“…At present, sports medicine is of particular importance in the regular medical-biological support of people engaged in physical exercise and sports[ 30 - 33 ]. The main tasks of sports physicians and physical education specialists are a reasonable choice of sports activities, timely correction of training load, and prevention of injuries and posttraumatic conditions[ 34 - 37 ]. The optimal physical activity program is individually designed for each person and primarily depends on their initial health state.…”

BACKGROUND Optimal physical activity is known to reduce cardiovascular, respiratory and endocrine system diseases and, as a consequence, improve quality of life. An important risk factor for reinjuries during normal exercise is the initial connective tissue pathology. The variety of clinical dysplastic manifestations significantly complicate the timely diagnosis of this comorbidity. AIM To establish pathognomonic sex-specific dysplasia phenotypes that indicate a particular sensitivity to physical exertion. METHODS The study involved 117 participants with recurrent musculoskeletal injuries that occurred during normal exercise. There were 67 women (57.26%) and 50 men (42.74%), which made it possible to compare the presence of the identified signs between sexes. A validated questionnaire was used to screen their connective tissue status. RESULTS Ranking the most commonly revealed dysplasia signs depending on their clinical significance made it possible to establish pathognomonic sex-specific phenotypes that indicated a particular susceptibility to injuries. Individualized programs of optimal physical activity are necessary for men with chest deformities, flat-valgus feet, dolichostenomelia, arachnodactylia, hemorrhoids, abdominal muscle diastasis and recurrent hernias. In women, special sensitivity to physical exertion was associated with a combination of signs such as asthenic body, joint hypermobility, overly soft auricles, thin hyperelastic skin, atrophic striae, telangiectasias and varicose veins. Of particular importance were universal signs such as gothic palate, scoliosis, kyphosis, leg deformities, temporomandibular joint crunching, and moderate to high myopia. CONCLUSION Participants’ connective tissue condition should be considered when designing optimal physical activity programs. Identifying the established sex-specific dysplasia phenotypes will allow timely optimization of training loads, thus reducing the risk of injury.

“…Country-specific initiatives such as the UK-based Moving Medicine, and Italy’s preparticipation screening scheme, provide a framework to deliver safe activity-based healthcare, but a comprehensive internationally recognised education programme is yet to be established 8. Standardisation of SEM education could support the WHO global action plan on physical activity, which calls for more SEM clinicians, although care must be taken to ensure that any global curricula is adaptable to both high and low resource healthcare systems.…”

“…Sports and exercise medicine specialists should be the best qualified to prescribe PA for disease prevention and treatment. However, in terms of specialisation, sports and exercise science/medicine is not part of the training of medical specialists in most countries 71. These deficiencies should be addressed, and the goal should be for every medical professional to be able to use PA as a therapy in their respective clinical settings.…”

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dementia, depression and cancers, are on the rise worldwide and are often associated with a lack of physical activity (PA). Globally, the levels of PA among individuals are below WHO recommendations. A lack of PA can increase morbidity and mortality, worsen the quality of life and increase the economic burden on individuals and society. In response to this trend, numerous organisations came together under one umbrella in Hamburg, Germany, in April 2021 and signed the ‘Hamburg Declaration’. This represented an international commitment to take all necessary actions to increase PA and improve the health of individuals to entire communities. Individuals and organisations are working together as the ‘Global Alliance for the Promotion of Physical Activity’ to drive long-term individual and population-wide behaviour change by collaborating with all stakeholders in the community: active hospitals, physical activity specialists, community services and healthcare providers, all achieving sustainable health goals for their patients/clients. The ‘Hamburg Declaration’ calls on national and international policymakers to take concrete action to promote daily PA and exercise at a population level and in healthcare settings.
