Increased stiffness is evidenced in the deep but not superficial lumbar multifidus muscle in professional athletes with chronic low back pain

ObjectivesElevated lumbar multifidus stiffness has been observed in populations with chronic low back pain (LBP). However, the modulation of deep (DLM) and superficial (SLM) lumbar multifidus stiffness, considering their distinct structural characteristics and functions, remains unaddressed, especially in athletes. This study aimed to compare differences in DLM and SLM stiffness in professional athletes from different sports with and without chronic LBP. DesignCross-sectional study. SettingThis study was conducted at a provincial sports training centre. ParticipantsNinety-nine professional athletes (age: 18-27 years) from weightlifting, badminton, and track and field teams were recruited. Thirty-eight had chronic bilateral LBP. InterventionsNot applicable. Main Outcome MeasuresUltrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) measured Young's modulus (stiffness indicator) of DLM and SLM at the L4/5 facet joint level. Two-way analysis of variance examined the effects of chronic LBP and sport type on DLM and SLM stiffness while considering proper confounders. Significance was set at p < 0.05. ResultsAthletes with chronic LBP demonstrated significantly higher DLM stiffness on the dominant (by 17.73%, mean difference (MD) = 2.52kPa, p = 0.001) and non-dominant sides (by 13.54%, MD = 1.83kPa, p = 0.046) compared to pain-free counterparts. SLM stiffness varied significantly among the three athlete groups. Post-hoc analyses revealed greater SLM stiffness on the non-dominant side in weightlifters than in badminton players (by 51.76%, MD = 8.97kPa, p = 0.010) or track and field athletes (by 72.01%, MD = 11.01kPa, p = 0.008). ConclusionsChronic LBP and sport type significantly impact multifidus muscle stiffness, suggesting the need for targeted clinical assessments and reconditioning strategies focusing on DLM for chronic LBP and SLM for athletes in trunk extension-intensive sports.

Multivariate analysis of academic and sport performance among Indonesian university student-athletes

Research on student-athletes' academic performance reveals a complex interplay of factors. Interestingly, few studies have investigated the achievement of student-athletes in both academics and athletics, the two areas in which they are usually evaluated. In this study, we investigated the association between factors that may affect student athlete academic performance with their sports achievement. In this study, 166 students from 20 sport faculties universities within faculty of sports who had at least a provincial sports accomplishment were involved. The factors that were strongly connected with student-athletes' academic achievement were analyzed using a logistic regression analysis. According to this study, there is a considerable correlation between the academic achievement of student athletes, their gender and internet access. It has been found that academic achievement is strongly influenced by students' proficiency in establishing an internet connection significantly impacts their academic performance. In addition, gender makes a major contribution to the prediction of academic grades in student athletes in Indonesia. Athletes may be eligible for specialized academic programs that are intended to help them continue to improve in both their academic and athletic endeavors. As a result, Indonesian universities mandate the establishment of a mentorship center development organization to assist student-athletes. Curriculum modifications may also be implemented in response to the time allotted to students for academic and sports performance.

A study on the relationship and path between mental health and burnout of Chinese athletes.

This study aims to explore the relationship and influencing pathways between mental health indicators and athlete burnout among Chinese competitive athletes. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 501 elite Chinese athletes from several national and provincial sports teams. Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) was used to measure anxiety, Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ- 9) was used to measure depression, Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire (APSQ) was used to measure perceived stress, and Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) was used to measure burnout. The results were derived using reliability testing, descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and structural equation modeling. The following results were obtained: (a) the clinical detection rates of anxiety and depression in this sample were within normal levels, but the detection rate of perceived stress (78.64%) was relatively high; (b) all three mental health indicators were significantly correlated with athlete burnout; (c) in our model, there was a direct path with APSQ directly contributing to 69.95% of the variance in athlete burnout, and two indirect paths with APSQ exerting an indirect effect through depression or/and anxiety accounting for 30.05% of the variance. The findings revealed the psychological characteristics of Chinese competitive athletes and the direct and indirect effects of the APSQ on burnout. Future research should actively promote the international development and application of burnout assessment tools, conduct more comprehensive studies on athlete mental health monitoring, and intensify efforts in athlete education, treatment, and support services, as well as strategies for athlete's coping stress.
