Gene variants previously associated with reduced soft-tissue injury risk: Part 2 – Polygenic associations with elite status in Rugby
(2022-12-26)
Part 1 of this genetic association series highlighted several genetic variants independently associated with elite status in rugby. However, it is highly likely that the genetic influence on elite status is polygenic due ...
Ultra-endurance Participation and Acute Kidney Injury: A Narrative Review
(2022-12-15)
Increasingly popular, ultra-endurance participation exposes athletes to extremely high levels of functional and structural damage. Ultra-endurance athletes commonly develop acute kidney in-jury (AKI) and other pathologies ...
Concussion-Associated Polygenic Profiles of Elite Male Rugby Athletes
(2022-05-04)
Due to the high-velocity collision-based nature of elite rugby league and union, the risk of sustaining a concussion is high. Occurrence of and outcomes following a concussion are probably affected by the interaction of ...
Magnitude or Direction? Seasonal Variation of Inter-limb Asymmetry in Elite Academy Soccer Players
(2022-04-30)
Previous research has highlighted a distinct lack of longitudinal data for asymmetry. The aims of the present study were to provide seasonal variation data for the magnitude and direction of asymmetry. Eighteen elite male ...
Nutritional and Non-nutritional Strategies in Bodybuilding: Impact on Kidney Function
(2022-04-03)
Bodybuilders routinely engage in many dietary and other practices purported to be harmful to kidney health. The development of acute kidney injury, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) and nephrocalcinosis may be ...
Gene Variants Previously Associated with Reduced Soft Tissue Injury Risk: Part 1 – Independent Associations with Elite Status in Rugby
(2022-03-29)
There is growing evidence of genetic contributions to tendon and ligament pathologies. Given the high incidence and severity of tendon and ligament injuries in elite rugby, we studied whether 13 gene polymorphisms previously ...
