The following factors influencing running injuries were mentioned with an emphasis on the aging process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Training errors \u2013 adaptable<\/li>\n<li>Lower extremity structure<\/li>\n<li>Running mechanics<\/li>\n<li>AGING\n<ul>\n<li>\u2193ROM and lose dorsiflexion in ankle<\/li>\n<li>Sarcopenia &#8211; \u2193muscle mass, strength and tissue quality<\/li>\n<li>Altered stride pattern &#8211; \u2193velocity, stride length and swing time<\/li>\n<li>Altered lower extremity biomechanics &#8211; \u2193knee flexion and loading power, \u2191loading time<\/li>\n<li>\u00adVertical joint stiffness<\/li>\n<li>\u2193 Shock attenuation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>TOP TIPS: Single leg stance and balance activities are used as optimisation techniques. Softer shoes are recommended however this is done on a case-by-case basis.<\/h6>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Youth sports injuries: presented by Dr Angela Smith<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Five common problems were highlighted in Dr Angela Smith\u2019s lecture, &#8216;Correct alignment: preventing and treating youth sports injuries&#8217;:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Head forward\/\u201dturtling\u201d\n<ol>\n<li>Neck, upper back and shoulder pain<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Scapular dykinesis\n<ol>\n<li>Biceps tendinopathy and shoulder impingent<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Lumbar hyperlordosis\n<ol>\n<li>Tight hip flexors and lumbodorsal fascia<\/li>\n<li>Weak abdominal muscles<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Knees not over toes\n<ol>\n<li>Angular-rotational issues with resultant cruciate ligament damage<\/li>\n<li>Patellofemoral pain<\/li>\n<li>Poor posture = ACL issues<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Foot not aligned with tibia<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h6>TOP TIPS: Development of a strong base is important. An important analogy mentioned at the conference was that &#8220;you cannot fire a cannon from a rowboat\u201d further implying the importance of a strong base. A key component for core stability is hip strength which can be optimized by doing clam shells for external rotators and resistance band exercises.<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Cardiology Symposium: presented by Leigh Gordon and Efraim Kramer<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Both clinically and financially, cardiac screening needs committed resources. This includes ECG interpretation and cardiology support. For a sports team or sports physician, having a cardiologist on hand can be a costly affair. However, it is extremely important to screen and identify risk factors in every patient\/ athlete. The amazing discovery of the CDH2 gene for arrythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy at the University of Cape Town opens up doors for new research and pathways to be explored in dealing with heart disease. Genetic testing is expensive, which is why it is crucial to screen patients and identify those at risk. It is important that sudden cardiac death is preventable and it is imperative as a medical professional at a sports match, sports physician, or even coach to have a medical plan for any emergency on the field of play.<\/p>\n<h6>TOP TIPS:<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>ICD contraindication for contact sport<\/li>\n<li><strong>How to deal with Sudden cardiac arrest: 4 R\u2019s <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Recognition<\/strong>, which comprises of\n<ul>\n<li>Non-contact collapse<\/li>\n<li>Unresponsiveness\/ loss of consciousness\n<ul>\n<li><strong>NO OTHER SIGNS NEEDED!

It is important to note that with travel, our circadian rhythm shifts with every 15 degrees travelled. Thereafter, our body clock has to move 1 hour into a new time zone. Travelling east is usually worse than west but it is important to control our meals, sleep and drinks. Through correct timing of those, we can decrease travel fatigue, illness and injury and jet lag as a whole.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Interesting fact provided by Phato Zondi<\/strong><\/h6>\n<h6>International travel to foreign locations &gt;5hr time zone difference from home country = 2-3X greater incidence of illness<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><strong>TOP TIPS:<\/strong>Prevention tactics\/tools for Jet lag:<\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li>Bright Light:\n<ul>\n<li>Bright light exposure in late evening delays one&#8217;s body clock<\/li>\n<li>Bright light exposure in morning advances one&#8217;s body clock<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Diet:\n<ul>\n<li>Timing of meal is more important than type of meal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Sleep:\n<ul>\n<li>Shift schedule 1 to 2 hours towards destination time zone.<\/li>\n<li>Power naps are worthwhile.<\/li>\n<li>Quality &gt; Quantity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Exercise:\n<ul>\n<li>Cannot reliably shift circadian rhythms, but may maintain arousal level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Pharmacological:\n<ul>\n<li>Low dose melatonin very late evening to morning delays body clock.<\/li>\n<li>Low dose melatonin mid-afternoon to bed-time advances our body clock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5><strong>Concussion presenters: Jon Patricios, Stan Herring, Michael Turner and Wayne Derman<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h6>TOP TIPS:<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Previous assessment protocols were subjective + inconsistent<\/li>\n<li>Neurological + cognitive serial assessments are cornerstones of management<\/li>\n<li>Computerised tests can be useful diagnostic tool but it has its limitations<\/li>\n<li>Education is key!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>SCAT 5 is the new protocol and is used from paediatrics to professional athletes. However, with impaired athletes it needs to be adapted since balance tests cannot be done in athletes in wheelchairs. Visual tests cannot be conducted on the blind and cognitive tests cannot be conducted on mentally impaired. Therefore, we must be ready to adapt and assess appropriately.\u00a0 The new consensus from Belin conference summarised this into 11 R\u2019s:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>11 R\u2019s:\n<ol>\n<li>Recognise\n<ul>\n<li>Trauma related<\/li>\n<li>Short-lived and should get better<\/li>\n<li>Functional change<\/li>\n<li>Check if symptoms are not caused by drugs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Remove\n<ul>\n<li>Rapid screening NB<\/li>\n<li><strong>SCAT5 takes 10 minutes- DO NOT rush!

However, it is a post-mortem diagnosis and limited research means that we do not truly understand it at this point.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Interesting point made by Michael Turner:<\/strong><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>110\/111 NFL players have Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in a study.\n<ul>\n<li>There is definitely an association between concussion and CTE but there is no proven causation as of yet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Interested to read further?
