Roadway mortality increased during COVID-19, reversing a multi-decade downward trend. The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) was used to examine contributing factors pre-COVID-19 and in the COVID-19 era using the five pillars of the Safe System framework: (1) road users; (2) vehicles; (3) roadways; (4) speed; and (5) post-crash care. Two study time periods were matched to control for seasonality differences pre-COVID-19 ( = 1725, 1 April 2018-31 December 2019) and in the COVID-19 era ( = 2010, 1 April 2020-31 December 2021) with a three-month buffer period between the two time frames excluded.

Background: Studies on rest durations during high-intensity interval training (HIIT) often compare fixed and self-selected (SS) rest allocation approaches. Frequently, the rest duration under SS conditions is unlimited, leading to inconsistent total rest durations compared to fixed rest conditions. To address this limitation, we recently compared fixed and SS rest conditions during cycling HIIT sessions, while keeping the total rest duration equivalent.

Article Synopsis
- Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a major public health issue, particularly affecting vulnerable users like pedestrians and cyclists, and recent studies showed heat exposure increases RTI risks among motorized users, but research on non-motorized users in tropical regions is lacking.
- This study analyzed the relationship between high temperatures and RTIs for various transportation modes (pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and car drivers) in Taiwan using data from 2018-2022 through a case-crossover analysis, accounting for weather and other factors.
- Findings indicate that non-motorized users are more susceptible to heat-induced RTIs compared to car drivers, due to lack of cooling systems and increased physical stress, highlighting the impact of climate change
Perceptions of safety during everyday travel shaping older adults' mobility in Bengaluru, India.

Background: In the context of socially sustainable urban development, comfortable, safe, and accessible public transport is crucial to motivating people to travel more sustainably. Using the framework given by Masoumi and Fastenmeier (2016) to examine the concepts of safety and security, we explore how perceptions of safety about different transport modes shaped the mobility of older adults in Bengaluru, India.
Methods: In-depth telephonic interviews were conducted with 60 adults, aged 50 years and over, residing in urban Bengaluru, using a semi-structured in-depth interview guide to explore the perceptions of safety in different transport modes.
What was the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on unintentional injuries, in Canada and globally? A scoping review investigating how lockdown measures impacted the global burden of unintentional injury.

Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 restrictions significantly altered injury patterns in Canada, increasing rates of unintentional injuries while decreasing those in public and workplace settings.
- A scoping review analyzed research from around the world, focusing on studies from Dec 2019 to July 2021, specifically excluding intentional injuries and previous pandemics.
- Findings highlighted that most injuries affected males, with common causes being motor vehicle collisions, falls, and home-related accidents, while occupational injuries dropped notably.
