EDITORIAL

Hello, well, those first 2 months of the year have flown by and so we find ourselves well into 2019 without even really knowing it. I hope you have settled in well to this year. In this bulletin, we feature keeping NZ sport clean, and Physiotherapists responsibilities to promote drug-free sport. Belinda Ryan from Drug-free sport takes us through what we need to know. There are some interesting facts on supplements on sale in NZ, Belinda also lets us know how to check medication and what resources are available or where we can go if we need more information. We review another APP called "clock yourself" (CY) that has the ability to test cognitive and motor skills. This APP has practical clinical implications for you to be able to help your clients with endurance, jump training to build confidence and is also useful for concussion rehabilitation. Best of all is pretty cheap at $1.99 (AUD) coming in at 4.75/5 stars. Our article review by Karen Carmichael looks at a paper on cardiovascular risk profile in Olympic athletes. She has a comment for ageing and nonendurant athletes even if you have never been to the Olympics. Finally we are 2 weeks away from the symposium and I hope you have been keeping watch on our Facebook page where executive member Justin Lopes has been interviewing the speakers of the symposium. These are short interviews where you can hear all about our speakers and a snippet on what they are going to present. In the opening pages of this bulletin, Rod Whiteley gives a sneak peek at his keynote speech. Rod has told us this won't be a talk to miss, possibly the most thoughtprovoking talk of the year for all those that come. His opening talk promises to be very energetic, and possibly controversial for some and I am sure it will have some physiotherapists really thinking about their practice when they walk in the door on Monday morning. If you want to hear more from Rod or any of our speakers then there are still tickets available for the symposium and the workshops. We know that some

of our members have commitments on the weekend so we have made this symposium the most accessible symposium to date. There are options for 2 days, 1-day symposium tickets and also for those that just want to come and do a workshop. Please don't forget that on the Sunday morning of the symposium we will be having our AGM - all are welcome to attend and if you want to be part of the SEPNZ executive then please send your nominations to Michael Borich as soon as possible. We would love to see you in Tauranga for the 5th Biennial Symposium focusing on the running athlete. If you can't make our symposium then please keep an eye out for the upcoming SEPNZ courses. Sideline Management is being run in Dunedin in March and keep an eye out on our website for the release of the 2019 courses. If you follow us on social media you won't miss these registrations.

Kind Regards Blair Jarratt SEPNZ President

SEPNZ SYMPOSIUM AGENDA

PAGE 7

SEPNZ SYMPOSIUM - KEY NOTE SPEAKER Physiotherapy is a relatively young profession, and over the last 50 years has seen some important shifts in its direction. In this talk I am going to provocatively argue that we have abandoned our "core business" or what should be considered our greatest strength as a profession. Specifically, physiotherapists were once considered the experts in terms of prescribing and delivering loading - i.e. targeted training programmes - to those with injury. In recent decades we have seen this market share eroded by many other professions including but not limited to exercise and sports scientists. In the meanwhile, I'll argue that physiotherapists have instead adopted an ever changing array of fashions and fads into their "toolbox" which are often justified in terms of "giving a window of opportunity" to the patient. In practice I believe that "on the ground" this has led to physiotherapists largely delivering low value care at the expense of the high value (i.e. exercise-based) interventions for which we used to be expert. This would be of little consequence except that increasingly insurers and funding bodies are beginning to enforce fiscal responsibility, and the days of paying for "no value care" are numbered. In part this shift has been due to some fundamental shifts in the clinician-researcher divide, and here I think blame can be laid equally at both parties. Researchers sneer from their ivory tower that "clinicians don't know what they are doing" while clinicians retort that "research doesn't apply to my patients". Going forward clinicians need to gain some research skills to better drive sensible research questions, and clinically interpret their findings. Similarly, researchers need to embed in the real world of clinical practice, and find out what are the actual questions that clinicians want answered instead of what is a paper that's more likely to get published if we are to move forward as a profession. Some discussion is required regarding measuring effect sizes of our interventions and interpreting these in context of what patients feel are clinically meaningful, as opposed to what journals consider are "statistically significant". Rodney Whiteley See you at the SEPNZ Symposium 2019!

