AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
In a healthy athlete, the caloric intake is sufficient for sports energy needs and body physiological functions, allowing a balance between energy availability, bone metabolism, and menstrual cycle. On the other hand, an imbalance caused by low energy availability due to a restrictive diet, eating disorders or long periods of energy expenditure leads to multisystemic deregulation favoring the essential functions of the body. This phenomenon, described as the female athlete triad, occurs in a considerable percentage of high-performance athletes, with harmful consequences for their future. The present review was carried out based on a critical analysis of the most recent publications available and aims to provide a global perception of the topic relative energy deficit in sport (RED-S). The objective is to promote the acquisition of more consolidated knowledge on an undervalued theme, enabling the acquisition of preventive strategies, early diagnosis and/or appropriate treatment.

Poor knee strength is associated with higher incidence of knee injury in adolescent female football players: The Karolinska football injury cohort.
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc
December 2024
Department of Health Promotion Science, Musculoskeletal & Sports Injury Epidemiology Center, Sophiahemmet University, Stockholm, Sweden.
Purpose: To investigate the association between common measures of trunk and lower extremity range of motion (ROM), strength, the results of one-leg jump tests at baseline and the incidence of subsequent substantial knee injuries in adolescent female football players.
Methods: Players were assessed at baseline regarding (1) ROM of trunk, hip, and ankle; (2) trunk, hip, and knee strength; and (3) one-leg jump tests. Players were prospectively monitored weekly for 1 year regarding knee injuries and the volume of matches and training.
Part II. Common questions and misconceptions about creatine supplementation: what does the scientific evidence really show?
J Int Soc Sports Nutr
December 2025
The Center for Applied Health Sciences, Canfield, OH, USA.
Creatine monohydrate supplementation (CrM) is a safe and effective intervention for improving certain aspects of sport, exercise performance, and health across the lifespan. Despite its evidence-based pedigree, several questions and misconceptions about CrM remain. To initially address some of these concerns, our group published a narrative review in 2021 discussing the scientific evidence as to whether CrM leads to water retention and fat accumulation, is a steroid, causes hair loss, dehydration or muscle cramping, adversely affects renal and liver function, and if CrM is safe and/or effective for children, adolescents, biological females, and older adults.

Front Psychol
December 2024
School of Physical Education and Health, Zhaoqing University, Zhaoqing, China.
Introduction: Sports gains reflect the sports development of college students, which is a direct reflection of the quality of school sports work, while the perception of sports environment, physical activity behavior, and self-efficacy in sports learning are closely related to their sports gains, which directly affects their effectiveness and interest in sports learning.
Objective: To investigate the effects of perceived sports environment on Chinese college students' sport gains, and to verify the mediating roles of physical activity behavior and self-efficacy in sport learning.
Methods: A survey of 2,207 Chinese university students was conducted using the sport environment perception scale, sport gain scale, physical activity behavior scale, and sport learning self-efficacy scale.
M-mode ultrasound evaluation of lateral abdominal muscle postural response to load: an exploratory study.
J Ultrason
December 2024
Motion Analysis Laboratory, Institute of Physiotherapy and Health Sciences, The Jerzy Kukuczka Academy of Physical Education, Katowice, Poland.
Aim: There is a need to evaluate the tissue deformation index of lateral abdominal muscles using M-mode ultrasound in a cohort of healthy subjects to establish a convenient reference point for clinical reasoning in patients. The aim of the study was to assess differences in the tissue deformation index between individual lateral abdominal muscles regardless of body side, compare these differences in the tissue deformation index on the right and left sides of the body, and evaluate side-to-side differences in the tissue deformation index within individual lateral abdominal muscles.
Material And Methods: In a group of 126 healthy volunteers (59 females), the postural response of lateral abdominal muscles to external perturbation in the form of rapid arm abduction with load was recorded on both sides of the body, and the tissue deformation index was calculated.
Factors That Determine the Outcomes of Surgical Versus Conservative Management in Achilles Tendon Ruptures: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Cureus

Trauma and Orthopaedics, Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, GBR.
Introduction: Achilles tendon rupture is the most commonly ruptured tendon in humans. Recent evidence suggests no significant differences in long-term functional outcomes between conservative and surgical management. Conservative treatment carries a higher risk of re-rupture, while surgical management presents risks such as wound infections and sural nerve damage.
