Summary: This review examines the impact of polyphenol consumption on muscle recovery in team sport athletes. It suggests that polyphenols may have a positive effect on recovery after exercise-induced muscle damage, but the certainty of these effects in both females and males remains moderate to very low. Further research, particularly in females, is needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the impact of hot-humid environmental conditions on performance outcomes, thermoregulatory responses, and thermal perception during exercise between elite para- and able-bodied athletes. The results showed that both groups experienced similar performance losses in hot-humid conditions, but para-athletes had lower increases in gastrointestinal temperature. Individual variation within both groups suggests the importance of personalized heat mitigation plans.

Summary: This study aimed to examine if postconcussion dizziness, symptom severity, or postural stability can predict the level of physical activity in the two weeks following initial evaluation. The results showed that self-reported dizziness was negatively correlated with daily step count. Therefore, treating postconcussion dizziness promptly may help improve recovery trajectories.

Summary: This study found significant differences by sex in the General Recovery and Sport Stress dimensions of the RESTQ-Sport, as well as in the Vigor factor of the POMS. Additionally, differences were observed by sport type, with individual sport athletes showing less recovery and higher stress. The Mexican adaptation of the RESTQ-Sport provides a suitable psychometric instrument for assessing recovery-stress balance in Mexican athletes.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis summarized the effects of ergogenic aids used by female athletes on sports performance. The results showed that caffeine improved jumping performance, isometric strength, and the number of repetitions till failure. Caffeine and sodium phosphate improved sprint performance. Taurine, caffeine, and beta-alanine improved aerobic tests. More studies are needed to examine the effects of different ergogenic aids on female athletes' performance.

Summary: This systematic review examined the acute and chronic ergogenic effects of dietary nitrate intake from beetroot on combat sports performance. The findings suggest that beetroot intake may improve oxidative metabolism and muscle force production in combat sports athletes, but these effects depend on various factors.

Summary: The digit ratio is related to prenatal testosterone and sports performance. This study examined the digit ratio in mixed martial arts athletes and found that athletes had lower digit ratios compared to non-athletes. Additionally, athletes showed differences in psychometric variables. However, there was no association between psychometric variables or wins with the digit ratio.

Summary: Studies show that the effects of new anti-doping measures on elite athletes' performance are limited. However, the implementation of these measures can lead to a decrease in performance in sports where banned substances are widely used. A study found that the performance of athletes from Country A, which was accused of systematic doping, decreased in 8 out of 10 disciplines after the implementation of new anti-doping methods. In contrast, the performance of athletes from Country B, their competitors, did not significantly change.

Summary: This study reveals that frequent consumption of sports and energy drinks among elite athletes from Pakistan has a detrimental impact on oral health, leading to a high prevalence of dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, and erosive tooth wear. Oral problems also negatively affect the athletes' daily activities and sports performance.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between the accuracy of duration judgment and performance in curling athletes. The results show that curlers have higher accuracy in distance judgment compared to non-curlers. Neural activation analysis indicates differences in cognitive strategies between curlers and non-athletes during duration judgment. Specifically, curlers utilize fewer attention resources in stimulus presentation and decision-making, while relying more on memory resources for higher accuracy. This study provides new insights into the factors influencing curling athletes' performance and can serve as a reference for future training practices in curling research.

Summary: The study explores the relationship between sports experience and emotional intelligence (EI) dimensions in undergraduate athletes, finding that the number of sports practiced and years of practice are related to emotional repair (ER) and emotional attention (EA). Male athletes who train more and at a higher competitive level are more likely to exhibit higher levels of ER.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the performance of elite basketball players in terms of speed, agility, and explosive strength after an 8-week plyometric training program. Fifteen elite male college basketball players in Taiwan participated in the study. The results showed that the plyometric training program significantly reduced body mass index and body fat percentage, increased skeletal muscle mass, and improved speed and agility. The participants also exhibited increased rate of force development and shorter jumping time, indicating enhanced explosive strength.

Summary: This review identified 19 studies comparing outcomes and complications of various surgical techniques for primary repair of DTTRs. Patients undergoing DTTR repair showed improvements postoperatively in pain, strength, and range of motion, but there were reported risks of rerupture and complications. Further research with large prospective cohorts and long-term follow-up is needed to determine more accurate complication rates and outcome scores.

Summary: Snapping scapula syndrome (SSS) is often misdiagnosed and underreported due to lack of awareness. Common symptoms include medial scapular border tenderness, crepitus, and audible snapping. Nonoperative treatment is as effective as surgical management in pain relief, with high patient satisfaction reported post-surgery.

Summary: Our review found that TSA using hybrid glenoid components results in low rates of complication and revision at early follow-up, and it has positive effects on shoulder function improvement. However, long-term studies are needed to further understand the role of hybrid glenoid components in TSA.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine the return-to-sport rate after arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage (ABR), including the overall rate of return to sport, rate of return to preinjury level, and rates for specific subgroups. The results showed that the overall rate of return to any level of sport ranged from 60% to 100%, while the rate of return to preinjury level ranged from 63% to 100%. The return to sport rates for contact or collision athletes ranged from 80% to 100%, whereas for overhead or throwing athletes it was 46% to 79%. The rate of recurrence of instability after surgery ranged from 0% to 20%.

Summary: The purpose of this systematic review is to assess the impact of shoulder surgeon volume on hospital/surgeon efficiency, adverse events, and hospital costs. The results show that higher surgeon volume is associated with better outcomes in terms of surgical time, length of stay, costs, reoperation/readmission rates, and complications. This information can be used by hospitals and physicians to improve the quality and efficiency of care for patients.

Summary: This systematic review suggests that surgical treatment of chronic calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff leads to greater improvements in functional outcomes and comparable pain reduction compared to nonoperative interventions, particularly ultrasonography-guided needling. Both operative and nonoperative modalities show clinically significant improvements in function and pain, making ultrasonography-guided needling and extracorporeal shockwave therapy reasonable first-line treatments. Cost-effectiveness analyses are needed to determine the preferred treatment. High-quality randomized controlled trials comparing nonoperative interventions to operative interventions before conservative treatment failure are necessary to establish evidence-based guidelines.
