Results from the 30 studies (17 reporting ACL injuries and 16 reporting ankle sprains) included in the meta-analysis showed females had a threefold higher incidence rate of ACL injuries than males, and both ankle sprain and ACL injury incidence rates increased as playing level increased and were higher during games than training. The reported incidence rates according to sex, playing level, and setting could be used to inform preventative strategies aimed at mitigating injury risk among basketball players. Furthermore, given the inconsistencies and deficiencies in reporting across studies, important recommendations for future injury research in basketball are provided.

We measured HRV at rest and in a fatigued state using impulse-radio ultra wideband (IR-UWB) radar in a noncontact fashion and compared the measurements with those obtained using electrocardiography (ECG) to assess the reliability and validity of the radar measurements. HRV was measured in 15 subjects using radar and ECG simultaneously before (rest for 10 min before exercise) and after a 20-min exercise session (fatigue level 1 for 0\u20139 min; fatigue level 2 for 10\u201319 min; recovery for \u2265 20 min after exercise). HRV was analysed in the frequency domain, including the low-frequency component (LF), high-frequency component (HF) and LF\/HF ratio. The LF\/HF ratio measured using radar highly agreed with that measured using ECG during rest (ICC = 0.807), \r\nfatigue-1 (ICC = 0.712), fatigue-2 (ICC = 0.741) and recovery (ICC = 0.764) in analyses using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). The change pattern in the LH\/HF ratios during the experiment was similar between radar and ECG. The subject\u2019s body fat percentage was linearly associated with the time to recovery from physical fatigue (R2 = 0.96,\r\np \u003C 0.001).

We examined the self-reported adherence to current PA guidelines and the prevalence of pain. We hypothesized those dealing with pain were less likely to meet PA guidelines. The PA levels, pain prevalence, frequency, and intensity were assessed via the survey and relationships explored via modeling.\r\n\r\nResults: Of 31,568, 46% were men and 53.99% women with mean age of 52.27 yr (\u00b117.31 yr). There were 12,429 (39.37%) participants that reported pain on some days, 2761 (8.75%) on most days, and 4661 (14.76%) every day. The odds of engaging in PA decreased in a stepwise fashion based on frequency and intensity of pain reporting when compared with no pain. Importantly, PA is a significant correlate affecting pain reporting, with individuals engaging in PA (strength and aerobic) demonstrating two times lower odds of reporting pain when compared with those not meeting the PA guidelines.\r\n\r\nConclusions: There is a significant correlation between meeting PA guidelines and pain. Meeting both criteria of PA guidelines resulted in lower odds of reporting pain.

Low-carbohydrate diets may affect these hormones, however individual studies show conflicting results. Therefore, we conducted a review to settle the controversy. The results indicated that low-carbohydrate diets cause a short-term increase in cortisol over the first couple of weeks, after which levels appear to return to baseline. This may be part of the adaption process to such diets, and non-pathological. Also, the results suggested that very high-protein diets may decrease testosterone, possibly in an effort to upregulate the urea cycle and increase nitrogen excretion. Although, this finding only applied to very high-protein diets, with protein intakes roughly three times the average person's.
