A new Editor-in-Chief for JSAMS Plus: building a partner journal to JSAMS with its own unique personality and offering
Journal of Science and Medicine in SportVol. 26Issue 3p157–158Published in issue: March, 2023- Tim Meyer
- Jessica Orchard
Cited in Scopus: 0April 2023 marks the start of Jessica Orchard´s (University of Sydney) term as the new Editor-in-Chief for JSAMS Plus, the newly established partner journal to JSAMS. Although first articles were already published in October/November 2022, JSAMS Plus´ first year was still partly devoted to establishing many technical and other structures of the young journal. From the beginning it was agreed that this stage will be followed by a hand-over to a new Editor-in-Chief who is solely responsible for JSAMS Plus (albeit in close exchange with JSAMS). - Editorial
What´s new in JSAMS 2023?
Journal of Science and Medicine in SportVol. 26Issue 1p1–2Published in issue: January, 2023- Tim Meyer
Cited in Scopus: 0From time to time it is necessary to adapt journal structures to recent developments within the scientific community. Like many other disciplines, sports medicine and sport science are facing enhanced reporting requirements for scientific publications, expressed in consented guidelines like the CONSORT statement ( http://www.consort-statement.org/media/default/downloads/CONSORT%202010%20Checklist.pdf ). Following them properly, however, may lead to difficulties with low word limits. So far the JSAMS limit was set at 3,000 for original research, and it has probably served well to facilitate concise writing. - Editorial
Physical activity across the lifespan: the need for a gender perspective
Journal of Science and Medicine in SportVol. 25Issue 11p869–870Published in issue: November, 2022- Teatske Altenburg
Cited in Scopus: 0For the November issue, I would like to highlight three papers addressing the topic of physical activity. In the past decades, there has been an increasing interest in physical activity research, with a shift from emphasizing aerobic exercise to the broader concept of physical activity for various health benefits6. Physical activity guidelines describe how much physical activity at a moderate-to-vigorous intensity (MVPA) is needed to achieve these beneficial health effects. Generally, less females than males comply with physical activity guidelines: 85% of girls and 78% of boys, and 32% of women and 23% of men4,5. - Editorial
Two "hot topics" addressed and one article about "unknown territory"
Journal of Science and Medicine in SportVol. 25Issue 10p787Published in issue: October, 2022- Tim Meyer
Cited in Scopus: 0For our October issue, it is my pleasure to highlight three papers from Denmark, Australia and Canada. Two of them address research questions from heavily debated areas (use of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, NSAIDs, by athletes4 ; management of head injuries 5) whereas the other one is from an underresearched field (sport and gastrointestinal problems1). - Editorial
The reduction of sport-related fatal incidents is an ongoing task for sport physicians
Journal of Science and Medicine in SportVol. 25Issue 9p703–704Published in issue: September, 2022- Tim Meyer
Cited in Scopus: 0The survived cardiac arrest of Christian Eriksen during the European Football Championships 2020 (postponed to 2021 due to the pandemic) has shown once again that even the seemingly healthiest athletes who perform at the highest level are not immune to cardiac disease and even sudden cardiac death. Although fortunately rare, such cases are always threatening and have the potential to impair the reputation of sport despite "contradictory" findings like the ones from Orchard et al.4 in this issue who report a reduced death rate compared to the general population even in a contact sport like Australian Rules Football when played on elite level. - Editorial

What are the employment prospects for Australian Sport Scientists?
Journal of Science and Medicine in SportVol. 25Issue 5p363Published in issue: May, 2022- Ollie Jay
Cited in Scopus: 0The most recent unemployment figures released on April 14th show that only 4% of the labour force across Australia was unemployed in March 2022.1 But what are the employment prospects for Australian Sport Scientists entering in the labour force now and in the future? No doubt the industry was disrupted over the past 2 years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the accreditation standards set forth by Exercise Sport Science Australia (ESSA) that have been adopted by Australian Universities when training their sport science students should have ensured the development of a rigorous set of graduate skills and qualities, which in many cases can be transferrable to a variety of settings. - Editorial

Can heat exposure improve exercise performance?
Journal of Science and Medicine in SportVol. 25Issue 3p197Published in issue: March, 2022- Ollie Jay
Cited in Scopus: 0As part of a new set of initiatives, the JSAMS editor group established the early goal in 2022 of increasing the social media activity of our journals. Many academic journals have demonstrated over the past few years the increased importance of a strong social media presence. Dissemination of information on platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and YouTube help maximise a journal’s impact and reach across a variety of different stakeholders, which is particularly important for JSAMS and its new sister journal JSAMS Plus, as we seek to best serve both our academic and practitioner readership. - Editorial

Using video in concussion surveillance
Journal of Science and Medicine in SportVol. 19Issue 12p957Published in issue: December, 2016- Gordon S. Waddington
Cited in Scopus: 0In this month's sport and exercise medicine section Makdissi and Davis examine the effectiveness of using video analysis for concussion surveillance in Australian football. They suggest that video analysis has a part to play in the side-line assessment of concussion in support of an appropriate clinical assessment. However, they acknowledge that the need for multiple camera angles with good quality video limits this approach to high level games. Thorning and colleagues in an exploratory study of the effect of knee bracing in menisectomised patients suggest that worthwhile changes in knee joint moments warrant further research on these devices. - Editorial
