In brief: Cross-country skiing is an attractive winter alternative to walking or jogging, but persons with coronary artery disease must be aware of its high energy costs and make appropriate adjustments. Oxygen costs can be affected by variations in efficiency, arm work, snow, cold temperatures, inclines, altitude, and skier misperceptions. The authors give safety recommendations to reduce the hazards and enable cross-country skiers to enjoy their winter sport.

摘要:

In brief: The author discusses 19 ocular injuries in squash and racquetball players who wore eye guards with an opening between the upper and lower rim. The more recently developed eye guards that protect the eye with thick plastic should prevent direct injury from rackets or balls.

摘要:

In brief: Women who want to scuba dive should be physically fit and should not be overly dependent on a male diving buddy. In his discussion on diving and menstruation, the author says that postmenopausal women can dive safely, and those who are menstruating can dive within the limits of their comfort. He stresses that pregnant women and women who are trying to become pregnant should not dive. Women who use oral contraceptives should dive conservatively, because it is not known if birth control pills increase the risk of decompression sickness. The author also discusses thermal balance problems and when to resume diving after childbirth.

摘要:

In brief: Tae Kwon Do, the martial art of Korea, is a highly disciplined sport teaching well-coordinated, rapid, forceful techniques. It is typically associated with minor injuries, particularly contusions, sprains, and strains of the lower and upper extremities. More serious injuries rarely occur, although they have been recorded. A knowledge of injuries in other sports is useful in managing those in Tae Kwon Do. More thorough education of students and instructors will reduce morbidity and rehabilitation time.

摘要:

In brief: To avoid the bias of injury studies based only on coaches' perceptions, four athletic trainers served in high schools in a two-year study to identify and evaluate all injuries resulting from athletic participation. There were 1,181 injuries in 3,049 participants in 19 sports. Sprains and strains accounted for two thirds of the injuries, and the most common injury was the ankle sprain. Thirty-nine percent of injuries were evaluated by a physician, and 25 injuries required hospitalization. The athletic trainers probably increased physician visits and x-ray examinations and sensitized the schools to the need for injury prevention, recognition, treatment, and rehabilitation.

Some NFL football teams see physiological profiling as a means to protect and enhance their competitive and business success. Whether football players will benefit by increased performance and fewer injuries remains to be seen.
