Mental Health and Disordered Eating in Athletes

Andrea Kussman, Hyunwoo June Choo

Summary: DE/EDs can have severe impacts on athlete health and performance, so it is crucial for sports medicine providers to understand the diagnostic criteria and screen for DE/EDs. Team physicians play a vital role in multidisciplinary treatment teams, making complex decisions regarding sport participation clearance. Education programs can effectively reduce DE behaviors or thoughts. The sports medicine community should strive to prevent DE/EDs, reduce stigma around treatment, and promote healthy relationships with nutrition to support athlete well-being and goals.

Less stick more carrot? Increasing the uptake of deposit contract financial incentives for physical activity: A randomized controlled trial

David R. de Buisonje, Thomas Reijnders, Talia R. Cohen Rodrigues, Prabhakaran Santhanam, Tobias Kowatsch, Linda D. Breeman, Veronica R. Janssen, Roderik A. Kraaijenhagen, Hareld M. C. Kemps, Andrea W. M. Evers

Summary: This study investigated whether matching and customization of deposit amounts increased the uptake and short-term effectiveness of a deposit contract for physical activity. The results showed that both matching and customization increased the uptake of the deposit contract. However, customization might reduce the effectiveness of the intervention. More research is needed to understand the effectiveness of customizable deposit contracts and the participant characteristics predictive of uptake and effectiveness.

The roles of readiness and dosage in predicting outcomes of a mindful sport performance enhancement intervention with US college student-athletes

Thomas O. Minkler, Samuel J. Zizzi, D. Jake Follmer

Summary: Research suggests that Mindfulness-and Acceptance-Based Interventions (MABIs) can impact sport performance and performance-relevant factors, but questions remain regarding their effectiveness. This study investigated the effects of Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement (MSPE) interventions on collegiate athletes and found improvements in depressive symptoms, emotion regulation difficulties, self-rated sport performance, mindfulness, and sport enjoyment. The study also highlighted the importance of post-intervention readiness in long-term engagement in mindfulness practice and outcomes.

The effect of match congestion on hip adductor squeeze strength in youth rink hockey players

Marcos Quintana-Cepedal, Omar de la Calle, Irene Crespo, Maria Medina-Sanchez, Miguel del Valle, Hugo Olmedillas

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of a competitive congestion period on the squeeze strength of the hip adductor muscles in adolescent rink hockey players. The results showed a significant strength reduction in male players, but not in females. Although 85% of the sample had their strength reduced to values at risk, none of them stopped their activity due to discomfort in the groin region. The competitive congestion did not affect the HAGOS results.

Improving physical activity using a single personalized consequence-based approach-avoidance training: Effects on self-reported behaviors, attitudes, and choices

Silvio Maltagliati, Philippe Sarrazin, Dominique Muller, Layan Fessler, Thibaud Ferry, Reinout W. Wiers, Boris Cheval

Summary: This study examined the effects of a personalized consequence-based approach-avoidance training (ABC training) on physical activity (PA). The results showed that although the ABC training did not significantly improve PA, it had positive effects on choices and automatic attitudes, suggesting that this intervention still has potential. Further research with intensive training and device-based measures of PA is needed.

Wellbeing in high-performance swimming: A grounded theory study

Katie S. Uzzell, Camilla. J. Knight, Kurtis Pankow, Denise M. Hill

Summary: The demands of elite sport have the potential to negatively impact athletes' wellbeing. However, not all athletes are affected in the same way. This study used grounded theory methodology to examine the processes of change in high-performance swimmers' wellbeing. The findings illustrate how a dominant performance narrative influences the development and maintenance of an exclusive swimmer identity tied to performance. Transitions were identified as critical points where wellbeing is likely to be affected, but proactive coping strategies and appropriate support can help minimize the impact.

Changes in in vivo three dimensional shoulder kinematics following latissimus dorsi tendon transfer for irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears: A systematic review with meta-analysis

Vitor La Banca, Joao Artur Bonadiman, Felipe Fernandes Gonzalez, Jonathan Adam Gustafson, Gustavo Leporace, Grant E. Garrigues, Jorge Chahla, Leonardo Metsavaht

Summary: Background: Latissimus dorsi transfer is a surgical procedure that can be used for treating posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. However, there is still no consensus on the biomechanical changes resulting from latissimus dorsi transfer. Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature on 3D motion analysis studies evaluating the effects of latissimus dorsi transfer on shoulder kinematics. Findings: Our meta-analysis revealed a significant improvement in forward flexion and abduction following latissimus dorsi transfer. When comparing the latissimus transferred shoulder with an uninjured contralateral side, the meta-analysis found no significant difference in flexion range of motion, while abduction and external rotation were significantly higher in the uninjured shoulders.
