Happy New Year!
As we say our goodbyes to legends we lost last year, sadly joined by Pele, Vialli, Jorge Ballesteros and Ken Block recently, we look forward to 2023 and the world of entertainment that athletes such as these provide through their dedication to their sports.
Whatever the team and individual successes, none would be possible without the essential support provided by sports medicine practitioners, so we’d like to take this moment to celebrate the work and dedication of our members and colleagues in caretaking the health of our sportsmen and women.
Here is a summary of some of the research and articles you may have missed last month.
If you have any suggestions for resources, studies or events for inclusion in future bulletins, please do let us know.
