Mashup Score: 52Depression, anxiety and stress among female student-athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis - 2 month(s) ago
Objective To identify, quantify and analyse determinants of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms among female student-athletes. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources Five online databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsychInfo, SportDiscus and Web of Science) searched from inception through 14 September 2023. Hand-searches and contacting authors for eligible studies. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Articles were included if they were published in English, included female student-athletes competing at National Collegiate Athletic Association institutions, and measured symptom-level depression, anxiety and/or stress. Results and summary We screened 2415 articles; 52 studies (N=13 849) were included in the systematic review with 13 studies qualifying for meta-analysis. Seventeen determinants were identified including injury (eg, concussions), health (eg, sleep hygiene) and social factors (eg, social support). As data specific to female student-athletes was delineated

Mashup Score: 70Physical fitness in male adolescents and atherosclerosis in middle age: a population-based cohort study - 2 month(s) ago
Objectives To examine the associations between physical fitness in male adolescents and coronary and carotid atherosclerosis in middle age. Methods This population-based cohort study linked physical fitness data from the Swedish Military Conscription Register during adolescence to atherosclerosis data from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study in middle age. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using a maximal cycle-ergometer test, and knee extension muscular strength was evaluated through an isometric dynamometer. Coronary atherosclerosis was evaluated via Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) stenosis and Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scores, while carotid plaques were evaluated by ultrasound. The associations were analysed using multinomial logistic regression, adjusted (marginal) prevalences and restricted cubic splines. Results The analysis included 8986 male adolescents (mean age 18.3 years) with a mean follow-up of 38.2 years. Physical fitness showed a reversed

Mashup Score: 148
Objective Recent research grounded in the experiences of elite female athletes has shed light on the complex challenges of navigating sport environments that do not support or value pregnant or postpartum athletes. The purpose of this study was to explore the unique experiences of coaches and healthcare providers working with pregnant and postpartum elite athletes, and to identify actionable steps for research, policy and culture change to support them. Methods Sixteen participants (five coaches, three physicians and eight physiotherapists), who have worked with pregnant and/or postpartum elite athletes within the last 5 years, participated in this qualitative study. Thirteen participants self-identified as women, and three as men. Data were generated via semistructured one-on-one interviews that were audiorecorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed through a process of content analysis. Results The findings of this research are represented by five main themes: (a) lack of female athle

Mashup Score: 73
Objectives The objective was to investigate the benefits of the ‘weekend warrior’ physical activity pattern in Latin America, where many people take part in high levels of non-exercise physical activity. Methods Participants in the Mexico City Prospective Study were surveyed from 1998 to 2004 and resurveyed from 2015 to 2019. Those who exercised up to once or twice per week were termed weekend warriors. Those who exercised more often were termed regularly active. Analyses were adjusted for potential confounders. Results The main analysis included 26 006 deaths in 154 882 adults (67% female) aged 52±13 years followed for 18±4 years (mean±SD). Compared with those who reported no exercise, the HR (95% CI) was 0.88 (0.83 to 0.93) in the weekend warriors and 0.88 (0.84 to 0.91) in the regularly active. Similar results were observed for cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality, but associations were weaker. Stratified analyses showed that substantial reductions in all-cause mortality risk

Mashup Score: 101Is isometric exercise training the best FIT for exercise prescription in the prevention and treatment of arterial hypertension? - 3 month(s) ago
For patients with hypertension, recent international guidelines and expert statements based on comprehensive reviews of the literature recommend exercise as a first-line non-pharmacological treatment.1–6 There is a general agreement in the guidelines that aerobic exercise training (AET) at moderate intensity be performed for >150 min per week, for 20–30 min on five or more days per week, complemented by low to moderate intensity dynamic resistance exercise training (DRT) 2–3 times per week.1–4 The current guidelines and expert statements acknowledge the merits of isometric resistance training (IRT), particularly for those with normal blood pressure (BP) and the prevention of hypertension. However, the literature on IRT is limited in size with conflicting findings for patients with hypertension requiring more evidence before definitive recommendations regarding IRT can be made as antihypertensive therapy.5 6 A recent network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) by Edward
