The Athlete’s ECG

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading non-traumatic cause of mortality in athletes under 35, most often due to inherited cardiomyopathies or primary electrical disorders that may remain silent until a fatal event. The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most accessible and cost-effective screening tool, yet its early use was hampered by poor specificity and high false-positive rates, mainly due to non-standardized interpretation and limited awareness of physiological adaptations.

“Testing and Procedures in Sports Medicine” – what is this SEMS-course about?

Sports and exercise medicine is about putting things in practice. However, as many academic disciplines it suffers of a discrepancy of science in theory and practical life. To bridge this gap and to break down relevant scientific know-how in favour of athletes’ health and performance is one of the goals of all SEMS educational courses.

Interventionelle Behandlungen des vegetativen Nervensystems bei Sportverletzungen mit CRPS und DOMS

Injections around the autonomic nervous system, particularly the so-called sympathetic trunk, have been established for years.

Bridging the Gap: Artificial Intelligence in Sports Medicine and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation

As a medical doctor deeply entrenched in the world of sports medicine and musculoskeletal rehabilitation, I find myself at a crossroads, wrestling with the immense potential and inherent skepticism surrounding the use of modern AI tools in my field. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) large language models into physiotherapy and medicine has undoubtedly brought about transformative opportunities and efficiencies, but it also raises critical questions and concerns.

Der verflixte erste Posten – Laufzeitenanalyse von OL-Juniorinnen und -Junioren

Orienteering is a combination of cognitive and physical capabilities of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system. However, especially for juniors, there is often the risk of running too fast compared to map-reading skills, which ends up in search actions. This yields directly to the aim of the study to analyze the steadiness of speed for course times in junior orienteering runners.

Intérêt de la Carboxythérapie Percutanée dans la prise en charge des douleurs et des limitations fonctionnelles post-traumatiques et post-opératoires du membre inférieur

Thermal waters have been known since Antiquity for their therapeutic properties in various pathologies. Since the end of the 19th century, some of them have experienced a resurgence of interest, in particular those rich in carbon dioxide. Their therapeutic properties have since been studied in rheumatic and arterial pathologies due to the increase in tissue oxygenation they induce.
