“…For prevention all athletes should be evaluated with adequate history of irritable bowel disease or any gastrointestinal-related conditions; although prewarming increases the performance of athletes, excessive body heat can cause decreased performance. 53 de Oliveira et al 42 in their study recommended fluid intake with multiple transportable carbohydrates such as glucose and fructose rather than hydration with only glucose. Another nutritional preventive measure proposed by Lis et al 54 is to avoid fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs).…”

ObjectiveThe increasing incidence of sports injury among athletes calls for systemic surveillance of injuries and illnesses in this field to develop preventive measures. The patterns of injuries and illnesses that occurred among Korean athletes during the 2018 Asian Games held in Indonesia were studied.MethodsWe recorded the occurrence of all injuries and illnesses reported to the chief medical officer, coordinated with the help of an instant social messaging application in real time.ResultsA total of 782 elite athletes participated in 46 sporting events. A total of 141 (18.03%) injuries were recorded, with 121 (15.47%) athletes suffering at least one injury. Out of 141 injuries 80 (56.74%) were in male athletes and 61 (43.26%) were in female athletes. The highest number of injuries was seen among sport climbing athletes (n=10, 71.43%), followed by sepak takraw. A total of 16 (11.35%) injuries were expected to prevent athletes from participation in competition/training. Most of the injuries occurred during training (46.10%), with lower lumbar spine being the most common part injured. A total of 209 (26.72%) illnesses were reported, with at least one illness in 170 (21.73%) athletes. The incidence among female athletes (26.90%) was comparable with that of male athletes (26.90%). Maximum illness rate was reported in table tennis (100%). The most common system involved was gastrointestinal (n=93, 44.49%), followed by respiratory (n=53, 25.36%). Environmental factors were causative in 111 athletes (53.11%) and infection in 79 (37.79%). Illnesses resulted in loss of at least 1 day among 30 (14.35%) athletes.ConclusionOverall 15.47% of athletes suffered at least one injury and 21.73% suffered at least one illness; the incidence of injury and illness varied depending on the type of sports.

“…An abdominal assessment can be brief in the absence of a significant history of gastrointestinal ( 103 – 106 ) or nephrological diseases ( 81 , 107 – 109 ). Splenic enlargement and history of recent infectious mononucleosis (Epstein–Barr virus infection) are temporary contraindications to sports because splenic rupture is a risk ( 110 ).…”

Sport activities for children and adolescents: the Position of the European Academy of Paediatrics and the European Confederation of Primary Care Paediatricians 2023—Part 1. Pre-participation physical evaluation in young athletes

The European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) and the European Confederation of Primary Care Paediatricians (ECPCP) emphasize the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles within the pediatric population. Many health professionals have questions concerning adequate levels of physical activity for both the healthy pediatric population and for those who may have specific complications. Unfortunately, the academic literature that provides recommendations for participation in sport activities within the pediatric population that have been published during the last decade in Europe is limited and is mainly dedicated to specific illnesses or advanced athletes and not toward the general population. The aim of part 1 of the EAP and ECPCP position statement is to assist healthcare professionals in implementing the best management strategies for a pre-participation evaluation (PPE) for participation in sports for individual children and adolescents. In the absence of a uniform protocol, it is necessary to respect physician autonomy for choosing and implementing the most appropriate and familiar PPE screening strategy and to discuss the decisions made with young athletes and their families. This first part of the Position Statement concerning Sport Activities for Children and Adolescents is dedicated to healthy young athletes.

“…The correct location of the pain corresponds to the area in the tract. 14,15 While Crohn's disease can cause pain along the tract, ulcerative colitis typically localizes it to the lower abdomen. Chronic diarrhea that is often bloody is a feature of IBD, prevalent in Ulcerative colitis cases.…”

The persistent inflammation during inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can severely harm the GI tract. There are several symptoms of IBD, which produce discomfort, frequent bowel movements, blood in stools, loss of weight, and tiredness, which have an impact on the lives of patients and their nutritional health. Managing IBD involves paying attention to diet and nutrition. It is important to identify trigger foods for each individual using methods like keeping food diaries or following plans recommended by dietitians that are low in residue or FODMAPs. Nutritional deficiencies, common in IBD, require attention to prevent malnutrition, muscle wasting, and complications. Having a proper dietary plan and accounting for disease characteristics and patient preferences is essential. Also, medication interactions are important during dietary monitoring. Dehydration, affecting many IBD patients, underscores the importance of maintaining fluid intake. An approach to managing IBD requires teamwork among healthcare professionals, dietitians, and patients. It involves customizing plans and combining them with medical treatments to achieve the best possible control over the disease.