APP REVIEW

Back to the App... Your App Review By Justin Lopes (Back to Your Feet Physiotherapy) We are already part way through the year and our symposium is not very far away, and we are looking forward to seeing a lot of you in Tauranga. For this App Review I would like to bring your attention to the Clock Yourself App.

CLOCK YOURSELF introduces physical exercises with cognitive exercises, simultaneously, to train psychomotor speed, with 5 levels to challenge your stepping ability. All five levels of CLOCK YOURSELF activities are based around an imaginary clock face beneath your feet, so you have 12 intuitive coordinates / reference points to step to without needing to wire up mats or sensors.

The findings of the study was that the CY app is a feasible clinical tool and may be useful for dual-task assessment and management and assist with return to sport decision-making post-concussion. Further research is recommended to determine normative values for baseline testing using the CY app to enable standardised use within a sporting environment.

Clock Yourself (CY) was brought to my attention by Emma Lattey. Emma tested the app for her Masters project at UQ in 2018 and I asked her for a little background to the app, Here is what she said…

How do you use the app? You can use the bronze and gold Clock Yourself screens for single motor and cognitive tasks

What’s the background to the app? The Clock-yourself app was developed by a neuro physio in Brisbane for use in elderly rehab and falls prevention. She saw its potential in concussion rehabilitation and so we tested it for her as our Masters project for Sports physio at UQ 2018. How could it improve my practice? The best concussion tool currently used for dual tasking (cog-motor) in concussion identification and treatment is the dual-task tandem gait (TG) test. The dual task TG test is easy for athletes to learn and practice, where as the CY app is random and unable to be learned. It may help identify cognitive-motor dual task deficiencies when concussion symptoms have resolved to potentially prevent/reduce the occurrence of soft tissue injury/another concussion risk prior to RTS (return to sport).

To test Single Cognitive tasks: Set speed and place on ‘random’ on Gold clock face level. Divide number given by 2 and gradually increase speed until fastest time found; To test Single Motor skills: Set speed and place on ‘random’ on Bronze clock face level. Step in middle of imaginary clock face and step to delegated number and back to middle when the number is randomly read out, gradually increase speed to find fastest pace. Keep a record of how many the client can do correct. For Dual Motor cognitive tasks: Use the gold level. Half numbers and step onto imaginary clock face to find fastest pace. Keep a record of how many the client can do correct. All tests can be done at home or in clinic to focus on beating previous times.

Clients can use the app themselves to progress their own rehab There are 5 levels for clients to work through It has prompts in a number of different languages Once you have downloaded the app then all the client needs is a 2m x 2m space and a smartphone to do the exercises I like to challenge clients to ‘clock’ the game Easy interface that has a cool ‘hipster’looking demonstration guy

Cons: There is a risk that clients can injure themselves or fall doing the exercises unsupervised More research needs to be done to find normative values for concussion in a variety of populations

How I use the app: I am using ot to rehabilitate clients with knee injuries prior to progressing to jump training, to help build strength and endurance in their quads and confidence in their movement. Observing and cueing them to ensure they have good form as they lunge into the different positions. I have also used it to help retrain clients returning to sport from a concussion as rehabilitation rather than testing as I didn’t have a baseline for them. I have asked clients to download the app and to work their way through the levels. Take home message: A cheap easy app, useful for musculoskeletal and cognitive rehab, that challenges clients to beat their score… I have had one client come back with DOMS because they got a little carried away!! Thanks Emma for bringing the app to my attention and helping with the review! Download it and I challenge you all to see if you can “clock it”

Overall Rating: 4.75/5

CLINICAL REVIEW

D’Ascenzi F et.al. British Journal of Sports Medicine 2019: 53: 37-42.

