Summary: The objective of this study was to review the risk factors for injury in young soccer players. After searching electronic databases, articles meeting the inclusion criteria were selected for review. Risk factor data were extracted and grouped into intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The main findings include the importance of neuromuscular control, the impact of maturation status, the contribution of fatigue and poor recovery to overuse injuries, the unclear role of anthropometric factors, the increased risk associated with previous injuries and high skill levels, the influence of external workloads, and the greater injury risk from playing position and sport specialization in young soccer players. Understanding the complex interaction between these factors is crucial for identifying high-risk players, developing effective prevention strategies, and taking a holistic approach.

Summary: Based on a five-year study, female players, those participating in lower levels of play, and players with a history of injury or concussion had higher rates of game-related concussion, while goalies and players in leagues that disallowed bodychecking had lower rates.

Summary: The analysis of epidemiological data and injury risk factors in young soccer players is crucial for promoting prevention strategies. This study conducted a systematic literature review on the epidemiological data and injury risk factors. The findings include higher injury incidence in older players and during matches, a higher risk of injury for males and more ligament sprains for females, and ankle and thigh injuries for young males and ankle and knee injuries for females. Coaches and trainers should consider individual differences and promote personalized training and prevention strategies.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the injury situation of ice hockey officials in the International Ice Hockey Federation. The study found that most officials experienced musculoskeletal injuries during their career, with the wrist and hand being the most common injury site. To reduce the risk of injury, there should be a stronger emphasis on improving protective equipment and implementing injury prevention programs.

Summary: According to the synthesized data, there is an association between arterial hypertension, obesity, and fatty liver disease in younger patients. The formation of diverticula seems to be influenced by age and genetic factors. The study suggests a connection with cardiometabolic risk factors. Targeted studies based on these findings are necessary to gain a better understanding of the role of metabolic risk factors in asymptomatic diverticulosis.

Summary: Radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, also known as ankylosing spondylitis (AS), is a chronic immune-mediated arthritis affecting the axial skeleton and peripheral joints. Apart from genetic factors, other factors such as intestinal inflammation may also play a role in the development of AS.

Summary: The study aimed to review the literature and synthesize evidence on shoulder pain and injury risk factors in competitive swimmers. The findings showed no strong evidence supporting or refuting the association between 80 assessed variables and shoulder injury or pain. Moderate evidence was found for factors related to the swimmers' competitive level and shoulder muscle recruitment profiles. Conversely, factors such as range of motion, training frequency, specialty stroke, and demographic characteristics had moderate evidence opposing an association. The highest quality study suggested that high acute-to-chronic workload ratio and reduced posterior shoulder strength endurance are associated with injury.

Summary: This systematic literature review examined the factors contributing to persistent pain following musculoskeletal injury in the general population, including athletes. The study found that factors such as high pain intensity, post-traumatic stress syndrome, presence of medical comorbidities, and fear of movement can influence the development of persistent pain. Identifying these factors may help clinicians and other healthcare providers prevent the occurrence of persistent pain after musculoskeletal injury.

Summary: In this study, we compared the patellofemoral geometry between individuals with a youth-sport-related knee injury and uninjured individuals, and investigated the association between patellofemoral geometry and MRI-defined osteoarthritis features. The study found that injured individuals were more likely to have extremely large sulcus angle, shallow lateral trochlear inclination, and trochlear depth compared to uninjured individuals. Additionally, patellofemoral geometry was associated with cartilage lesions and other structural features. These findings could help identify individuals at higher risk and inform targeted treatment for preventing posttraumatic osteoarthritis.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated injury and concussion rates, risk factors, and prevention strategies in youth rugby. The study found that male match injury rates were 40.2/1000 match hours, while female rates were 69.0/1000 match hours. Concussion rates were 6.2/1000 player-hours for males and 33.9/1000 player-hours for females. The most common injury sites and types varied by gender. Higher levels of play and increasing age were identified as strong risk factors. The most promising prevention strategy was neuromuscular training.

Summary: This review aims to identify and present available empirical evidence regarding the association between physical activity and joint degeneration after intra-articular knee injury. It also seeks to identify potential mechanistic pathways through which physical activity could influence the pathogenesis of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Additionally, it highlights gaps in current understanding of the association between physical activity and joint degeneration following joint injury.

Summary: The study examines the impact of participating in an adapted summer camp on family relationships for children and youth with disabilities. Through focus group discussions with 11 families, it was found that participation in adapted physical activities can lead to changes in perspectives, enhanced family bonds, and improved self-confidence and independence for children with disabilities. However, the suspension of programs due to COVID-19 resulted in frustration, worry, and strained family relationships.

Summary: This study examined the physical activity and body composition of ambulatory children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) compared to their typically developing peers. The results showed that individuals with CP had lower levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity and lower lean mass index. Further analysis revealed a positive association between lean mass index and physical activity, as well as reduced physical activity in individuals with CP at GMFCS II and III levels. These findings are important for promoting physical activity and improving muscle mass in individuals with CP.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of measurement errors in the projection matrix and FRFs on the uncertainty of power flow, using both numerical models and experimental data. The results show that closely spaced modes lead to high variability in the calculation of power flow near resonance, even for small measurement errors.
