Based on eleven editions of the Grand Prix Bern (running distances 4,7 km and 16 km) between 2010 and 2022, the number of registered, starters and classified participants was compared with the number of medical incidents and the weather. Only patient data from the finish area was taken into account.
The literature shows few studies relative to shoulder pain, compared to injuries, among volleyball players. So, it is important to establish a prevalence or incidence of shoulder pain. Methods: A search was conducted on the main international databases considering the primary studies: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. At the conclusion, were selected 7 studies: 2 that are experimental, 2 that are cross-sectional, 2 are descriptive and the last one is a prospective cohort study. Results: The lifetime shoulder pain prevalence in volleyball players older than 18 ranges between 37,9 % and 52 % (52,5 % considering the pain during the matches). The prevalence of shoulder pain in younger athletes ranges between 9,0 % and 40 %. Conclusions: Shoulder pain is very frequent among volleyball players. However, further studies are needed to evaluate the prevalence of shoulder pain and to prevent it.
Background: We aimed to develop a physical activity prescription (PAP) that would help efficiently promote PA by medical practitioners in Luxembourg. Methods: During a first phase, a PAP model and its user guide were created by 15 experts (medical doctors, sport and exercise scientists, physiotherapists). Second, this PAP and its user guide were evaluated by a panel of medical doctors (different from the 15 experts) who were asked to answer a questionnaire in 2 rounds using 41 questions and 2 questions, respectively.