By Karen Carmichael, BSc, BPhyty, M (SportsPhysio), Hillcrest Physiotherapy Abstract Background: Prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors has been poorly explored in subjects regularly engaged in high-intensity exercise programmes. Our aim was, therefore, to assess the prevalence and distribution of CV risk factors in a large population of competitive athletes, to derive the characteristics of athlete’s lifestyle associated with the best CV profile. Methods: 1058 Olympic athletes (656 males, 402 females), consecutively evaluated in the period 2014–2016, represent the study population. Prevalence and distribution of CV risk factors was assessed, in relation to age, body size and sport. Findings: Dyslipidemia was the most common risk (32%), followed by increased waist circumference (25%), positive family history (18%), smoking habit (8%), hypertension (3.8%) and hyperglycaemia (0.3%). Large subset of athletes (418, 40%) had none or 1 (414, 39%) risk factor, while only a few (39, 3.7%) had 3/4 CV risk factors. The group without risks largely comprised endurance athletes (34%). Ageing was associated with higher total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides (p<0.001) and glycaemia (p=0.002) and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, age, BMI and body fat were identified as independent predictors of increased CV risk. Interpretation: Dyslipidemia and increased waist circumference are common in elite athletes (32% and 25%, respectively). A large proportion (40%) of athletes, mostly endurance, are totally free from risk factors.

CLINICAL REVIEW This study looked at a large group of Olympic athletes through the Institute of Sport Medicine and Science in Rome from January 2014 through until June 2016. They wanted to find out if elite athletes had the low- cardiovascular risk profile that you would expect, due to their younger age and regular exercise. (This assumption had previously been challenged by observations of a large number of cardiovascular risk factors in some athletic populations, such as football players). They sought to find the athletic characteristics associated with the best cardiovascular profile. To do this they divided the athlete population up into subgroups, based on age and type of sport. Adolescents (15-20 years), young (21-29 years) and older adults (30-45 years). Type of sport was divided into: Skill (primarily technical e.g. archery, equestrian, golf, shooting), power (primarily strength e.g. weightlifting, wrestling, shot put), mixed disciplines (alternate isometric and isotonic activity e.g. soccer, fencing, basketball), endurance (primarily dynamic e.g. cycling, rowing, long â&#x20AC;&#x201C;distance running). They measured a wide variety of cardiovascular risk factors, the main ones were: family history, cigarette smoking, overweight (they used a waist circumference of >94cm males, and >80cm for females), hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia (LDL > 11.5mg/dL). They also completed extensive cardio testing. Unsurprisingly age and type of exercise were two of the main factors, with the adolescent athletes having the least cardiovascular risk factors along with the endurance athletes. Both these groups had the lowest BMIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and body fat along with better lipid profiles and blood pressure. Among the cardiovascular risk factors in the athletes, dyslipidemia and increased waist circumference were the most frequently observed, followed by a family history of coronary artery disease, smoking, hypertension and far less, by diabetes. Athletes over the age of 30 years, had greater waist circumference, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and worse lipid profiles, among other factors. Indicating that age is a major determinant for

worsening cardiovascular risk profile, not just in the general population, but also in the athletic population. The best risk profile was associated with the highest level of physical performance (endurance athletes), indicating aerobic exercise is better for decreasing cardiovascular risk profiles. They note however that a large proportion of their athletic population (60%) had no risk factors, and only a small percentage had a high risk profile, mostly older athletes in the skills categories. This study had a number of limitations, firstly the population studied was 98% Caucasian. Secondly this was a cross-sectional design and there was no outcome data, there was also no control group of non -athletes. It also did not mention anything around congenital heart defects or other heart conditions which affect the athletic population. It would be good to see a longitudinal study done to follow up the athlete population and see what the cardiovascular outcomes were in later years.

So in conclusion,

it seems younger athletes, and endurance athletes have the lowest cardiovascular risk profiles, but as they age, especially in the non-endurance athlete population even Olympic athletes can develop risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The clinical relevance of this later in life has not been studied.

