Dreams Are Made of This

Julien Périard is a Canadian research scientist. After racing on the International Triathlon Union Circuit, he completed a PhD at the University of Sydney, investigating the mechanisms that limit prolonged exercise in the heat. He continues to be intrigued by the mechanisms that mediate performance and fatigue in adverse conditions and is now based in Qatar, an ideal place conduct heat studies in athletes. 

In this podcast he talks about a study he led with tennis players competing in both hot (37ºC) and cool (22ºC) conditions. He discusses the thermal, physiological and perceptual strain associated with match-play tennis in these conditions, as well as fatigue from a physical and neuromuscular performance perspective. He further discusses the impact of playing in the heat on oxidative stress, and the role of an individualized hydration regimen on performance under heat stress. 

He gives several important take home messages for coaches and players who plan to compete in the heat.

ลูกเป็ดขี้เหร่

With Rob Swire (Manchester United) and Stijn Vandenbroucke (Moscow Dynamo).

‘You always start off the season with a masterplan of what you are wanting to do but we’ve never had a master plan that works or goes anywhere near where it is supposed to, but you just try your best’. Given this validation of what you are doing, listen and see how you CAN make prevent injuries and improve team performance by working as a team with your other health professional as well as strength and conditioning colleagues.  

It’s all about load monitoring and here you can hear from two very experienced physios in the field. What role GPS? What role other software? This is a scenario where ‘e-Health’ or ‘M-health’ meets performance. 

Our guests speak about how to customise training and monitor players’ adaptation – What are the things to watch out for? When can a player return to training after an injury spell? Is the coach the greatest risk factor – and can the GPS help communicate load messages to the coach?

Practical tips for in-season injury prevention and monitoring professional football players

Isabel van Obergen and Hannes Cleppe discuss their prevention platform for sports: a software program (SpartaNova) that is in the ‘e-Health’ category for physiotherapy and sports medicine. 

We begin with an obvious competing interest disclaimer. BJSM has no financial interest or association with SpartaNova. Because clinicians use specific products, such as ‘Theraband’ ® for example, BJSM will report on the utility of such products while being open about any competing interests. Have you considered using software in your practice? Feel free to suggest what we should assess. We love to share ‘success stories’ – and if a commercial product adds value for you we’d report that information.

Our guests in this podcast are the CEO of SpartaNova, (IvO) who was attending London’s ‘Leaders in Performance’ conference in 2013, and Hannes Cleppe, who trained as a physiotherapist in Belgium and the US before focusing on developing the injury prevention module for this product. The team includes active clinical advisors as well as experts in computer sciences and maths and closely co-operates with science partners from its founding universities and a broader network of researchers.

Helping clinicians to turn evidence into practice – software for injury prevention and rehab

Integrating athlete care – ‘one stop shop’ to optimize athlete care - sports medicine with a focus on PERFORMANCE.

Dr Paul Dijkstra has vast experience in elite track and field athlete care. He shares his experience from UK Athletics – the team won 4 gold medals at the London Olympic Games. What’s new in this approach? This model of athlete care emphasises the partnership among not only the health professionals, but also with the strength and conditioning team and the coach(es). Also emphasised is performance – too often clinicians tend to focus exclusively on health whereas the athlete’s focus is performance.

Dr Dijkstra provides case scenarios -- how the management model works in real life. He shares the public domain case of UK heptathlete Jessica Ennis who forewent the Beijing Olympic Games (2008) because of a navicular stress fracture, but chose full healing and a longer future over ‘patch up’ to get to the 2008 Olympic Games. 

The paper outlining this approach was featured in the April issue of BJSM supported by the IOC (Injury Prevention, Health Protection). You can read the Open Access paper here: http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/48/7/523.full

Paul Dijkstra - Time for a different way to deliver care to high level athletes

Here’s the podcast that over 12,000 listeners have been demanding – physiotherapist Adam Meakins (@TheSportsPhysio)on a number of controversial topics, including:
Is diagnostic palpation accurate?
Can the sacroiliac joint really be ‘unstable’?
How does ‘touch’ in physiotherapy have its therapeutic effect? 

Adam provides great value on Twitter and on his blog – here you can listen to him in your favourite podcast setting. 

Adam shares his way of explaining neural pain to patients and that alone is worth the price. 

He also discusses his popular blogs on ‘5 Least Favourite Shoulder Rehab Exercises’ as well as ‘Top 5 Shoulder Rehab Exercises’. 

He argues that the key to managing some knee conditions is to manage load and he refers to Scott Dye’s classic ‘envelope of function’ concept. 

And we close by discussing a couple of  figures that have gained great traction in the Twittersphere. You might find them useful in your clinical practice. But it’s a risk on radio – I get that! Enjoy and comment via @BJSM_BMJ or on Facebook.

Over-diagnosis, over-treatment and industry influence. Surely not in sports medicine?

Ray Moynihan is an internationally renowned contributor in the battle to limit any inappropriate influence of pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and technology companies on good clinical practice. 

He shares his concerns about the role of drug/implant companies but also argues that clinicians may well be contributing to suboptimal care – almost subconsciously. This is relevant for conditions such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The issue of ‘preventive’ surgery to prevent future arthritis in currently pain-free hips is a massive issue in sports medicine of course. How do we know which patients need this treatment? 

Enjoy this podcast from a voice outside BJSM’s traditional network of physiotherapists, physicians, massage therapists, clinicians working with active people. 

When we planned the podcast, Ray Moynihan said he didn’t know about sport but I think you’ll agree that what he offers is hugely relevant to sport and exercise medicine. Thanks Ray! 

And the 2nd ‘Preventing Overdiagosis’ conference is at Oxford from September 15-17 – just google ‘overdiagnosis conference’. Share your thoughts to @BJSM_BMJ - is this a problem in sports medicine?
