In a recent editorial, Thornton et al 1 argued that ‘Like folklore hero Robin Hood, we - sport and exercise medicine (SEM) scientists and practitioners - can draw on the opportunity and expertise gained by working with the elite few and apply it for the benefit of many ’ . We applaud this positive point of view. It was, however, supported by only one example—the successful ‘11 for health’ programme. That sport science-driven knowledge and innovation developed from elite sport translates or ‘scales down’ (ie, ‘Formula-1 circus to my garage’ paradigm) remains debatable. The goals may be similar for elite athletes and general or clinical populations, that is, optimising training impact and minimising negative effects (injuries, chronic fatigue/overtraining) but we argue that knowledge developed by sport scientists and practitioners working with elite athletes cannot be directly translated to population health without careful analysis and adaptation. Athletes are not immune from diseases or co-morbidities,2 so ‘elite athlete’ and ‘non-healthy population’ categories overlap. Moreover, treatment may be more challenging in elite athletes due to added stress from exercise or antidoping regulations.3 By presenting …

将精英体育研究转化为公共卫生的机遇和障碍

在最近的一篇社论中，桑顿等人 1 认为，“就像民间传说中的英雄罗宾汉一样，我们——运动和运动医学 (SEM) 科学家和从业者——可以利用与少数精英合作获得的机会和专业知识，并将其应用于利多'。我们赞赏这种积极的观点。然而，只有一个例子支持它——成功的“11 健康”计划。从精英体育发展而来的体育科学驱动的知识和创新转化或“缩小”（即“一级方程式马戏团到我的车库”范式）仍然值得商榷。精英运动员和一般或临床人群的目标可能相似，即优化训练影响和最小化负面影响（伤害、慢性疲劳/过度训练），但我们认为，如果没有仔细分析和适应，体育科学家和与精英运动员一起工作的从业者开发的知识不能直接转化为人口健康。运动员不能免于疾病或合并症2，因此“精英运动员”和“非健康人群”类别重叠。此外，由于运动或反兴奋剂法规带来的额外压力，精英运动员的治疗可能更具挑战性。3通过展示……
