“…It was reported that adolescents who participated in a longer duration of leisure sports reported more knee symptoms [20]. Physically active adolescents were also found to have more disabling knee symptoms than physically inactive counterparts [6].…”

“…Of various collegiate sports injuries, over one-third of them are related to the knee, rendering it to be the most commonly injured body part among undergraduates [5]. Since longer physical activity duration is related to more disabling knee pain among adolescents, [6] it is conceivable that a similar phenomenon may occur in undergraduates. Unfortunately, the relationship between sports participation and knee symptoms among undergraduates remains unclear because prior relevant research mainly focused on children/adolescents [7].…”

“…Additionally, since previous studies only focused on the patterns of knee pain among elite athletes or used a broad term "physical activities" to investigate the relation between various sports activities and musculoskeletal pain, [6,14] their findings cannot be generalized to a wider population nor be used to determine the effects of different sports activities on knee pain. Without relevant information, it is difficult to develop effective prevention strategies for young non-elite athletes.…”

Background: While a number of studies have investigated knee symptoms among elite athletes, few have directly compared the association between engagement in different sports and knee symptoms among young adults in the general population. The current study aimed to investigate the relation between sports participation hours, type/ number of sports engaged, self-rated competitiveness and knee symptoms among undergraduates. Methods: Undergraduates were invited to participate in a self-administered online survey through invitation emails. Respondents were instructed to provide demographic information (e.g., age, gender, sports participation hours, types of engaged sports, self-rated competitiveness in sports and anxiety level etc.) and to report knee symptoms (current, the last 7 days, the last 12 months, and lifetime). Multiple logistic regressions were conducted to investigate the association between sports participation and current knee symptoms. Results: Of 17,552 invitees, 3744 responded to the survey. Valid data from 3053 respondents was used for analysis. Forty-four percent of the respondents engaged in sports regularly (≥once per week). Running, cross-training and swimming were the most frequently participated sports among the respondents. The current prevalence rate of knee symptoms was 6.4%. Hours spent participating in combat sports, soccer, yoga, and basketball participation hours were significantly associated with current knee symptoms. Respondents who rated themselves as "competitive" demonstrated a higher risk of having current knee symptoms than "recreational" players. Number of engaged sports was not associated with current knee symptoms among undergraduates. Conclusions: Certain sports types were associated with current knee symptoms. Compared to self-rated "recreational" players, self-rated "competitive" players were more likely to have current knee symptoms. Students should take preventive measures to minimize their risk of developing knee symptoms, especially when participating in combat sports, soccer, yoga, and basketball, or engaging in sports at a highly competitive level.

“…The incidence of ACL rupture is not clearly reported, but it is estimated to affect between 30 and 78 per 100,000 people; reconstruction interventions are reported to be around 50-70% of the injured population [17,18]. Knee pain is usually attributed to degenerative changes in the knee joint [19][20][21], such as knee osteoarthritis (OA), which is an age-related disease and is considered one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders worldwide [22]. However, knee OA is not limited to the elderly population; it can develop following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury [23], commonly found amongst athletes.…”

Dual-task paradigms have been increasingly used to assess the interaction between cognitive demands and the control of balance and gait. The interaction between functional and cognitive demands can alter movement patterns and increase knee instability in individuals with knee conditions, such as knee anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury or osteoarthritis (OA). However, there is no consensus on the effects of dual-task on gait mechanics and balance in those individuals. This systematic scoping review aims to examine the impact of dual-task gait and standing balance on motor and cognitive performance in individuals with knee OA or ACL injury. A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE electronic databases up until December 2019 was carried out. Inclusion criteria was limited to include dual-task studies that combined cognitive tasks performed simultaneously with gait or standing balance in individuals with knee OA or ACL injuries. In total, fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria, nine articles examined dual-task effects on balance, and six articles reported the effects of dual-task on gait. The total number of individuals included was 230 individuals with ACL injuries, and 168 individuals with knee OA. A decline in gait and balance performance during dual-task testing is present among individuals with ACL injury and/or ACL reconstruction and knee OA. Further research is required, but dual taking assessment could potentially be used to identify individuals at risk of falling or further injury and could be used to develop targeted rehabilitation protocols. A variety of outcome measures have been used across the studies included, making comparisons difficult. The authors, therefore, recommend developing a standardized set of biomechanical balance variables.
