“…A total of 1904 participants were included in the analysis. Seven studies used a mixed-sex cohort of participants [ 42 – 46 , 48 , 49 ], one used only males [ 50 ] and one used only females [ 47 ]. Three investigations used competitive level athletes [ 44 , 45 , 47 ], and six reported using novice or recreational runners [ 42 , 43 , 46 , 48 – 50 ].…”

“…Studies used a variety of exercise modalities as part of interventions. Most studies used a multi-modal activity approach within sessions, including jumping or plyometric exercises [ 43 , 45 – 47 ], multi-joint and single-joint strength exercises [ 42 , 44 , 47 , 49 ], exercises focused on the core or trunk musculature [ 44 , 46 , 47 , 49 ], balance or proprioception exercises [ 42 , 44 , 45 , 47 ], stretching or mobility exercises [ 44 , 47 , 50 ], and sprint/running or agility drills [ 46 , 47 , 50 ]. All studies mentioned that exercises were progressed in terms of complexity/difficulty and/or progressive overload was achieved via increases in volume or intensity of the exercises.…”

Background Endurance running is a popular sport and recreational activity yet is associated with a high prevalence of injury. Running related injuries (RRIs) are a leading cause of drop-out and represent a substantial financial burden to runners and healthcare services. There is clear evidence for the use of exercise-based injury prevention programs in games-based and youth sport settings, yet the research investigating the use of exercise to reduce injury risk in endurance runners has not been adequately reviewed recently. Objectives The aim of this review and meta-analysis was to systematically summarize the current research that has investigated the effect of exercise-based prevention programs and their state of supervision on the risk of RRIs in endurance runners. Methods Three databases were searched for relevant studies. Selection and review were completed by two independent reviewers using the following inclusion criteria: (1) study population used endurance running training for health, occupational, or performance outcome(s); (2) participants performed running as their main form of exercise (> 50% of their total training time); (3) study was a randomized controlled trial; (4) a non-running-based exercise intervention was used; (5) a running-only or placebo exercise control group was included; (6) injury rate or incidence was reported; (7) injuries were recorded prospectively alongside the exercise training. Two meta-analyses were conducted using random-effects models, one based on log risk ratio and one based on log incidence rate ratio. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool 2 was used to evaluate the quality of studies and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluations approach was employed to grade the certainty of evidence. Results A total of nine articles containing 1904 participants were included in analysis. Overall pooled results showed no significant differences between intervention and control groups in injury risk (z = − 1.60; p = 0.110) and injury rate (z = − 0.98; p = 0.329), while a post hoc analysis evaluating supervised interventions only showed that injury risk was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group (z = − 3.75, p < 0.001). Risk of bias assessment revealed that seven studies included in the analysis were of low quality. Conclusions Exercise-based interventions do not appear to reduce the risk and rate of running-related injuries. Supervision may be essential for exercise-based intervention programs to reduce risk of RRIs, possibly due to increased compliance. Studies with more robust designs that include supervised exercise interventions should be prioritized in the future. Trial Registry Clinical Trial Registration: PROSPERO CRD42021211274.

“… 7 Recent studies showed that core muscle group training cannot only effectively strengthen patient’s core muscles, but also improve balance, strength and coordination, stabilize the lumbar spine region, alleviate the degree of musculoskeletal pain and effectively reduce the frequency of pain recurrence. 8 , 9 ESWT has also been demonstrated to be an effective intervention for the treatment of patients with low back pain. 10 , 11 The combination of targeted core muscle training and shock wave therapy can further improve the overall curative effect.…”

Objective: To compare the rehabilitation effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and thermomagnetic therapy (TMT) in patients with low back pain (LBP). Methods: As a single-centre retrospective observational study, clinical data of patients with LBP who received rehabilitation treatment in our hospital from January 2020 to May 2021 were retrospectively collected. Based on the treatment mode, the patients were retrospectively divided into two groups: the control group (patients received core muscle training + TMT, n=51) and the observation group (patients received core muscle training + ESWT, n=56). The general data of the patients were collected and the groups were matched for age, gender and pain duration. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score of pain, improvement of limb function, β-endorphin (β-EP), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and nitric oxide (NO) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: The VAS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group at one, two weeks and one month after the treatment (P<0.05). After the treatment, the proportion of mild limb dysfunction in the observation group was 57.14% (32/56), which was higher than 35.29% (1 /51) in the control group. The proportion of patients with severe and obvious disorders was 0 and 5.36% (3/56), respectively, which was lower than 11.76% (6/51) and 5.88% (3/51) in the control group (P<0.05). After the treatment, levels of NO and PGE2 in the observation group were lower, and the level of β-EP was significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: A combination of core muscle training and ESWT can effectively improve the analgesic effect of the treatment and promote greater improvement of limb function in patients with LBP. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.39.1.6668 How to cite this: Wu T, Wang D, Zhang X, Li J, Yuan B.
