Approach (IF 3.3) Pub Date : 2023-08-26 Dhruv S Shankar,Brittany DeClouette,Kinjal D Vasavada,Amanda Avila,Eric J Strauss,Michael J Alaia,Guillem Gonzalez-Lomas
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare opioid analgesic use and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) between patients with and without cannabis use disorder (CUD). HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that patients with CUD would have greater postoperative opioid usage with comparable improvement in PROs. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective matched-cohort

Are Physical Activity Interventions Effective in Improving Health-Related Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Sports Health Multidiscip. Approach (IF 3.3) Pub Date : 2023-08-22 Alberto Bermejo-Cantarero,Mairena Sánchez-López,Celia Álvarez-Bueno,Andres Redondo-Tébar,Antonio García-Hermoso,Vicente Martínez-Vizcaino
CONTEXT Physical activity (PA) interventions improve well-being and positive mental health in children and adolescents, but the results of previous systematic reviews included participants with chronic medical conditions and did not accurately assess the multidimensional nature of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). OBJECTIVE The aims of this meta-analysis were to (1) evaluate the effects of PA

Comparative Efficacy of Robotic and Manual Massage Interventions on Performance and Well-Being: A Randomized Crossover Trial. Sports Health Multidiscip. Approach (IF 3.3) Pub Date : 2023-08-11 Yann Kerautret,Franck Di Rienzo,Carole Eyssautier,Aymeric Guillot
BACKGROUND Manual massage (MM) interventions can improve psychophysiological states of relaxation and well-being. In this context, robotic massage (RM) represents a promising, but currently understudied, solution. HYPOTHESIS Both MM and RM would improve flexibility of the hamstrings and lumbopelvic muscles and promote a psychophysiological state of relaxation through decreased sympathetic activity

Acute Effects of Ice Hockey on Hip Range of Motion, Strength, and Pelvic Tilt in Competitive Male Players. Sports Health Multidiscip. Approach (IF 3.3) Pub Date : 2023-08-11 William H Suits,Margaret M O'Neil,Kieran J Fogarty
BACKGROUND Ice hockey players are at high risk for hip and groin injury. Several risk factors have been identified or proposed, including lower hip rotation range of motion (ROM), lower hip adductor strength, lower ratio of hip adductor to abductor strength, and lower pelvic tilt angle. It is not known how these risk factors change acutely with ice hockey participation. HYPOTHESIS Acute exposure to

Does Running Increase the Risk of Hip and Knee Arthritis? A Survey of 3804 Marathon Runners. Sports Health Multidiscip. Approach (IF 3.3) Pub Date : 2023-08-09 Matthew J Hartwell,Joseph E Tanenbaum,George Chiampas,Michael A Terry,Vehniah K Tjong
BACKGROUND Long-distance running is a popular form of cardiovascular exercise with many well-described health benefits, from improving heart health to the management of obesity, diabetes, and mental illness. The impact of long-distance running on joint health in recreational runners, however, remains inconclusive. HYPOTHESIS The prevalence of osteoarthritis in runners is not associated with an athlete's

Can Symmetry of Single-Leg Vertical Jump Height Represent Normal Lower Limb Biomechanics of Athletes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction? Sports Health Multidiscip. Approach (IF 3.3) Pub Date : 2023-08-09 Peng Chen,Ling Wang,Shiyu Dong,Yue Ding,Shaohui Jia,Cheng Zheng
BACKGROUND After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), single-leg horizontal hop distance limb symmetry index (LSI) >90% is recommended as a cutoff point for safe return to sport (RTS). However, athletes after ACLR have abnormal lower limb biomechanics despite an adequate single-leg hop distance LSI, implying that athletes are at high risk of reinjury. Symmetry of single-leg vertical jump
