It is now recognized that psychological variables influence the treatment adherence, the athlete’s rehabilitation and return to sport. Among the influencing factors, several elements specific to the athlete and the situation are decisive, but it is above all the attitude and the evaluation of one’s own injury situation that will influence the way in which the athlete will engage in the healing process. The role of the sport psychologist and his or her tools are described through two concrete cases to illustrate two different stages of intervention after an injury occurs: before surgery and during rehabilitation and return to sport. Different techniques are presented (mind-body techniques, mental imagery, mindfulness meditation, goal setting etc.) to illustrate how a sport psychologist works with athletes. Finally, the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between all health professionals and the athlete’s entourage is emphasized in order to ensure holistic and adequate management of the athlete.

Prevention Of Cardiovascular Disease

In Slovenia, the role of general practitioners in counselling physical activity for prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well recognized. The role of general practitioners in advising healthy lifestyle for individuals who are at risk of developing CVD is formally defined in the National Program for Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, which has been running since 2001. Part of the program is counselling on healthy lifestyle including physical activity, performed in all health centres across the country. First a screening and medical examination is performed. In case of higher risk for CVD (>20%) the physician should give advice on the particular risk factor and direct patients to health-education centres, where they can participate in healthy lifestyle workshops lead by health professionals. Physicians and other health professionals who are involved in the implementation of prevention activities within the program need knowledge and skills that are crucial for successful counselling on healthy lifestyle. The educational program “basic education in health promotion and prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases in primary health care/family medicine” consists of two parts. The first part of the training is open to all health professionals working within the program. The second part is intended for health professionals working in health-education workshops. In the last few years a new family practice model has been introduced and disseminated. Some duties of the family physician, including health promotion and counselling, are being transferred to graduate nurses who become part of the family practice team. This new division of work undoubtedly brings many advantages, both in terms of the work organization, and of high-quality patient care. Nevertheless preventive action cannot be fully passed on to graduate nurses. Careful planning and education are needed to ensure a comprehensive approach in healthy life style counselling.

The games play a special role in rehabilitation practice. The positive emotions they cause in patients cannot be achieved by other methods and means of modern rehabilitation. The role of game playing activity in practice is crucial to the achievement of one of the important tasks in implementing rehabilitation measures, namely to evacuate the patient from the depressed mental state, to distract him from the disease process and to focus on mobilizing his healing powers. The mood, the emotional charge and the dynamics that the games create are particularly suited to awakening the patient's interest in the healing process, their attraction and their active involvement in the rehabilitation activities. The connection between the actions in the game and the movements in the analytical exercises accelerates the formation of motor habits, physical qualities and skills not only in children but also in adult patients with various pathological injuries. Rehabilitation games are suitable for all ages by enhancing the health of the occupants, developing their mental qualities, improving the activity of the vestibular, visual and motor analyzers. The basis of the motor movement training game methodology and the improvement of motor movement skills is the activation of the thought processes and emotional experiences, the development of the functions of the musculoskeletal system, the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system.

AbstractResearch on esports activity usually captures it from the perspective of involvement in gaming. This study presents the results of the first research in Poland (N = 438) on esports betting (ESB). ESB is compared to other forms of e-gambling and involvement in pay-to-win games. The aim was to build a predictive model of gambling disorder among people betting on esports. A predictive model of gambling disorder based on ordinal regression was built, including sociodemographic variables, involvement in esports betting, involvement in other Internet activities connected to ESB, as well as psychological variables—motivation to gamble and coping strategies. The results showed that gambling disorder among esports bettors is associated with time spent on one game session, placing other forms of online gambling bets once a week or more often, and paying in pay-to-win games. Gambling disorder was also predicted by escape coping strategies and lower engaged strategies as well as financial and coping motivation to bet on esports results. The results show the crucial role of psychological factors (motivation, coping) in the development of esports betting addiction. Esports betting is an activity associated with both gambling and gaming—involvement in both activities explains the development of ESB addiction. There is a need for further research focused on the specificity of esports betting behavior to discover the direction of links among gaming, gambling, and esports gambling.

Posterior Ankle Impingement

Background: Posterior ankle impingement (PAI) is a known cause of posterior ankle pain in athletes performing repetitive plantarflexion motion. Even though empirically recommended in adult PAI, there is minimal literature related to the role of conservative physical therapy (PT) in pediatric patients. Purpose: To identify patient characteristics and determine if there is a difference in pediatric patients with PAI who were successful with conservative PT and those who were unsuccessful, requiring surgical intervention. Methods: Prospective study at a tertiary children’s hospital included patients <18 years diagnosed with PAI and underwent PT. Patients who received PT at an external facility were excluded. Collected data included demographics, initial presentation at PT evaluation, treatment throughout PT, patient presentation at PT discharge, time to return to sport (RTS) from initial PT evaluation (if successful), time to surgery from initial PT evaluation (if unsuccessful). Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scores were collected. Group comparisons were conducted using independent t-tests or chi-square analyses (alpha level set at .05). Results: 31 (12 males, 19 females) patients diagnosed with PAI were enrolled with a mean age 12.61 years (range: 8-17). Gymnastics, football, and basketball were the most commonly implicated sports (42% patients). All patients underwent initial conservative PT for an average of 16.24 weeks (9.23 visits ±7.73). 20/31(64.5%) patients failed conservative management and underwent arthroscopic debridement. PAI pathology was predominantly bony in 61.3% and soft tissue 38.7%. Between the successful PT group and unsuccessful PT group, there was no difference in the proportion of athletes/non-athletes (p=.643). Average RTS time for successful group was 11.47 weeks and average time to surgery for unsuccessful group was 17.82 weeks. There were no significant differences in sex (p=.332), age (p=.674), number of PT visits (p=.945), initial weight-bearing status (p=.367), use of manual therapy (p=.074) including manipulation (p=.172) and mobilization (p=.507), sport (p=.272), initial evaluation ankle ROM (p>.05). Initial AOFAS scores for pain, function, alignment, or total were not significantly different (p=.551, .998, .555, .964 respectively). Conclusion: The first prospective study in pediatric patients with PAI demonstrates that even though success of PT is not dependent on age, sex, sport or PAI pathology, a notable proportion of patients who undergo PT do not need surgery. Conservative management including PT should be the initial line of management for PAI. PT treatment and surgery (if unsuccessful with PT) allowed patients to return to prior level of activity/sports.

Objective.To investigate the role of psychological variables in self-reported disease activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), while controlling for demographic and medical variables.Methods.Patients with AS (n = 294) meeting modified New York criteria completed psychological measures evaluating depression, resilience, active and passive coping, internality, and helplessness. Demographic, clinical, and radiologic data were also collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were completed to determine the strength of the correlation of psychological variables with disease activity, as measured by the Bath AS Disease Activity Index (BASDAI).Results.In the multivariate regression analysis, the psychological variables contributed significantly to the variance in BASDAI scores, adding an additional 33% to the overall R-square beyond that accounted for by demographic and medical variables (combined R-square 18%). Specifically, arthritis helplessness and depression accounted for the most significant portion of the variance in BASDAI scores in the final model.Conclusion.Arthritis helplessness and depression accounted for significant variability in self-reported disease activity beyond clinical and demographic variables in patients with AS. These findings have important clinical implications in the treatment and monitoring of disease activity in AS, and suggest potential avenues of intervention.
