New Publication in New Layout

No. 66 of ICSSPE’s Bulletin is now available and presents itself in a new layout.  

The newest edition of the online journal devotes a Special Feature to “Perspectives on Front Line Care for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Sport (MTBI)”. The section contains a selected collection of position statements, policies and guidelines as well as articles relating to the pressing need of how to prevent, treat and deal with brain injuries and concussions in sport. The Special Feature was designed, compiled and reviewed by Carl Cramer (Barry University, USA), who has taught, researched and served in the field of athletic training for more than thirty-five year and who has served the profession in many leadership capacities involving accreditation of entry-level athletic training education.

The Current Issue section consists of six articles. The first contribution is by Gladys Guerrero and Rosa López de D'Amico and outlines aspects of physical activity for health and housewives in the context of women’s participation and development in society. The article by Nagoor Meera Abdullah, Vincent Parnabas and Mohammad Nizam Mohamad Shapie deals with physical activity and cerebral palsy based on reviews of a number of studies on individuals with cerebral palsy and the relationship between the condition and muscle strength and exercise. In his article WADA’s Director of Education and Program Development, Rob Koehler, addresses the importance of education and the delivery of values-based messages in the prevention of doping in sport. Following Mu Liming’s brief portray of the Presidential Youth Fitness Program launched by the U.S. President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, Lauren Hillard provides a review of Gianna Angelopoulos’ book My Greek Drama: Life, Love, and One Woman's Olympic Effort to Bring Glory to Her Country. As usual the section closes with a compilation of recent ICSSPE news. 

The Bulletin is available for free to all ICSSPE members and can be accessed through the membership area on the website. It can also be purchased through the Scientific Resources section on the ICSSPE website.
