“…Despite these recommendation, in PubMed there were actually only 10 papers about the CrossFit program. Of these, 3 are case reports of very important injury during or after CrossFit Training, such as retinal detachment 7 , rhabdomyolisis 8 , and cervical internal carotid artery dissection 9 . The relevance of these observation are very questionable and an epidemiological study seems to suggest that the incidence of injury in the CrossFit is similar with other sports 1 .…”

SummaryBackground: even if CrossFit training programs accounted actually more than 7500 gyms affiliated in the USA and more than 2000 in Europe and involved today more than 1 million of people, actually there were not several studies about the effect of the CrossFit on the health and sport performance. The aim of these research was to evaluate the performance in 7 fundamental movement patterns using a standardized methods, the Functional Movement Screen (FMS). Methods: we enrolled three groups of athletes (age 17-40 years; >6 months of training programs): CrossFitters, body builders and professional weightlifters. FMS test was performed to all people enrolled. Scores of FMS test was examined comparing three groups. Results: no differences in the three groups were showed in the mean score values of each test and in total score, except for shoulder mobility test (higher among CrossFitters) and trunk stability push-up test (higher among weightlifter). Agreement between the test performed on the two sides was higher in CrossFit groups for hurdle step (93.2%), in line lung (86%), rotary stability test (95.3%) and shoulder mobility (90.7%; p<0.001). Conclusions: CrossFitters seem to have a high level of concordance in the scores achieved in bilateral test. CrossFit seems to produce marked symmetry in some fundamental movements compared to weightlifting and bodybuilding.

“…Cerebral edema will exacerbate the venous obstruction leading to a vicious cycle of edema and further cerebral venous obstruction. 6 Cerebral venous thrombosis commonly affects younger age group contrary to arterial stroke. In our study, majority of the cases were seen from 21-50 years of age with a peak incidence at 4 th decade.…”

Inclusion Criteria All patients with Cerebral venous sinus/Cortical vein thrombosis confirmed by MRI. Exclusion Criteria Patients with normal Dural Sinuses/Cortical veins on MRI. Patients with MRI Incompatible Devices such as Cochlear Implants, Cardiac Pacemaker etc. Claustrophobic Patients. Proper Consent to include in the study was obtained from all the patients. The study was conducted after considering and following all the factors of Declaration of Helsinki. RESULTS Wide range of age groups were affected by cerebral venous thrombosis in our study from 2 nd decade to 7 th decade in A B S T R A C T Introduction: Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT) is relatively a rare cause of stroke which is potentially treatable without any permanent neurological deficit if diagnosed early in time. The objective of this study was to describe the etiologies, clinical features and the importance of MRI in diagnosis and prognosis of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis. Material and Methods: This was a prospective study done in 50 consecutive patients diagnosed with cerebral venous thrombosis on MRI in Meenakshi Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Kanchipuram between April 2016 and March 2018. Detailed history, proper clinical examination and necessary laboratory investigations were done in all the cases. Results: Among 50 patients, most of the cases were seen in 21-50 years of age comprising 92%. The most common presenting symptom was headache(82%) followed by Vomiting(52%), altered sensorium(44%) and seizures(42%). Superior sagittal sinus is the commonest one involved in our study. MRI is helpful to assess the prognosis. Venous infarct is seen in 48% of the cases and diffusion restriction is seen only in 8% of cases. Conclusion: Clinical presentation of Cerebral venous thrombosis(CVT) is vague and high degree of clinical suspicion should be there in young patients presenting with headache, seizures or papilledema. MRI plays a very vital role in the diagnosis and prognosis. Heparin, anticoagulants, antiepileptics and symptomatic treatment play the key role in management. Cerebral venous Thrombosis has very good prognosis provided early diagnosis is made and proper treatment started in time.

CrossFit seems to produce marked symmetry in some fundamental movements compared to weightlifting and bodybuilding.
