Join This Pediatric Overuse Injuries Webinar
from
NATA
Share
Tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. (Eastern), Tamara McLeod, PhD, ATC, CSCS will deliver a webinar on "Pediatric Sports Overuse Injuries." Recent statistics suggest that
50 million U.S. kids ages 5-18 are participating in organized sports. While the numbers are encouraging in the wake of a youth obesity epidemic, they correlate with a high rate of overuse injury - particularly in today's ultra-competitive environment of early sports specialization and lengthier practice and game seasons.

Sudden Cardiac Death Can Strike Young
from
Palm Beach Post
Share
Terry Salina is frustrated that information about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which claimed the life of her 13-year-old
daughter, isn't more widespread. It's been 21 years since Loyola Marymount University basketball star Hank Gathers became an unwitting poster child for the disease after he collapsed and died during a game. It rocketed back into the news earlier this year when Michigan high school basketball player Wes Leonard collapsed and died minutes after shooting a game-winning point.

from
USA Today
Share
Older people who regularly exercise at moderate to intense levels may have a 40 percent lower risk of developing brain damage linked to ischemic strokes, certain kinds of dementia and mobility problems. New research published in the journal Neurology says the MRIs of people who exercised at higher levels were significantly less likely to show silent brain infarcts — caused by blocked
arteries that interrupt blood flow and are markers for strokes — than people who exercised lightly.

"The answer," said Dr. Stuart J. Warden, an associate professor of physical therapy at Indiana University,
"is that it probably does both."

More Money Needed for Migraine Research, Say Headache
Experts
from
Orlando Sentinel
Share
Migraines affect more Americans than diabetes and asthma combined, but funding for migraine research is low. Without an infusion of research dollars, researchers say, it will be hard to conquer migraines. Migraine specialists attending the American Headache Society meeting in Washington said they believe more government money for migraine research holds the most promise for winning the
battle against the disease.
