Background and Objective Motor performance during childhood and adolescence is recognized as a relevant determinant of present and future health, but its effects on back pain (BP) remain unclear. In this systematic review, we aimed to identify the association between motor performance and BP in children and adolescents. Databases and Data Treatment A literature search was performed in the MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, SPORTDiscus and CINAHL databases. We included cross‐sectional, cohort, case‐control and controlled clinical trials (data from control groups). The inclusion criteria were as follows: (a) participants aged 6–19 years; (b) assessment motor performance components; (c) assessment of BP and (d) reported measures of association. The risk of bias was assessed by the Downs and Black instrument and the quality of evidence by the grading of recommendations, assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE). Results A total of 2360 articles were identified, 25 of which were included in our systematic review. Of the 25 studies, 19 were evaluated as having a low risk of bias. GRADE indicated that 20 studies presented low or very low quality. Most of the studies evaluated flexibility (n = 16), muscle endurance (n = 18) and muscle strength (n = 9). Aerobic capacity, balance and speed were also examined in some studies (n < 5). Overall, motor performance (flexibility, muscle endurance, muscle strength, aerobic capacity, balance and speed) was not associated with BP. Most of the results were inconsistent because of the lack of studies, risk of bias and low quality of evidence. Only trunk extensor muscle endurance was associated with decreased BP with moderate quality of the supporting evidence. Prospective studies with a low risk of bias are warranted to further clarify this relationship in childhood and adolescence and findings may support more targeted and effective health promotion interventions. Significance This systematic review shows that motor performance (flexibility, muscle endurance, muscle strength, aerobic capacity, balance and speed) was not associated with BP in children and adolescents. Most of the results were inconsistent because of the lack of studies, risk of bias and low quality of evidence. Only trunk extensor muscle endurance was associated with decreased BP with moderate quality of supporting evidence.

“…In this context, back pain will be defined as pain in the cervical, thoracic and/or lumbar areas. [20][21][22] Postural changes were considered to have been caused by scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis and more. This systematic review protocol will follow the PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and metaanalyses) methodology 23 and the MOOSE (meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology) Guidelines.…”

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders play an important role in athletes’ health and success in sports; they are the main contributors to disability, and back pain is a common problem in athletes. Back pain and spinal injuries occur in players because of the repetitive and unilateral body overload during sports practice. Reviews focused on musculoskeletal disorders in basketball players are scarce in the literature. We describe a systematic review protocol for assessing the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and the associated factors in basketball players. Methods and analysis: The protocol will be based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) items and articles will be searches in the databases EMBASE, PubMed, and Scopus. Studies will be included if they are written in English and without restriction regarding the search period. All research stages will be performed by two independent reviewers and will be conducted using Rayyan. Potential disagreements will be analyzed by a third reviewer. The inter-rater reliability will be determined through the Cohen's kappa coefficient. Evidence quality will be ascertained by using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) system, while the Downs and Black checklist will be used for assessing the risk of bias. A descriptive summary and presentation of the characteristics and findings of all included studies will be provided in a table. Regarding these data, if there are sufficient high-quality studies, we plan to perform a meta-analysis. Discussion: The obtained results might possibly relate back pain to postural changes in this population. In addition, the data will be compared based on gender and different age groups. It is expected that the results can support the implementation of programs and actions for prevention, ultimately aiming at improving health, quality of life, and sports performance.

Effects of ultra-processed food on cognition and learning of adolescents: a rapid systematic review

Overweight and obesity in adolescents are associated with high consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF). UPF are industrially manufactured foods that contain large amounts of calories, trans fats, sugars, sodium, and chemical additives. It is also associated with lower intake of vitamins, milk, fruits and vegetables. Through adolescence, good nutrition is essential during neurodevelopment for optimal brain health. However, the relationship between UPF and educational variables are not clear; therefore, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the effect of UPF on variables such as cognition and learning processes. So, our aim was to evaluate the effects of UPF on cognition and learning of adolescents through systematic review. Understanding these effects is important because it may provide information for public health and educational policies mainly targeted at schools to ensure a healthy food environment. The results from the study showed that no study had met our eligibility criteria; however, we considered it relevant to share the findings.
