“I just don’t remember anything after that,” Maroulis tells CNN Sport about her admission, adding that she was released a few days later. And then when I got the concussions, it felt like a lot of that flooded back,” she says. “My relationship with wrestling felt so damaged and broken,” she adds. Sarah Stier/Getty ImagesMore support needs to be given to young athletes experiencing concussion, Maroulis believes, particularly when some might delay seeking support for fear of seeming weak. Pushing through because you don’t want them to think you’re weak is the worst thing you can do,” Maroulis says.
CNN —CeCé Telfer calls it the moment her dreams seemed to be shattered as she questioned whether years of “blood, sweat and tears” were in vain. Last week, governing body World Athletics (WA) announced it would be prohibiting athletes who have gone through what it called “male puberty” from participating in female world rankings competitions. That includes Telfer, an American 400-meter hurdler who became the first out, transgender athlete to win an NCAA title in 2019. “The overriding feeling was definitely devastation for myself and for many around the world,” Telfer, speaking about her initial reaction to the announcement, tells CNN Sport in an exclusive interview. “I’m still going to keep pursuing my dreams and keep competing and keep running as much as I can, wherever I can, however I can,” Telfer adds.
A new paper that analyzed data from 41 studies found that exercise had a big effect on depression. Researchers found that exercise improved depression symptoms at least as much as other treatments. They said that exercise should be offered as "an evidence-based treatment option" for patients. Aerobic exercise and resistance training had big effects on reducing depression symptoms, the authors noted, as did supervised and group exercises of "moderate intensity." A 2018 study published in JAMA Psychiatry found that strength training can help treat depression just as well as aerobic exercise.
Balance training is an often overlooked skill that can boost both your longevity and quality of life, researchers say. A 2022 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that, for people over 50 years old, not being able to stand on one foot for 10 seconds was associated with a higher risk of death from any cause within the next decade. Of the 1,700 adults in the study, 20% didn't pass the test. About 36 million falls are reported among older adults each year — resulting in more than 32,000 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's why, as a health and fitness trainer, one of the biggest things I focus on is improving my clients' balance.
The Miami Palmetto Senior High School Lady Panthers huddle before the start of their basketball game against the Miami Senior High School Lady Stings at Miami Senior High School on Feb. 3, 2023, in Miami. Florida schools will no longer ask student-athletes to share their menstrual histories in order to play high school sports, following months of opposition from parents, physicians and advocates. Until now, the form included five optional questions about a student-athlete's menstrual history. Now, however, the newly adopted form will not ask student-athletes about menstruation, instead requiring them to fill out questions about their medical, surgical and emotional histories. (The organization did not provide statistics on transgender and nonbinary people's participation in high school sports in Florida.)
Commotio cordis occurs less than a few dozen times a year in the U.S. Could chest protectors prevent the problem? It wasn't until 2019 that the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment, developed standards for chest protectors. In 2022, USA Lacrosse mandated that all youth lacrosse players wear chest protection. Though doctors have not said whether Hamlin's injury was indeed commotio cordis, Acompora is glad to see the condition getting national attention. Chest protectors such as this one from Unequal Technologies have been in demand since Damar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest Monday.
Celine Dion revealed on Thursday that she has a rare medical condition that has forced her to postpone dates on her European tour next year. “As you know, I’ve always been an open book and I wasn’t ready to say anything before, but I’m ready now. “Recently, I’ve been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called the stiff-person syndrome, which affects something like one in a million people. I love you guys so much and I really hope I can see you again real soon.”Dion had canceled North American tour dates in January and European dates in April due to health issues. Stiff-person syndrome, or SPS, is a rare neurological disorder with some features of an autoimmune disease, according to the National Institutes of Health.

CNN —Stiff person syndrome is a rare neurological condition that can take years to diagnose and tailor treatment. What is stiff person syndrome? The first case of stiff person syndrome was reported in the 1950s, according to Newsome, and the disease was historically referred to as “stiff man syndrome.”Since then, it has been found to affect twice as many women than men, and the name was changed to stiff person syndrome to avoid confusion. On average, it takes about seven years for someone to receive a diagnosis of stiff person syndrome, Newsome says. “Sometimes, [patients] get labeled crazy,” he said, “because on exam early on, there aren’t the hallmark features of stiff person syndrome.”How is stiff person syndrome treated?
[1/2] Singer Celine Dion arrives to attend the Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2019/20 collection show by designer Alexandre Vauthier in Paris, France, July 2, 2019. REUTERS/Regis DuvignauDec 8 (Reuters) - Canadian singer Celine Dion said she has been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called Stiff-Person Syndrome that causes muscle spasms and has led her to postpone some European shows. Dion's muscle spasms led her to postpone her Las Vegas residency in October 2021. The "My Heart Will Go On" singer said that while she misses her fans, her health is her focus right now. While Dion's spring 2023 shows will be rescheduled for the following year, eight summer 2023 shows have been canceled.
CNN —Celine Dion is postponing several Europe tour dates after the recent diagnosis of a rare neurological disorder that doesn’t allow her “to sing the way I’m used to,” she announced. The superstar singer has stiff-person syndrome, which affects “something like one in a million people,” Dion, 54, said in an emotional video post Thursday to her verified Instagram account. “While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms that I’ve been having,” she said. “Symptoms may include extreme muscle stiffness, rigidity and painful spasms in the trunk and limbs, severely impairing mobility,” the institute says. Dion has struggled with her health for a while, she said, adding she has a great team of medical professionals and her children’s support.
Having the most protection from severe outcomes following Covid-19 infection is largely attributed to vaccination. But, the shot's effectiveness may be enhanced by physical activity, a new study found. They completed at least 150 minutes, or two and a half hours, of physical activity each week. Intensity: Their physical activity was moderate intensity, which means their heart rate was between 70% or 79% of their maximum heart rate while exercising. Participants within this group were 2.8 times less likely to develop severe outcomes from Covid-19 than people who rarely exercise.

