1. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, it was found that minimalist footwear reduced the load experienced by the patellofemoral joint during running more than conventional footwear. 2. In addition, medial support insoles and rocker-soled shoes did not impact patellofemoral joint loads while walking or running. Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent) Symptoms associated with patellofemoral
Exercise improves arterial stiffness in children and adolescents 1. In this systematic review and network meta-analysis, resistance training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and aerobic exercise interventions were superior to controls in reducing arterial stiffness in children and adolescents. 2. However, sensorimotor training did not show a benefit in reducing arterial stiffness compared to controls. Evidence
Objectives: To systematically evaluate the literature and estimate the prevalence, incidence, and burden of gradual-onset knee injuries in team ball-sports. Design: Systematic review with meta-analysis. Methods: Six databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, SCOPUS) were searched from inception to June 2021. Cohort studies of team ball-sports reporting the number of gradual-onset knee injuries were included. Study quality was assessed using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Studies were pooled using a Freeman-Tukey Double arcsine transformation (prevalence) and a Poisson random effects regression model (incidence, burden). Results: Forty-nine studies that captured gradual-onset knee injuries (unclassified, patellofemoral pain, tendinopathies, and iliotibial band friction syndrome) across 15 team ball-sports were included. For unclassified gradual-onset knee injuries, prevalence was 4 % (95 % Confidence Interval (CI) 2 % to 7 %, I2 = 96 %), incidence was 0.32 per
