The evolution of sports and exercise medicine: embracing innovation and integration
Sports and exercise medicine (SEM) has undergone significant transformations over the past few decades, mirroring advancements in science, technology, and a growing understanding of the critical role that physical activity plays in overall health and wellbeing. As a multidisciplinary field, SEM encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions related to sports and exercise. It also includes the promotion of physical activity for health benefits. This editorial explores the current trends, challenges, and future directions in SEM, emphasizing the importance of innovation and integration.
Exercise-induced left ventricular trabeculation: what’s the evidence?
Cross-sectional studies and small case series have suggested that increased left ventricular (LV) trabeculation may be a manifestation of benign athletic remodeling in predisposed individuals. Interestingly, there is some support that increased LV trabeculation may improve cardiac performance through increases in stroke volume, stroke work and cardiac index (preprint).
Is insufficient knowledge of epilepsy among Physiotherapists the reason for less exercise prescription for epileptic patients?
Participating in physical activity and exercise has significant benefits, including treating, preventing, and reducing risk factors for chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and osteoarthritis. Physical activity can also positively play a role in palliative care among individuals with terminal diseases.
Renal rehabilitation: Recommendations of exercise therapies in patients with kidney diseases
Renal rehabilitation is a process to conduct treatments for the patients suffering from kidney disease and support to help them for their smooth achievement of social rehabilitation. Patients with dialysis-dependent kidney failure carry some additional burden of co-morbidity, such as, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, infections, and many other. Approximately 10% of the world population is affected by chronic kidney disease and the incidence of dialysis is quite high.
Acute effect of an abdominal exercise combining diaphragmatic aspiration and Curl-up on the interrecti distance: a cross sectional study in postpartum women
Diastasis recti is defined as an interrecti distance (IRD) over 23 mm in Beninese postpartum women. Its prevalence is 46%. The Curl-up acutely reduces the IRD but it increases the linea alba distortion and it is considered to be hyperpressive. When Curl-up is combined with Diaphragmatic aspiration (DA) the intra-abdominal pressure is lower. Moreover, combining Curl-up with transversus abdominis activation is recommended to decrease the linea alba distortion.
