摘要:

In brief: Aerobic dancing is a popular fitness activity in Japan, primarily among young women. To identify and characterize the injuries associated with aerobic dance, 161 instructors and 800 students from 13 Japanese fitness facilities were surveyed. Results showed an injury rate of 72.4% for instructors and 22.8% for students. The lower leg and foot were the most common injury sites for instructors and students, respectively. Though these results seem to indicate that aerobic dance is hazardous, the number of injuries per 100 hours of participation was only 0.17 for instructors and 0.15 for students. Most aerobic dance injuries seem to be caused by overuse; thus, moderating the frequency and duration of participation and individualizing programs could reduce the number of injuries that occur.

摘要:

In brief: Sixty-one athletes competed in the 1987 National Championship of the US Powerlifting Federation; all were surveyed to obtain information on anabolic-androgenic steroids regarding attitudes, patterns of use, and health effects. Of the 45 who responded to the survey, 15 admitted having used steroids. In a follow-up telephone interview of 20 of the competitors, 11 reported previous steroid use. The reason given most often for using steroids was improved athletic performance; the most common side effects reported were heightened libido, acne, and increased body hair. The small number of admitted users suggests that underreporting took place; this level of use probably represents the lower bound of steroid use among power lifters.

摘要:

Whether the research takes place on the playing field or in the laboratory, it doesn't seem to matter: The effectiveness of knee braces in preventing injuries remains inconclusive.
