- The purpose was to investigate pre-operative symptoms and types of sport in competitive athletes undergoing arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), and to compare between genders. Competitive athletes planned for arthroscopic treatment for FAIS were included prospectively in a hip arthroscopy registry. A total of 1548 athletes were identified and 919 were included. Sporting activity and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including HSAS, iHOT-12, and HAGOS, were recorded, pre-operatively. The study comprised 738 male and 181 female athletes (median age 25; interquartile range 20-32 years) who had undergone arthroscopic treatment for FAIS. The most common sports type performed by males were football (48%) and ice hockey (19%) and in females, football (25%) and horseback riding (22%). Females reported a significantly longer duration of symptoms (median 36 vs 24 months) and lower pre-operative scores for the iHOT-12 and all the HAGOS subscales, except for physical activity. In conclusion, horseback riding and football are almost equally common in female athletes, while football is by far the most common in male athletes, who underwent arthroscopic treatment for FAIS. Females had a longer duration of symptoms and a higher degree of self-reported symptoms and dysfunction prior to the hip arthroscopy.

- Objectives: Jumper's knee, or proximal patellar tendinopathy, is commonly seen among athletes in leg explosive sports, and for a subgroup surgical treatment is needed. The aim of this study was to identify what type of sports were most frequent among athletes treated surgically for Jumper's knee at an international tendon clinic during a consecutive 13-year period.Methods: The study included 344 consecutive patients (306 males, mean age 27 years, range 17-58; 38 females, mean age 24 years, range 18-44) from 21 different countries seeking help for therapy-resistant jumper's knee. There were 274 elite athletes, 168 being full-time professionals. All were diagnosed to have tendinopathy in the proximal patellar tendon and were operated on with ultrasound- and Doppler-guided arthroscopic shaving surgery.Results: The single most common sport was football (n = 95, 28%), followed by rugby (n = 37, 11%) and handball (n = 32, 9%), with 117 (34%) playing at a professional level. The rest of the athletes participated in 17 other different elite sports and nine recreational sports (running/jogging, padel, squash, biking, gym training, bowling, cheerleading, dancing, and ultimate frisbee).Conclusions: Football was the most common sport among patients requiring surgical treatment for jumper's knee, constituting 28% of all patients, and together with rugby and handball they constituted almost half of all patients. There was a wide sport distribution with 29 different team and individual sports represented.

- Abstract The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the current literature examining the acute effects of a single exercise workout on learning and memory functions in young adults.Methods The review was conducted in alignment with the PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if they were indexed in PubMed, published between 2009 and 2019, used an experimental study design and conducted on young human adults. The MeSH terms “exercise,” “learning,” and “young adults” were used together with the filters Publication dates—10 years; Human Species; and Article types—Clinical Trial.Results Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were evaluated. The types of exercise stimulus that were used was walking, running, or bicycling. Several different test instruments were used such as Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, Trail Making Test A and B, and Stroop Color Word Test. Exercise for two minutes to one hour at moderate to high intensity had a favorable effect on learning and memory functions in the selected studies.Conclusions This systematic review shows that aerobic, physical exercise before encoding improves learning and memory functions in young adults.

- The aim of this multicenter randomized controlled trial was to compare physiotherapist-led exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (PT-X) with physical activity on prescription (PAP) with regard to physical fitness, physical activity, health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), and metabolic risk markers in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation. Ninety six patients (28 women), age 74 (5) years, and ejection fraction >= 45% were randomized. An exercise tolerance test (primary outcome measure), muscle endurance tests, HR-QoL, physical activity assessments (questionnaire and accelerometer), and blood sampling were performed. The PT-X consisted of 60-minute group sessions and home-based exercise, both twice a week. The PAP consisted of 40 minutes of active walking, 4 times a week. Eighty seven patients completed the study. Exercise tolerance (maximum exercise capacity) improved significantly after PT-X (n = 40) but not after PAP (n = 47) (16 vs -3 W; P < .0001). Muscle endurance also improved after PT-X: shoulder flexion left arm (7 vs -1 repetition; P < .001), heel-lift right leg (4 vs 1 repetition; P < .05), left leg (4 vs -1 repetition; P < .001), and shoulder abduction (17 vs -4 s; P < .010). PAP significantly increased energy expenditure. Health-related quality of life and lab-tests did not differ. PT-X improved physical fitness in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation.

