Athletes are at risk for a variety of injuries not typically sustained in everyday life. The team physician must be capable of not only identifying and treating injuries as they occur, but he or she must be armed with the knowledge to minimize the risk of injuries before they occur. This review serves to provide an overview of the various sport-specific injuries typically encountered by team physicians. Injuries are grouped by body part and/or organ system, when possible. We do not aim to cover in detail the various treatments for these injuries; rather, we hope that this article provides a comprehensive overview of sport-specific injury, and demonstrate the well-roundedness in skills that must be possessed by team physicians.

Testing in Football: A Narrative Review.
Sports (Basel)
November 2024
School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool L3 3AF, UK.
Football clubs regularly test and monitor players, with different approaches reflecting player age and competitive level. This narrative review aims to summarise justifications for testing and commonly used testing protocols. We also aim to discuss the validity and reliability of specific tests used to assess football players and provide a holistic overview of protocols currently used in football or those demonstrating potential utility.

Article Synopsis
- Athletes face challenges with high training workloads and insufficient recovery, which can lead to fatigue, performance issues, and increased injury risk; motor imagery (MI) is a psychological technique that can help counteract these negative effects.
- MI has been shown to improve outcomes like reducing strength loss, enhancing training engagement in injured athletes, promoting recovery, and developing sport-specific skills throughout various athletic scenarios, including rehabilitation and return-to-sport protocols.
- To maximize the benefits of MI, practitioners should consider individual skill levels, the athlete's ability to create vivid mental images, and the perspective (internal vs. external) used during MI training.
Rock Climbing-Related Injuries: A Clinical and Imaging Overview.
Curr Sports Med Rep

Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, University of Utah Hospital, Salt Lake City, UT.
The rise in popularity of competitive and recreational rock climbing, particularly following its inclusion in the 2021 Summer Olympics, has led to a corresponding increase in rock climbing-related injuries. Due to the sport's unique biomechanical demands, it often presents injuries not commonly seen in other sports. Additionally, although some injuries align with those encountered in other sports, they manifest through distinctive climbing-related mechanisms unfamiliar to many clinicians.

School of Physical Education and Sport Science, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 17237 Athens, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- This scoping review analyzes physical fitness parameters in rhythmic gymnastics and their impact on performance across different age groups and competitive levels.
- A total of 41 studies involving 1915 participants found that attributes like flexibility, aerobic capacity, and muscle power are crucial for performance and are generally better in high-level gymnasts.
- Additionally, while older gymnasts tend to perform better in some fitness areas, targeted fitness training is essential for all levels to enhance physical abilities effectively, highlighting a need for more research in strength and power aspects.
Testing in Intermittent Sports-Importance for Training and Performance Optimization in Adult Athletes.
Med Sci Sports Exerc

Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sport Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, DENMARK.
Performance in intermittent sports relies on the interplay between multiple physiological systems determining the capacity to perform short explosive efforts as well as repeated intense actions with limited recovery over the course of an entire game. Testing should reflect these demands to allow for sport- and position-specific capacity analyses that eventually may translate into optimized training and improved performance. This may include individual load management and optimized training prescription, intensity targeting for specific positions or individual athletes, as well as benchmarking for monitoring of training progression and enhanced engagement of athletes.
