Our 88-week study with South African Para athletes is now out! 🇿🇦 In a given week: ✅ 1/2 report mild-to-severe pain ✅ 1/4 report a new or ongoing injury/illness ✅ 1/5 experience mild-to-severe symptoms of anxiety/depression ✅ 7/10 sleep less than 8h tinyurl.com/yk7tdeuz

Big week for publications, with two new pieces in @BJSM_BMJ from our Swedish-South African Para sport collaboration led by @KristinaFagher. Great project to have been part of! 🇸🇪🇿🇦 bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/… bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

Planning to use self-reporting of health problems with adolescent athletes? Maybe our new article can be of help. We investigated how South African athletes (10-18 years) understood concepts used in the OSTRC-H2 and present an adapted English version: jsams.org/article/S1440-…

🔥🚨BREAKING NEWS: The DailyMail just revealed a secret Democrat plot to replace Joe Biden before the election. Bill Clinton, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer ‘will topple the aging President.’ The DailyMail has revealed that if Joe loses in the first debate with Trump or if his polling numbers keep falling, it'll take a united front of the liberal grandees to make Joe throw in the towel. The only people who could force him out would be Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer,' one Democratic strategist told the Mail. 'It would have to be the four of them collectively.' Mrs. Obama, who has no close personal feelings for the Bidens, according to one well-connected Democratic source, flat-out ignored the invitation.  strategists theorize that Democrats would have to hold a public event to symbolically transfer power from Biden to the new candidate, at which Biden, Obama, Clinton, Schumer, and Pelosi would publicly introduce and endorse the anointed nominee.
