What you train is what you get: About the rationale of training zones in endurance sports

Endurance sports as one form of physical activity offer health benefits in many ways. Endurance training is among athletes of all ages very popular. In order to achieve a training impact endurance training needs to be on a regular basis, for a certain duration and at a chosen intensity.

“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.

MSC (medizinische Signalzellen) in der regenerativen Medizin – beispielhaft SVF

In the context of regenerative medicine, therapy using autologous cells (in combination with platelet-rich plasma) appears to be a promising option. The so-called medicinal signaling cells (MSC), also known as mesenchymal stem cells, can be obtained, for example, from bone marrow, subcutaneous adipose tissue, or umbilical cord blood, and can be applied to targets of degeneration or inflammation.

Sportfisio Symposium 2023 – Bern, November 24th

The annual Swiss Sports Physiotherapy Association Symposium (SSPA) is always a highlight for the year. Our dear friends at SSPA have made the decision many years ago to organize their symposium in English only, in order to invite some of the best international researchers and clinicians in the field of sport medicine rehabilitation and training.

La SEMS et Le Réseau Santé & Sport en visite à Toulon

Elle avait été annoncée, et elle s’est réalisée. En avril dernier [1] il avait été annoncé que, dans le cadre d’une collaboration francophone, la SEMS et Le Réseau Santé & Sport allaient se déplacer chez nos voisins français au congrès conjoint de la Société Française de Traumatologie du Sport (SFTS) et de la Société Française de Médecine de l’Exercice et du Sport (SFMES) à Toulon (F).

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.

Effects of two endurance training protocols (High Intensity Interval Training = HIIT versus Polarized Training = POL) on endurance capacity, heart rate at rest and heart rate variability (HRV) in young sport students

The goal of the present study was the analysis of the effects of two endurance training interventions (HIIT versus POL) over a period of 5 weeks on 16/17 year old sport major students. The study was integrated in regular P.E. lessons. In addition to the training load, daily changes of easily measurable cardiologic parameters were monitored in order to assess their validity in predicting endurance performance. The students conducted 12 training sessions in two groups. With pre- and post-tests the endurance capacity was determined via Luc Léger’s shuttle run test.

Learning and sharing at the Lausanne 2020 Youth Olympic Games medical clinic

The Youth Olympic Games are an elite sporting event that include a series of educational activities and we built the whole concept of medical care at the village in the same spirit. We wanted not only to build a clinic with a lot of expertise, but to create a space for education for the young athletes, their medical teams and our volunteers.

Differential coordination behaviour between concentric and eccentric contractions – many questions remain unanswered

Concentric and eccentric muscle work is characterized through different biochemical activating cascades. Concentric contraction is characterized by an ATP O2 coupling dependent interaction of the myofibril proteins Aktin and Myosin. In eccentric contraction, according to the Winding-filament hypothesis, a rotation movement around the thin filament is caused which is ATP independent. In addition, the processes of motor anticipation vary greatly between the two. This leads to the aim of the study: What are the differences in concentric versus eccentric muscle work concerning anticipation, perception and execution.