Sprains, strains, dislocations and fractures were common but also concussions and other head injuries. In fact, head injuries make up 20% of the roughly 600,000 ski- and snowboarding-related injuries that occur annually across North America, according to a study published in The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery. “Certainly, we worry the most about head injuries,” said Dr. Brian Cole, an orthopedic surgeon at Chicago’s Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush. “You’re less likely to have a catastrophic ligament tear or fracture this way.”Common injuries by age and sexSome winter sports injuries are more common in people of a certain sex or age. Cole sees a lot of sledding injuries in his younger patients, snowmobiling injuries in middle-aged men and downhill skiing injuries in women, especially torn ACLs in the knee.
Yet HIIT workouts require maximum exertion, which means they aren’t for every day — or necessarily for everyone. “But that might not be what you’re really doing.”You can perform HIIT workouts using body weight via circuits of exercises such as lunges. undrey/Adobe StockFull-body workout: Variable-intensity interval trainingA VIIT workout is the sweet spot between HIIT and HVIT sessions, Brock said, featuring intervals of hard, medium and low intensity. “Variable intensity workouts are great because they use the entire gauntlet,” Brock said, offering a more complete, full-body workout. If losing weight is your aim and you don’t have much time, the shorter, calorie-busting HIIT workouts may be the way to go.
“I was open about my sexuality at that point, but not my gender identity,” Hiltz tells CNN Sport. After coming out as trans and non-binary, Hiltz continues to compete in the women’s division. “You know, I have no business putting on an in-person race,” Hiltz jokes. Spencer Cox’s veto of a bill that bans transgender women from competing on women’s and girls’ sports teams. Since coming out as trans and non-binary last year, Hiltz has had conversations with race directors and announcers about making running more inclusive.
Miami Dolphins player Tua Tagovailoa was injured in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. A number of former NFL players are taking to social media saying the NFL failed him. On Saturday, The NFL and NFL players union agreed to modify the league's concussion protocol. After leaving the league, Martin was arrested in 2018 for a social-media post that police deemed threatening. "Tua Tagovailoa will never be the same."
Despite that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback led the league in regular season passing yards, completions and touchdown passes. And he was the starting quarterback in four of the past six Super Bowls, bagging three Lombardi Trophies in that span. At the game Brady attended, Ronaldo became the highest scorer in FIFA history after netting his 807th career goal. Not everyone is brimming with the baseline talents of James or Brady or has the discipline or resources to stick with such regimens. With time, this may radically alter how athletes at all levels are nurtured, and even how nonathletes fend off the crippling effects of age.
Factorii de risc cei mai asociaţi cu o formă severă de COVID-19 sunt vârsta înaintată, sexul masculin şi anumite patologii preexistente, cum ar fi diabetul, obezitatea şi bolile cardiovasculare. Vârsta medie a pacienţilor a fost de 47 de ani şi aproape două treimi dintre aceştia au fost femei (62%). În medie, indicele lor de masă corporală (IMC) a fost de 31, imediat peste pragul de obezitate. Toţi îşi declaraseră nivelul de activitate fizică regulată de cel puţin trei ori între martie 2018 şi martie 2020 în timpul vizitelor la clinicile ambulatorii. Dintre aceştia, 15% s-au descris ca fiind inactivi (între 0 şi 10 minute de activitate fizică pe săptămână); 7% au dat asigurări că respectă sistematic directivele sanitare (cel puţin 150 de minute pe săptămână).

Малоподвижный образ жизни удваивает вероятность госпитализации при заражении коронавирусом и почти в три раза увеличивает риск смерти от осложнений при заболевании COVID-19. Результаты своей работы ученые изложили в British Journal of Sports Medicine. Они призвали здравоохранительные органы всех стран мира учитывать это в работе с населением. По мнению медиков, это «особенно важно, учитывая то, как тяжело поддерживать форму во время изоляции». К слову, как писал сайт kp.ru, ученые из Массачусетского технологического института назвали простой, но эффективный способ заставить себя заниматься физкультурой: нужно найти компанию.
