摘要:

In brief: Distance runners are suggested as a new model for optimal health standards because normal values are now derived from the American public, which is notorious for its obesity, low level of physical fitness, bad eating habits, use of cigarettes and drugs, and high incidence of cardiovascular and other degenerative diseases. As a group, the 50 distance runners studied showed lower than normal body weight, body fat, resting heart rate, serum cholesterol and triglycerides; higher HDL cholesterol; and lower cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratios. However, the runners who ate the average American diet sometimes had normal values.

摘要:

In brief: A review of the records of 62 runners treated for stress fractures showed that initial x-rays were positive in 47.2% of the cases, while bone scans were positive in 95.8%. A combination of errors in training and changes in footwear accounted for 44% of the fractures, and all the patients had alignment problems. The runners had waited until their performance was seriously impaired to seek treatment. The authors concluded that if point tenderness and soft-tissue swelling are recognized early, stress fractures can be prevented with rest, muscle rehabilitation, and orthotic control of excessive pronation.

摘要:

In brief: Hyphema was the most common serious injury in this review of 67 squash and 18 racquetball eye injuries. Several patients had corneal lacerations and retinal detachments, and many had lid contusions, small lacerations, and subconjunctival hemorrhages. Eight sustained severe loss of vision. Open eye guards did not protect all players who wore them, and all types of prescription lenses were breakable. Since these patients had several years of experience, competitive players may be at higher risk. Carefully chosen eye guards and defensive playing could solve much of the problem.

摘要:

In brief: Lower extremity injuries are common in downhill skiing. Fifty-three percent of the skiing injuries in one study, and 81% in another, were below the knee. Twelve case reports are presented and their treatment is discussed. The author suggests that skiers undertake a physical fitness program to increase stamina and elasticity of muscles and ligaments.
