Tangling in mud, young Ugandans hold pro wrestling dreams
MUKONO, Uganda — In a forested area outside Uganda's capital, a few dozen youth gather around a makeshift ring to watch two amateur wrestlers tangle in the mud. The training sessions, complete with an announcer and referee, imitate the pro wrestling contests the teens regularly see on television. Ugandan enthusiast Daniel Bumba, known in the wrestling community as Bumbash, hopes that some of these wrestlers, many of them orphans, can do well and long enough to go professional.
Common issues of systematic reviews in the sports and exercise medicine field
Sports Exercise Medicine Method Review Systematic reviews that include meta-analysis, and in particular meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials, with the exception of umbrella and rapid reviews,1 are at the top of hierarchy of evidence, as these studies apply the scientific method to identify high-quality evidence, such as randomised controlled trials, and synthesise this evidence via meta-analytical methods that afford greater statistical power than any one study alone.2 3...
Towards data-driven biopsychosocial classification of non-specific chronic low back pain: a pilot study - Scientific Reports
Abstract The classification of non-specific chronic low back pain (CLBP) according to multidimensional data could guide clinical management; yet recent systematic reviews show this has not been attempted. This was a prospective cross-sectional study of participants with CLBP (n = 21) and age-, sex- and height-matched pain-free controls (n = 21). Nervous system, lumbar spinal tissue and psychosocial factors were collected.

Sleep disturbance in caregivers of individuals with Parkinsonism: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Discussion The aims of this systematic review and meta-analysis were to investigate whether providing care to an individual with Parkinsonism was associated with disturbed caregiver sleep, and to identify associated factors that may contribute to disturbed sleep in this population.
Shining on others, I burn myself: time to disagree with Hippocrates
Community Well-being Health promotion After 2 years of varying forms of lockdown, working (mostly) from home or under intense pressure, we have returned to in-person meetings. Yet, this transition was more intense and demanding than we considered. Yet is this true? Might it be that the pandemic revealed a deeper issue we face in academia, and unravelled a tremendous mismatch between work and personal life? We proudly say that as academics, we can work anywhere and anytime.

Chronic back pain sub-grouped via psychosocial, brain and physical factors using machine learning - Scientific Reports
This was a cross-sectional study of the UKBioBank imaging visit (Project ID: 55843). Following the first wave of recruitment between 2006 and 2010, a subset of participants was invited for initial imaging analyses between 2014 and 2018. Participants provided written informed consent prior to data collection. For this sub-study, we used a sample of individuals with chronic back pain and those who were pain-free.

Effects of a multicomponent resistance-based exercise program with protein, vitamin D and calcium supplementation on cognition in men with prostate cancer treated with ADT: secondary analysis of a 12-month randomised controlled trial
Discussion To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the efficacy of a resistance-based multicomponent exercise intervention combined with a multinutrient supplement on objectively measured cognitive function in ADT-treated men with PCa. The main findings from this secondary analysis were that a multicomponent exercise training and nutritional supplementation intervention did not improve cognitive function in men treated with ADT for PCa compared with usual care.
Effects of Moderate‐ to High‐Impact Exercise Training on Bone Structure Across the Lifespan: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Introduction Osteoporosis, defined as areal bone mineral density (aBMD) ≤2.5 SD below the reference mean,(1) is associated with a fivefold increased risk of fragility fracture.(2) However, most low-trauma fragility fractures occur in older individuals with normal aBMD or osteopenia.(3, 4) This may in part be explained by age-related impairments in bone structure, quantified by parameters such as cross-sectional area and microarchitecture, and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), which...

Effects of Exercise Training on Fear-Avoidance in Pain and Pain-Free Populations: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Abstract Background Fear of pain and movement is an important factor in the development of hypervigilance and avoidance behaviours. Objective We examined the effectiveness of exercise training on improving fear-avoidance beliefs. Methods A systematic review (data sources: MEDLINE, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, EMBASE, CENTRAL) and metaanalysis of randomised controlled/clinical trials of exercise training in adults versus relevant nonexercise comparators that quantified fear-avoidance was conducted.
