摘要:

In brief:Tennis elbow is not exclusively the bailiwick of tennis players. For example, pianists and anyone wielding a hammer are prone to the ailment. But regardless of the cause, the first step in treatment is to relieve pain and decrease inflammation. Then rehabilitation exercises can begin. Alterations in equipment and techniques that contribute to the problem are often key to recovery and prevention.

摘要:

In brief:Using hand weights during aerobic exercise has been recommended for increasing upper-body strength and calorie expenditure, but this practice can lead to a rare complication—effort thrombosis, as discussed in this case report. Physicians need to consider this complication when a runner complains of muscle strain. The patient history is important; physical examination should include arm measurement comparisons and neurologic, vascular, and musculoskeletal evaluations.

摘要:

In brief:Calluses can be advantageous to some athletes but painful to others, while corns are characteristically painful. Corns and calluses, which may be confused with plantar warts, can be differentiated by gentle paring with a scalpel. This will reveal soft, granular, elongated mounds of dermis projecting up into the epidermis if the abnormality is a wart. Treatment of corns and calluses includes relieving the cause of pressure or friction. Properly fitting shoes and corn/callus pads can help prevent or minimize these common skin disorders.

摘要:

In brief:Even moderate sports participation is associated with enhanced functional capacity, according to data collected on 554 men and 202 women who underwent maximal exercise testing during the 1985 World Masters Games in Toronto. Their training was modest relative to elite competitors. Nevertheless, their peak power output during cycle ergometry and peak oxygen intake were above the norm for nonathletes of the same age, resembling the values of sedentary 25-year-olds. Such gains have major implications for maintaining independence in the later years of life. Thus encouraging older people to increase their physical activity would seem an important public health measure.

摘要:

In brief:A retrospective study of 1,067 college athletes was done to determine the prevalence of certain abnormalities in their preseason complete blood cell count. The authors analyzed the values for white blood cell count, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, and platelet count. In addition, they reviewed the literature to determine if an abnormality in any of these parameters alters athletic performance. Their conclusion: Only a hemoglobin level is useful in preseason evaluations.

摘要:

Intense exercise may reduce healthy athletes' immunity or open the door to serious illness in athletes who already have a cold. Generally however, your patients can safely exercise with colds—and may even feel better—if some commonsense rules are followed.

摘要:

A person can burn an impressive amount of energy in a few minutes on a stair-climbing machine, though there's nothing magical about this latest fitness craze. Observers say the same effect can come through such mundane tasks as…well, climbing stairs.

The fitness craze has spread far and wide, gathering new recruits of every age, size, and shape. But some physicians say its invasion into infancy is going a step too far.
