Thank you @heartfoundation for supporting our Hearts in FOCUS program. We are delighted to be able to do this research. We will codesign a culturally-safe cardiac screening program for young First Nations people in remote northern Australia in a community sporting setting.

Just out - first ARENA Project paper on isolated TWI V2-3 in female athletes. In a cohort of >4,400 athletes, prevalence in females was 1.5% & this finding was not associated with pathology. Full paper: ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11… Editorial: ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…

This pilot study in professional #rugby tracked biomechanics and #selfefficacy across rehab phases, finding strong links. Results support an interdisciplinary #rehabilitation approach to optimise #injuryrecovery and safe return to sport. 👀 zurl.co/sQS5e

Participation-focused #physicalactivity interventions build not just skills but meaningful #participation. This study explored the ‘Run Club’ for adolescents with #cerebralpalsy, mapping delivery and experiences to the #fPRC framework. 🔗 zurl.co/uGJFE

Ultra-endurance racing is booming but brings risks from cardiac strain to heat stroke. This study audits global pre-race screening and harm reduction, exposing gaps and opportunities to strengthen #athletesafety in #ultraendurance and #sportsmedicine. 👉 zurl.co/w64Lm
