“…Analysis of their results and comparison with the control group revealed that participation in the NT program could lead to QoL enhancement in young healthy participants. These results also concur with the findings reported in extant literature focusing on the link between PA and QoL in the general population ( Stracciolini et al, 2020 ; Su et al, 2021 ) and specifically during COVID-19 ( Slimani et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Low-intensity jogging, cycling, aerobic exercises, swimming, walking, and dancing have been shown to diminish depression and anxiety symptoms ( Guszkowska, 2004 ). Stracciolini et al (2020) and Su et al (2021) similarly noted that participation in different sports activities can improve mental health and anxiety QoL scores. Moreover, findings from Slimani et al (2020) study yielded that low-intensity PA can also help minimize the negative psychological effects of isolation.…”

Effect of Neuromuscular Training Program on Quality of Life After COVID-19 Lockdown Among Young Healthy Participants: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Study in the period of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown and the effect of different exercise training programs on the quality of life (QoL) dimension are limited. This randomized control study as a part of which the impact of an 8-week neuromuscular training program on the 90 healthy young individuals’ QoL after COVID-19 lockdown was assessed using a short form of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire comprising of four domains (physical health, psychological health, social relations, and the environment). The intervention group (NT) (n = 47) took part in a neuromuscular training program consisting of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization and whole-body vibration training. In contrast, the control group (CG) (n = 43) did not participate in any programmed physical activity. From pre- to post-intervention test, the NT group significantly and substantially improved [mean change (95% CI)] all the QoL domains, physical for 12.78 scores (8.89, 16.64), psychological for 13.12 scores (9.51, 16.74), social relationships for 20.57 scores (16.12, 25.02), and environmental for 24.40 scores (21.45, 27.35). These results suggest that the NT program could enhance QoL in young and healthy participants following COVID-19 lockdown.

“…Compared to male counterparts within the same sport, it has been well established that female athletes are two to eight times more likely to sustain an ACL injury [14][15][16]. With the increase in participation in youth athletics as well as expansion of women's collegiate and professional programs over the last few decades [17], it has become increasingly important to better understand potential mechanisms underlying the gender difference in injury rates.…”

Purpose of Review Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common injury that has important clinical and economic implications. We aimed to review the literature to identify gender, racial and ethnic disparities in incidence, treatment, and outcomes of ACL injury. Recent Findings Females are at increased risk for ACL injury compared to males. Intrinsic differences such as increased quadriceps angle and increased posterior tibial slope may be contributing factors. Despite lower rates of injury, males undergo ACL reconstruction (ACLR) more frequently. There is conflicting evidence regarding gender differences in graft failure and ACL revision rates, but males demonstrate higher return to sport (RTS) rates. Females report worse functional outcome scores and have worse biomechanical metrics following ACLR. Direct evidence of racial and ethnic disparities is limited, but present. White athletes have greater risk of ACL injury compared to Black athletes. Non-White and Spanish-speaking patients are less likely to undergo ACLR after ACL tear. Black and Hispanic youth have greater surgical delay to ACLR, increased risk for loss to clinical follow-up, and less physical therapy sessions, thereby leading to greater deficits in knee extensor strength during rehabilitation. Hispanic and Black patients also have greater risk for hospital admission after ACLR, though this disparity is improving. Summary Females have higher rates of ACL injury with inconclusive evidence on anatomic predisposition and ACL failure rate differences between genders. Recent literature has suggested inferior RTS and functional outcomes following ACLR in females. Though there is limited and mixed data on incidence and outcome differences between races and ethnic groups, recent studies suggest there may be disparities in those who undergo ACLR and time to treatment.

“…There are some encouraging signs for more balanced coverage (C. Cooper, 2008;B. D. Cooper & Cooper, 2009;Cunningham & Sagas, 2002;Cunningham et al, 2004;Degener, 2018;Johnson et al, 2022;Petty & Pope, 2019;Scheadler & Wagstaff, 2018;Sherwood et al, 2017;Stracciolini et al, 2020). The latest studies show that the recent Olympic Games generally offer gender balanced coverage on telecasts, digital publications and social media (Angelini et al, 2015;A.…”

Under the federally mandated Title IX, NCAA athletic departments are directed to offer balanced promotional and informational coverage between men’s and women’s sports. This study examines how gender is represented in photographs on the Instagram accounts of prominent NCAA athletic departments. Findings indicate mixed results: female athletes, when showcased, receive similar promotional efforts to their male peers; their athleticism is highlighted; and fan engagement metrics are as high as male sports. However, female athletic achievements are overwhelmingly underrepresented, suggesting equality is still deficient.

Female Sport Participation Effect on Long-Term Health-Related Quality of Life

Abstract: Sports participation for female collegiate athletes was associated with mostly positive health outcomes, but also with lower mobility and increased anxiety QoL scores.
