“…Large sporting events potentially increase the occurrence of cardiovascular events 9 – 11 , 13 as well as related mortality 12 – 14 , but the results are not consistent across studies 15 – 17 . Soccer is the most popular sport in Germany and more than 34.5 million people watched the German victory on television at the FIFA WC 2014 in Brazil.…”

“…Carroll et al reported that the risk of admission due to MI was increased by 25% in England on the day England lost to Argentina in a penalty shoot-out and the following 2 days of the FIFA WC 1998 10 . In contrast, Gebhard et al reported higher MI rates after victories of the Montreal Ice Hockey team 11 . Since the German team was not defeated at the FIFA WC 2014 and won the championship, we were not able to distinguish between match days with defeats and wins.…”

“…Mental stress according to tension, sadness, frustration and anxiety increases the risk of myocardial ischemia 18 , 24 . Although large sporting events are substantially less dramatic events than environmental catastrophes 1 – 5 , 7 – 12 , studies have shown that these events could also affect the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases 9 – 11 , 13 , 17 as well as related mortality 12 – 14 .…”

“…Nevertheless, the association between important soccer events and acute cardiovascular illnesses remains controversial. Although a few studies support the hypothesis that large sporting events may induce higher rates of cardiovascular events 9 – 11 , 13 as well as higher short-term mortality 12 – 14 , other studies failed to confirm these findings 15 – 17 .…”

Environmental stress like important soccer events can induce excitation, stress and anger. We aimed to investigate (i) whether the FIFA soccer world cup (WC) 2014 and (ii) whether the soccer games of the German national team had an impact on total numbers and in-hospital mortality of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) in Germany. We analyzed data of MI inpatients of the German nationwide inpatient sample (2013–2015). Patients admitted due to MI during FIFA WC 2014 (12th June–13th July2014) were compared to those during the same period 2013 and 2015 (12th June–13th July). Total number of MI patients was higher during WC 2014 than in the comparison-period 2013 (18,479 vs.18,089, P < 0.001) and 2015 (18,479 vs.17,794, P < 0.001). WC was independently associated with higher MI numbers (2014 vs. 2013: OR 1.04 [95% CI 1.01–1.07]; 2014 vs. 2015: OR 1.07 [95% CI 1.04–1.10], P < 0.001). Patient characteristics and in-hospital mortality rate (8.3% vs. 8.3% vs. 8.4%) were similar during periods. In-hospital mortality rate was not affected by games of the German national team (8.9% vs. 8.1%, P = 0.110). However, we observed an increase regarding in-hospital mortality from 7.9 to 9.3% before to 12.0% at final-match-day. Number of hospital admissions due to MI in Germany was 3.7% higher during WC 2014 than during the same 31-day period 2015. While in-hospital mortality was not affected by the WC, the in-hospital mortality was highest at WC final.

“…Navarro et al [19] examined the effects of concussions on individual players in the National Hockey League (NHL) by assessing career length, performance and salary. Other authors used positional comparisons to assess the impact of fatigue on movement patterns in hockey [20], the utility of using visible signs (VS) of concussion in predicting a subsequent diagnosis of concussion in players [21] and other aspects of the NHL, especially in terms of health impacts on players [22,23].…”

The presented research focuses on the commonly used Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), which is applied to an evaluation of a basic set of 581 national hockey league (NHL) players in the 2018/2019 season. This is used in combination with a number of objective methods for weighting indicators for identifying differences in their usage. A total of 11 indicators with their own testimonial values, including points, hits, blocked shots and more, are selected for this purpose. The selection of a method for weighting indicators has a major influence on the results obtained and the differences between them, and maintains the internal links within the ranked set of players. Of the evaluated methods, we prefer the Mean Weight method, and we recommend that the input indicators be considered equivalent when evaluating athletes.
