AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the link between pelvic movements during the standing knee lift (SKL) test and low back pain (LBP) in young floorball and basketball players.
- Conducted with 258 elite youth athletes, the researchers monitored LBP incidents over 12 months and analyzed the relationship with pelvic tilt and obliquity during the SKL test.
- Findings showed no significant association between pelvic kinematics and future LBP in these athletes, suggesting that these specific pelvic movements do not predict LBP risk.
Article Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between pelvic kinematics during the standing knee lift (SKL) test and low back pain (LBP) in youth floorball and basketball players.
Design: A prospective cohort study.
Setting: Finnish elite youth floorball and basketball players.
Participants: Finnish elite youth female and male floorball and basketball players (n = 258, mean age 15.7 ± 1.8).
Main Outcome Measures: LBP resulting in time loss from practice and games was recorded over a 12-month period and verified by a study physician. Associations between LBP and sagittal plane pelvic tilt and frontal plane pelvic obliquity during the SKL test as measured at baseline were investigated. Individual training and game hours were recorded, and Cox's proportional hazard models with mixed effects were used for the analysis.
Results: Cox analyses revealed that sagittal plane pelvic tilt and frontal plane pelvic obliquity were not associated with LBP in floorball and basketball players during the follow-up. The hazard ratios for pelvic tilt and pelvic obliquity ranged between 0.93 and 1.08 (95% CIs between 0.91 and 1.07 and 0.83 and 1.29), respectively.
Conclusions: Pelvic movement during the SKL test is not associated with future LBP in youth floorball and basketball players.

Nationwide incidence of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in higher-level athletes in Sweden: a cohort study from the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry linked to six sports organisations.
Br J Sports Med
November 2024
Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Stockholm Sports Trauma Research Center, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Objective: To determine and compare the incidence rate (IR) of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) among higher-level athletes across six sports in the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry (SNKLR).
Methods: Patient data from the SNKLR, between 2005 and 2020, was linked to team and event data of six sports (football, handball, basketball, ice hockey, floorball and alpine sports) to identify higher-level athletes aged 15-40 with ACL-R. Unadjusted and adjusted IR ratios (IRRs) with 99% CIs were calculated between sports, sex, age and divisions.
Supplement usage and doping attitudes in elite youth sports: The mediating role of dietary supplement acceptance.

This study investigated whether dietary supplement acceptance mediated the relationship between supplement use and doping attitudes in youth sports. To this end, we employed a two-wave half-longitudinal design during a sports season (time point one [T1] to time point two [T2]). The sample consisted of 217 elite youth athletes (47% male; mean age = 16.

Background: Adolescents present a high incidence of ACL injury compared with other age groups. Examining the risk factors that predispose adolescents to primary noncontact ACL injury is a key strategy to decrease the number of injuries in this population.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to summarise the existing literature investigating extrinsic risk factors that have been linked with primary noncontact ACL injury risk (identified either using ACL injury occurrence or using screening tests measuring biomechanical mechanisms for noncontact ACL injury) in adolescents including research investigating: (1) the association between extrinsic risk factors and primary noncontact ACL injury risk; and (2) whether primary noncontact ACL injury risk was different in populations or groups exposed to different extrinsic risk factors in adolescents.

Purpose: To investigate the influence of surgeon-related factors and clinic routines on autograft choice in primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Methods: Data from the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry (SNKLR), 2008-2019, were used to study autograft choice (hamstring; HT, patellar; PT, or quadriceps tendon; QT) in primary ACLR. Patient/injury characteristics (sex, age at surgery, activity at time of injury and associated injuries) and surgeon-/clinic-related factors (operating volume, caseload and graft type use) were analyzed.
The purpose of this descriptive cross-sectional study is to describe the amount and intensity of physical activity (PA) measured by accelerometry among adolescents participating in organized sports (SCP) and age-matched non-participating peers (NP). SCPs (332) and NPs (139) wore an accelerometer on the hip for seven days. PA was reported using the 1-min exponential moving average.
