilitation and inhibition' (NFI) principles.

A convenient but efficient tool for evaluating dietary intakes in Chinese professional athletes has yet to be established. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of a short semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) through comparison with 3-day weighed food records (3DWFRs) and corresponding serum biomarkers from a cohort of 102 professional athletes, while also evaluating its reproducibility. The relative validity was assessed using Spearman correlation coefficients, cross-quintiles classification, weighted kappa, and Bland-Altman analysis, while reproducibility was evaluated using the Spearman correlation coefficients and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between two FFQs.
