Introduction: Artistic swimming is a highly technical sport that requires a large volume of training and forced positions that generate a high risk of injury.

Objective: to compile scientific evidence on the incidence of injuries in artistic swimming. Literature study: PubMed, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus databases were used to search for studies that analysed the epidemiology of injuries in artistic swimmers of any age and gender until June 2024.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare running performance in soccer by analyzing two types of games: possession games (no specific roles) and positional games (specific roles) among 25 professional players.
  • Results showed that positional games resulted in less overall distance, peak speed, and player load compared to possession games, but positional games had higher values for acceleration and deceleration metrics.
  • Additionally, larger pitch sizes in positional games led to better performance metrics than smaller or medium sizes, indicating that the dimensions of the game significantly affect player load and training outcomes.

Objectives: The primary purposes were (a) to estimate the pooled effects of injury prevention programs (IPPs) on reducing overall and some specific body regions (lower extremity, thigh, knee, and ankle) injury incidence rates (IIRs) and (b) to compare the effects of single- and multi-component IPPs on mitigating injury risk in youth team sport athletes. A secondary objective was to explore the individual effects of different components on these IIRs.

Materials And Methods: Searches were performed up to 15 January 2024 in PubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library.

The objectives of this network meta-analysis were: (a) to estimate and compare the pooled effects of some injury prevention programs (IPPs) whose exercise-based components were categorized using a movement pattern-specific taxonomy on reducing overall and some specific body regions (lower extremity, thigh, knee, and ankle) injury incidences in youth team sport athletes and (b) to explore the individual effects of these components on the injury incidence rates (IIRs) previously mentioned. Searches were performed in PubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library. Eligible criteria were: exercise-based interventions comprised of exercises involving athletic motor skill competencies and evaluated against a control group, overall IIRs were reported, and youth (≤19 years old) team sport players.
