Across 16,893 high school athletes screened over 15 years, 0.36% had T-wave inversions. Four were later found to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in the young.

He said he thought he was done. What actually lets a 41-year-old compete at the NBA level isn't a secret supplement — it's sleep, hydrotherapy, and training loads built around recovery, not just output.
An umbrella review of 29 systematic reviews and 863 randomised trials found most treatments resting on critically low-quality evidence. Animal work suggests soreness can arise without muscle damage at all.
In a meta-analysis of 25 randomised trials and 26,610 participants, stretching produced no reduction in sports injuries. Strength training cut them to under a third — on a much smaller evidence base.
A review of 42 studies on South Africa's Comrades Marathon finds medical encounters at up to 20 per 1,000 starters — mostly dehydration and cramping, not the cardiac events that draw the most attention.
Ten years of national anti-doping reports show NSAID declarations flat at about 45%, a significant shift away from COX-2 selective drugs, and glucocorticoids making up around 13% of all prohibited-substance findings.
Three BJSM reviews underpinning the FAIR consensus pooled 1.5 million participants and 108 concussion studies. Women and girls were 2.4% of the lower-limb evidence base.