FEATURE ARTICLE

Keeping sport Clean and Drug Free By Belinda Ryan Physiotherapists and medical professionals have a crucial role to play in helping to create and promote a culture of clean sport. You will be a role model for the athletes you’re involved with, so your attitude to doping will be instrumental in shaping their views on clean sport. Drug Free Sport NZ (DFSNZ) is NZ’s national anti-doping organisation, and aims to protect and promote a culture of clean sport that rejects cheating through drug use. Athletes competing at any level have a responsibility to compete clean. This means they need to take care with everything that they consume: food, medications, supplements, drugs, vitamins, vaccinations, energy drinks – everything. That way, athletes can be confident that performance outcomes are not achieved by taking short cuts, relying on substances or breaking the rules to gain an advantage. If you’re talking to an athlete in the course of treatment, here’s what you need to know about clean sport.

This means they need to take care with everything that they consume: food, medications, supplements, drugs, vitamins, vaccinations, energy drinks – everything.

Supplements Many athletes use dietary supplements or energy drinks to try and improve their sporting performance. DFSNZ advises athletes to be very wary of taking supplements and to carefully examine whether they are really needed, or whether nutritional needs could be met through diet changes. *CONTINUED >>

PAGE 14

FEATURE ARTICLE Supplements include: Protein shakes/bars, pre-workouts, vitamins, energy drinks, herbal remedies, meal replacements and products which claim to assist weight loss and muscle development. Taking supplements is risky because they may contain substances which are prohibited in sport and all ingredients may not be listed on the label. Many supplements do not have adequate quality control so you cannot be 100% sure what’s in them. Also, supplements rarely have sound evidence which proves they are effective or safe for use by healthy, young athletes. A 2017 study by New Zealand's Otago University's Department of Physiology also found several supplements on sale in New Zealand and Australia contained steroids not declared on their labels1. An Australian survey in 2016 found that one in five products contained one or more substances banned in sport2. Again, none of the products identified listed any banned substances on their ingredients list. Intelligence sharing has meant that anti-doping has become more sophisticated. Investigations into online steroid suppliers have led to some Kiwi athletes being banned from sport. So it’s really important that athletes think carefully and do their research before buying any product.

competition, work/study, nutrition and rest will provide far more performance benefit. For general advice on supplements, visit www.drugfreesport.org.nz/supplements

Common medications Occasionally athletes will get injured or sick, or may need to take regular medication for an ongoing condition, such as asthma or diabetes. Many common medications can contain ingredients which are prohibited in sport so athletes need to be very careful about everything they take. DFSNZ suggests athletes tell their medical professionals that as an athlete they could be drug tested and insist that they check that the medication prescribed is allowed in sport.

How to check a medication • Check the medication on the DFSNZ Website.

Complete all fields and receive an instant answer. • Phone 0800 DRUGFREE (378 437) in NZ • Text the exact name of the medication or active ingredient to 4365 (costs 20 cents).

Before an athlete takes a supplement, they should ask themselves:

• Do I actually need this supplement? Could I improve my diet to ensure I get the nutrients I require?

• Do the product’s claims sound too good to be true? Will the product do what it claims?

• Could the supplement negatively affect my health and my performance? Both Drug Free Sport NZ and High Performance Sport NZ advocate a Food First approach to athlete nutrition and encourage athletes to make the effort to understand your individual nutritional needs. Focusing on an optimal balance between training/

What if I need emergency treatment? If an athlete has a serious accident or needs emergency medical treatment, don’t hesitate. Their health always comes first, and they should seek medical help immediately. Athletes may want to keep a copy of their medical notes, in case the information is needed at a later date.

FEATURE ARTICLE Drug Free Sport on social media Late last year Drug Free Sport NZ launched a video series on social media featuring five kiwi athletes talking about their experiences with drugs in sport. The athletes included a rugby player who received a ban for ordering a prohibited substance on the internet, and a cyclist whose team manager offered him performanceenhancing drugs. Two-time Olympic Champion rower Eric Murray featured in the video series. Eric has little patience with those who claim ignorance about prohibited substances in sport, given the range of Drug Free Sport education and information that is available. He highlights the potential impact of poor decisions “When you’re an athlete, the decisions that you make around doping can mean (damage to) your reputation, your sport’s reputation, your country…it’s a pretty big deal. It affects so many people down the line.” Follow Drug Free Sport NZ on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter to keep in up to date with the latest news.
