In brief: In general, athletes have the same range of emotional illnesses as other persons, but the problem is complicated by the athlete's macho image and the fact that bizarre behavior is accepted and sometimes encouraged in sports. Two psychiatrists and two psychologists agreed that the most common emotional problem among athletes is depression, followed by abuse of alcohol or other drugs. Marital conflicts, anxiety reactions, and the threat of termination of a career at an early age are also common problems. Prevention must start early, and the panelists suggest that the role models in professional sports should be less violent.

摘要:

In brief: This study presents a two-season analysis of medical problems on a class A professional baseball team. On the average, one or two problems were recorded per game. Fewer injuries—but more illnesses—occurred at the ginning and end of the season. Pitchers, catchers, second basemen, and right fielders had the most injuries, and musculoskeletal problems accounted for 86.4% of all injuries. Of the 382 new injuries, 82.2% were treated by the gainer, 13.1% by the team physician, and 4.7% by specialists. The data suggest hat most problems were handled adequately by the team trainer and a Primary care physician.

摘要:

In brief: Cervical spine injuries are difficult to diagnose accurately with standard x-rays because the bony structures overlap one another. However, computerized axial tomography (CAT scanning) clearly shows the vertebral relationships. A CAT scan of the C-6 region of a 16-year-old high school running back who sustained an injury to the cervical spine revealed a fracture of the right vertebral arch that could not be seen on plain x-rays. The author says that because cervical and intracranial injuries can result in death or paralysis, players who experience numbness, tingling, paresthesia, and/or paralysis should be removed from sports activity.

摘要:

In brief: Ten masters female long-distance runners (mean age 43.8 years) were assessed for body composition and cardiovascular endurance. The mean body fat was 18.3%, which is approximately 40% of the value for a control group of sedentary women. The only women exhibiting lower values for Percent body fat were much younger elite athletes. VO2max averaged 43.41 ml·kg−1min−1, which is 25% higher than that of normal women of comparative ages. The question of whether a lifetime of endurance training can offset the age- related decrease in Vo2max is still unknown, but the increased interest in masters competition may provide the data to answer this question.
