Interview with Patrik Noack
Interviewed by Dr Boris Gojanovic, SEMS president Dear Dr Noack, can you tell us how and why you got interested in becoming a sports and exercise medicine doctor? PN: Well…
Eine (un)gewöhnliche OSG-Distorsion
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) belong to the most prescribed and used drugs in sports medicine. Not as prevalent as the well-known gastrointestinal side effects and bleeding complications is a nephrogenic complication.
Notfälle in der pädiatrischen Sportmedizin
Acute medical emergencies also occur in children and adolescents who participate in sports. Should a life-threatening situation arise, it is important that supporting supervisors are familiar with the correct application of resuscitation measures and regularly update their knowledge.
Ausgewählte Verletzungen bei Kindern und Jugendlichen – obere Extremität: Handgelenksverletzungen junger Athleten
Das Handgelenk ist im Sport eines der am häufigsten verletzten Körperteile, unabhängig von der Altersklasse. Die Verletzungsmuster des noch wachsenden Bewegungsapparates unterscheiden sich jedoch deutlich von den Verletzungen im Erwachsenenalter.
Wirbelsäulenprobleme beim jungen Athleten
Participation in physical activity has increased in intensity at a young age. Due to their growth with hormonal changes and influences, young people are prone to spinal problems. It is therefore of great importance that trainers, paediatricians and parents are familiar with the sport-specific movement sequences and take measures to prevent potential problems.
Ausgesuchte Verletzungen bei Kindern und Adoleszenten: Klinische Aspekte und Therapieansätze für Sportärzte
Children and adolescents are in a complex biological balance where their bodies are constantly changing and exposed to various forces. Hormonal changes during growth, especially during puberty, influence the growth and development of bones and muscles.
Apophysen – die Achillesferse junger Sportler
Apophyses are bone nuclei of adolescence that are connected to the actual bone via their cartilaginous apophyseal joint. They are of particular clinical relevance where larger tendons and ligaments attach. The apophyses, as well as their joints, are particularly active during growth and represent potentially injury-prone areas, especially in developing young athletes during critical phases of growth.
Nutritional aspects of energy availability and relative energy deficiency in sport
The relative energy deficiency in sport (REDs) is a complex state of low energy availability in the athletes’ body. Signs and symptoms comprise not only a low bone mineral density and a menstrual dysfunction as initially thought but also a metabolic and hormonal imbalance together with cardiovascular and mental issues.
Menstrual cycle and performance sports – an update
Top sporting performances are achieved by women and men. However, the performance of organs and metabolic processes varies due to different genetic and hormonal conditions. There is currently a considerable need for more research in this area.
Youth Resistance Training: The Past, the Present, and the Future
Based on anecdotal and preliminary evidence, the perception of youth resistance training (RT) was critical in the past. Accordingly, this opinion editorial aims to summarize information on youth RT by taking past and present research findings into account to deduce future research avenues.
Sportärztliche Untersuchung (SPU) bei Kindern und Jugendlichen: Was gilt es zu beachten?
The preparticipation screening (PPE) of children and adolescents is basically not different in structure from the SPU for adult athletes. However, there are some special features that will be briefly described in this article. First of all, we are dealing with growing athletes.
