Context: The effect of ibuprofen on pain tolerance during exercise is controversial, and its effects on endurance performance have been poorly investigated. Objective: To investigate the effect of prophylactic administration of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen on the time until the self-report of fatigue (tlim) in runners with exercise-induced muscle damage. Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial. Setting: Laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: Twenty healthy male long-distance runners (age = 18.8 ± 0.4 years, maximal oxygen consumption = 55.5 ± 5.9 mL·kg−1·min−1). Intervention(s): Participants were assigned to 2 groups (ibuprofen group = 10, placebo group = 10) to perform tlim trials (speed corresponded to their previously determined secondventilatory thresholds) 48 hours before and 48 hours after the induction of a lower limb muscle-damage protocol (isokinetic dynamometry). One hour before the second tlim trial, the ibuprofen group received 1.2 g ibuprofen, and the placebo group received lactose orally. Main Outcome Measure(s): Time until self-reported fatigue, heart rate, respiratory quotient, oxygen consumption, and perceived exertion were recorded during each tlim test. Results: Both groups reported increases in muscle pain in the knee extensors and flexors 48 hours after the muscle-damage protocol. We observed a reduction in the endurance performance of both groups (P < .01) but no difference between groups (P = .55). Conclusions: Ibuprofen did not reduce the effect of muscle damage and pain on performance. Prophylactic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs did not have an ergogenic effect on running performance after exercise-induced muscle damage in male long-distance runners.

Background: For long-distance runners, low back pain as well as lower extremity disorders are becoming more common. This study analyzed the relationship between regular physical assessment results and nonspecific low back pain among long-distance runners. Methods: Subjects included 105 high school long-distance runners, who were divided into the low back pain group (n = 20; LP) and non-pain group (n = 85; NP). All subjects underwent regular chronic pain and physical assessments every six months. Differences in each measurement between both groups were analyzed using an unpaired t-test for comparison.Results: The LP had a shorter history of athletics (LP=3.2 years, NP=4.6 years, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): -2.55, -0.28, r=0.45), a greater hip extension angle (LP=32.7°, NP=28.4°, 95% CI: 2.85, 5.61, r=0.67), a lower hip extension muscle strength (LP=3.1 kgf/kg, NP=4.0 kgf/kg, 95% CI; 0.19, 0.61, r=0.45), and a greater number of times during the stand-up test (LP=11.1, NP=8.1, 95% CI; 0.40, 5.56, r=0.45) than the NP.Conclusion: An excessive hip extension angle and insufficient hip extension muscle strength were considered as risk factors. It is possible that the excessive movement of the hip joint and the biarticular muscles may have caused the low back pain in the inexperienced runners.

Abstract Context: Previous reports suggest high-specialized adolescent athletes may be at a higher risk of injury, worse sleep quality, and lower sport enjoyment than low-specialized athletes. Currently, sport specialization literature is primarily composed of adolescent athletes from a variety of sports. However, it is unknown if the findings on sport specialization from predominantly non-running athletes are generalizable to adolescent long-distance runners. Objective: Compare injury history, running volume, quality of life, sleep habits, and running enjoyment among male and female middle- and high-school long-distance runners from different sport specialization levels. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Online survey. Participants: A total of 102 male (age=15.8±0.9 years) and 157 female (age=15.6±1.4 years) uninjured middle- and high-school athletes who participated in long-distance running activities (completion rate=50.7%). Main Outcome Measure(s): Participants were stratified by sex and sport specialization level (low, moderate, high). Group differences in self-reported running-related injuries, EQ-5D-Y quality of life, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index sleep quality, sleep duration, running habits, and running enjoyment were assessed. Results: High-specialized male and female middle- and high-school long-distance runners reported competing more months per year (p<0.001), higher weekly run distance (p<0.001), more runs per week (p<0.001), higher average distance per run (p<0.001), and higher running enjoyment (p<0.001) than low-specialized runners. Males reported higher average weekly run distance (p=0.01), higher average distance per run (p=0.01), and better sleep quality (p=0.01) than females. No differences among sport specialization were found for running-related injuries (p=0.25), quality of life (p=0.07), sleep quality (p=0.19), or sleep duration (p=0.11) among male or female middle- and high-school runners. Conclusions: High-specialized male and female middle- and high-school long-distance runners reported higher running volumes and running enjoyment than low-specialized runners. However, high-specialized runners did not report a greater number of running-related injuries, lower quality of life, or lower sleep quality or duration as expected.

Road accidents were the main causes of mortality at young ages, especially for gentlemen, it can also caused physical disabilities. Mortality rates which happened at young ages were caused by the low rates of their awareness perception due to the harm on traffic. This research was conducted to depict the causes of road accidents and safety riding while using vehicles of senior high school students in Samarinda. This research was conducted in nine senior high school which were chosen to represent each district. The total respondents were 315, which were taken using proportional random sampling, each district were represented by one school. The characteristic of respondents in this research was the students in 10th grade, who ride motorcycles to school. The data were collected using questionnaire, to avoid any bias, it was helped by enumerators. Each enumerator monitored 10 respondents. The data were analyzed using chi square with α 0.05%. The results showed that the accidents rate was 30.8%, the rates of using motorcycle due to has none to accompany were 39,4%, due to the long distance were 11.7%. There was relationship between accident rates and safety riding. The relationship between accident and rebelling yellow lamp was p = 0.015, calling p = 0.041, sending SMS p = 0.000, smoking p = 0.01 and riding with more than two p = 0.043. Meanwhile riding with more than 60 km/h speed, listening to the music, out of the street line, disobey the traffic signs have no relationship with road accidents. Factors that cause accidents are driving behavior called warning lights, using the phone, smoking and more than two people while driving.Keywords: accident, high school, riding
