Boxing participation by children and adolescents: A joint statement with the American Academy of Pediatrics.

[Article in English, French]

Purcell LK, Leblanc CM; Canadian Paediatric Society, Healthy Active Living and Sports Medicine Committee, and American Academy of Pediatrics, Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness.

Abstract

Thousands of boys and girls younger than 19 years of age participate in boxing in North America. Although boxing provides benefits for participants, including exercise, self-discipline and self-confidence, the sport of boxing encourages and rewards deliberate blows to the head and face. Participants in boxing are at risk of head, face and neck injuries, including chronic and even fatal neurological injuries. Concussions are one of the most common injuries occurring in boxing. Because of the risk of head and facial injuries, the Canadian Paediatric Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics vigorously oppose boxing as a sport for children and adolescents. These organizations recommend that physicians oppose boxing in youth and encourage patients to participate in alternative sports in which intentional head blows are not central to the sport.

Feliz 2013!!!

Escrevo para agradecer aos que me deram a oportunidade de praticar judô, discutir ideias, escrever e pensar nos projetos para os próximos anos.
2012 foi um ano ao mesmo tempo muito duro em alguns aspectos e de muito sucesso em muitos outros.
Tinha planejado escrever um texto longo, agradecendo um por um, mas o cansaço e a preguiça não permitiram. E isso é bom, porque tenho descansado bem nesses dias de recesso : )
Espero que todos vocês possam aproveitar 2013.
Feliz ano novo.

Abstract

Abstract While sport science can have significant and positive impact on coaches and athletes, there is still a general consensus that the transfer of sport science knowledge to coaching is poor. Given this apparent dilemma, this study investigated the perceptions of sport science from coaches across four different sports (football, rugby league, curling and judo) across three different levels (elite, developmental and novice). Specifically, 58 coaches (19 football; 21 rugby league; 9 curling; 9 judo) drawn evenly from novice, developmental and elite groups agreed to take part and were interviewed. Three key features emerged from the analysis 1) Practical application and relevance 2) Integration and access, 3) Language. In short, there was significant variability in the extent to which sport science was considered relevant and to whom, although interestingly this was not strongly related to coaching level. This inconsistency of understanding was a barrier to sport science engagement in some instances, as was the challenge of operationalising information for specific contexts. Furthermore, availability of opportunities and resources were often left to chance, while overuse of jargon and inability for research and practitioners to consider sport specific needs were also considered barriers to engagement. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
