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.
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).
Do good and talk about it! Taking care of the health of your members is certainly a positive thing and we were interested in how our national sports federations communicate their health promotion activities on one of the most important means of today, the Internet. The results are, shall we say diplomatically, improvable, especially since there will be further “losses” before the information reaches the local club athlete!
During intermittent fasting of Ramadan, research has shown a modification in athletes’ sleep habits and lifestyle. As a result, these changes might affect a range of chronobiological and psychological parameters. Thus, the present study explores the effect of intermittent fasting during Ramadan and circadian preference on sleep patterns and perception after aerobic exercise.
Postural stability is critical for injury prevention and rehabilitation. An advantage in favor of female subjects compared to males could be determined in many studies, whereby the quantification, reliability and validity are limited due to the method. The Posturomed® allows to measure stability in the vertical and horizontal directions. So far, there are no studies that have recorded postural stability with the Posturomed® and examined gender-specific differences.
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.
