Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...

Specializing When It Counts: Comparing the Dose–Time Effect of Distance Variety between Swimming and Track Running

Sports
Objective: To conduct a longitudinal retrospective analysis, explore the relationship between success at peak performance age and the number of different race distances athletes competed in each year (within-sport distance variety), and compare the dose ...

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

An athlete’s long term development “the integral preparation of the developing player”

ITF Coaching & Sport Science Review, 2015
Tennis is a sport that requires the combination of general and specific skills. Traditionally, when talking about the preparation of an athlete, one usually refers to his physical preparation giving an added value to the preparation of the “body or the physical aspect”.

THE EARLY SPECIALIZATIONREQUIRING SPORT OF GYMNASTICS AND LONG-TERM ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

The Online Journal of Recreation and Sport, 2020
Today, long-term athlete development programs are used as an alternative to traditional athlete training programs. They aim to make sport as a lifestyle, rather than compressing athlete development into a short period of time. In long-term athlete development programs, all processes are planned on the basis of the biological development periods of the ...

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

Endoscopic Proximal Hamstring Repairs Remain Safe and Beneficial With High Patient Satisfaction at a Minimum of 6‐Year Follow‐Up

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate midterm outcomes of endoscopic proximal hamstring repair in a previously established cohort. Methods A retrospective study design was used for a midterm (minimum 6 years) follow‐up time. Patients completed the questionnaires over the phone or electronically on REDCap after consent. The questionnaires included the modified Harris Hip

Formed on Ice: A Qualitative Study of Motivation, Pressure, and Identity in Early Ice Hockey Specialization

Sports
While much of the current research on early specialization focuses on physical outcomes, training models, and policy implications, little is known about how athletes themselves make sense of their developmental experiences. This study aims to examine how

Editorial Commentary: Retaining Its Clinical Importance: Open Bankart Repair With Inferior Capsular Shift in Collision and Contact Athletes With Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability Retains Its Clinical Importance—But Will It Also Endure in the Future?

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Recurrent anterior shoulder instability (RASI) is frequently seen especially in young collision and contact athletes. The glenohumeral joint stability is often compromised by associated Hill‐Sachs and Bankart lesions. In young and active patients with high risk of recurrence or failed nonoperative therapy a surgical treatment is indicated to stabilize ...
