“…When it comes to the diagnostic tests, there are varying approaches, depending mostly on the population screened. Mass screenings in high schools and colleges most often do not comprise routine diagnostic tests, but in some places an ECG is included [39,72,75,79,88]. Suspect cases are referred to specialists for further investigations.…”

Objectives This study reports on sudden cardiac death (SCD) in sport in the literature and aims at achieving a generally acceptable preparticipation screening protocol (PPSP) endorsed by the consensus meeting of the International Olympie Committee (IOC). Background The sudden death of athletes under 35 years engaged in competitive sports is a well-known occurrence; the incidence is higher in athletes ( ~ 2/1OO000 per year) than in non-athletes (2.5: 1 ), and the cause is cardiovascular in over 90%.Methods A systematic review of the literature identified causes of SCD, sex, age, underlying cardiac disease and the type of sport and PPSP in use. Methods necessary to detect pre-existing cardiac abnormalities are discussed to formulate a PPSP for the Medical Commission of the IOC.Results SCD occurred in 1101 (1966-2004) reported cases in athletes under 35 years, 50% had congenital anatomical heart disease and cardiomyopathies and 10% had early-onset atherosclerotic heart disease. Forty percent occurred in athletes un der 18 years, 33% under 16 years; the female/male ratio was 1 /9. SCD was reported in almost ail sports; most frequently involved were soccer (30%), basketball (25%) and running (15%). The PPSP were of varying quality and content. The IOC consensus meeting accepted the proposed Lausanne Recommendations based on this research and expert opinions (http://multimedia.olympic.org/pdf/en_report_886.pdf). Conclusion SCD occurs more frequently in young athletes, even those under the age of 18 years, than expected and is predominantly caused by pre-existing congenital cardiac abnormalities. Premature atherosclerotic disease forms another important cause in these young adults. A generally acceptable PPSP has been achieved by the IOC's acceptance of the Lausanne Recommendations.

“…39,82,83 However, high-intensity exercise might discourage the elderly population, 84 or those who dislike running and sweating from doing exercise regularly. 85 Researchers suggest that a moderate exercise regimen can improve heart functions 86 and bring a similar mood elevation as observed with athletes during vigorous exercise.…”

Biopsychosocial Effects ofQigongas a Mindful Exercise for People with Anxiety Disorders: A Speculative Review

In view of the inadequacies of mainstream treatments for anxiety disorders, we suggest that qigong, an ancient oriental mindful exercise, may be a useful adjunctive treatment. We base this on a biopsychosocial model for health. Evidence suggests that the benefits of exercise on personal well-being can be explained using six theories: cognitive behaviour; distraction; social interaction; cardiovascular fitness; amine; and endorphin theories. To date, not much has been done to employ these theories to analyze the benefits of mindful exercises. We try here to reorganize these theories into psychosocial and physiologic perspectives and integrate them with the "mind regulation," "body regulation," and "breath regulation" components of qigong. We propose, because of its potential therapeutic effects, that qigong can be considered as an alternative therapy to help meet the increasing demand of nonpharmacologic modalities in achieving biopsychosocial health for those suffering from anxiety in the general population.