- The incidence of Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is increasing and at least 20% do not return to preinjury activity. The aim of the study was to evaluate biomechanical differences between those assigned to a Fear group and No-Fear group based on fear of reinjury during activity after ATR, by evaluating a drop countermovement jump. Twenty-five participants were evaluated 23.5 months after ATR. Peak values for eccentric and concentric joint power were identified for ankles, knees, and hips. Participants were assigned to Fear group or No-Fear group depending on their answers to a question regarding fear of reinjury during activities. Interlimb peak power was compared between groups for landing and push-off with a mixed model ANOVA. Compared to the No-fear group, the Fear group presented significant decreased power in the ankle (P < .001) but increased power in the knee (P < .001) in involved limb during both phases. A 3-way interaction was found between group, side, and phase for frontal plane hip power (P < .001). Our findings indicate that those who are afraid of reinjury demonstrate higher interlimb differences compared to those who are not. They also compensate for ankle deficits with greater knee and hip power.

- The incidence proportion and severity of overuse injuries (OIs) in elite athletics are still unclear due to methodological limitations of prior studies. The aim was to pro-spectively measure OI incidence proportion, severity, and anatomic location during a complete Swedish elite athletics season. Seventy-five male and female elite ath-letes between 18 and 32 years of age, competing in either middle- and long-distance running, sprint, jumping, or throwing events were recruited. A medical professional diagnosed injuries during a physical examination. All injuries were classified as gradual or sudden onset incident injuries due to overuse. An athlete was considered injury free after reporting full return to training in their training documentation. The OI incidence proportion was 72.4% (95% CI: 60.8%, 84%), with 71 recorded injuries. Most injuries were severe, with 38% of them being moderately serious (8-28 days) and 36.6% serious (>28 days-6 months). The most common injury location was the thigh/hip at 41% followed by the foot/shank at 39%. The incidence proportion and severity of OIs were higher when medical professionals evaluated each athlete who developed symptoms, compared to self-reporting athletes. Future research should evaluate possible risk factors for OIs to try to lower the OI incidence proportion.

- The aim was to investigate self-reported reasons for being leisure-time physically active (LTPA) at ages 34 and 52 and explore associations between LTPA at age 52 and physical activity, physical capacity, and health earlier in life. Cohort participants answered questions about physical activity and health and performed tests of physical capacity at ages 16, 34, and 52. The most frequently reported reasons for being LTPA or not at ages 34 and 52 were similar. Participants enjoyed being active and health benefits related to physical activity was important. Common barriers were other priorities, disability, and feeling too tired. A significantly higher percentage of those who were LTPA at the ages of 34 and 52 rated their general health to be good when compared to those who were not physically active. Analyses showed that higher muscle strength and endurance at the age of 34 could positively predict LTPA at 52. At ages 34 and 52, the cohort members presented with similar reasons for, and similar barriers to physical activity. Those who were LTPA rated their health better, and there was a significant association between physical capacity at the age of 34 and future physical activity.

- Horse riding is a popular, yet dangerous, sport, and as such, horse-related injuries contribute considerably to the total number of people hospitalized every year. While some investigations have explored this public health issue, many have focused only on hospital registrations or insurance information, while neglecting the cases where the rider may have not required hospitalization. This study investigated the pattern of equestrian injuries in Sweden and examined factors for predicting hospitalized injuries, using visits to hospital, local medical centers, and public dental services. Data were gathered over a 16-year period at all medical facilities within Skaraborg, Sweden, and retrospectively reviewed. There were 7815 horse-related injury events during the study period. The sample of horse-related injuries were largely represented by females (88%) and those aged between 10 and 20 years old. Injuries commonly took place during private/leisure time (90.8%) and in the afternoon. Logistic regression analysis found that older riders were significantly more likely to be admitted to hospital (OR = 1.013), while female riders were less likely to be admitted than males (OR = 0.739). The numbers of people registering at medical facilities due to horse-related injuries are increasing. Therefore, improved intervention measures must be further investigated.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A nationwide insurance database including all members of the Swedish Equestrian Federation and acute injuries reported to Folksam Insurance Group during 2017 was used to investigate horse-related injuries and calculate injury incidence nationally. Of the 152 069 insured members during 2017, 907 were injured, an average of 1.2 injuries per injured person. Females represented 96.9% of all those injured and had a higher risk of injury than males (RR = 3.18). The average age of injured equestrians was 30 years, and the highest injury incidence was for riders aged 21-40 years (RR = 8.83) and 41+- year-olds (RR = 7.33). The most common diagnoses included soft-tissue injuries (39%), fractures (36.7%), and concussions (17.3%). The most frequently injured body regions were the head and neck (36.4%) and the upper limbs (22.3%). Horse-related injuries occurred most frequently while riding a horse (86.2%), and the most frequent incident type was a fall (77.4%). The type of incident and activity was not independent from injury type. Injuries to equestrians represent a sizable public health concern. Injury prevention methods should be directed toward females, and protection against injury should be targeted for different incidents. Focus should be on preventing fall injuries, with appropriate matching of horse and rider and horsemanship skills.
