Pediatric Sports Medicine Podcast Mark Halstead

 

Youth sports can have many benefits to use. However, the world of youth sports, in some situations, has taken a life of its own. Many young athletes play multiple games in a day, on multiple teams, year-round, and often with added independent skill or endurance training. Too much can lead to overuse injuries, overtraining and burnout. Today on the podcast we have the two lead authors of the recent American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Report on Overuse Injuries, Overtraining, and Burnout in Youth Athletes published in February of 2024.

On a regular basis in sports medicine, we are faced with ethical dilemmas. Whether or not we should allow kids to play certain sports based on injury risk, performance enhancement and equipment advances, treatment interventions, return to play decisions, and conflicts of interest to name a few. These issues may cause disagreements between the athlete and the physician or even among physicians as to how to best deal with various situations.







 

During my pediatrics residency training, I had the privilege of learning from an ethicist who not only provided me with a process to improve my critical thinking and how to approach things from multiple views, but also was truly influential in shaping me into the physician I am today. Today on the podcast I have a pediatric physician who is considered a true expert on ethics. I hope you finish listening today with a new appreciation for ethics in medicine.

Today on the Pediatric Sports Medicine Podcast we are going to tackle a topic that I would predict that all of us do not get enough of….and that’s sleep. Sleep is a necessity for all of us but it can have a critical role in the life of an athlete in terms of injury and performance. We are going tackle sleep today… with the goal of keeping you engaged, awake, and interested.

We are back to finish out Brain Injury Awareness Month looking at another component of the SCAT6. Today we are going to tackle what I consider to be the “OG” version of the SCAT, otherwise known as the SAC, or the Standardized Assessment of Concussion. We certainly love acronyms in sports medicine, don’t we? Let’s take the deep dive.

March means two things in the world of sports medicine, not counting March Madness. The first is National Athletic Training Month. The second is Brain Injury Awareness Month. In the world of sport-related concussions, it’s an ideal time to continue to bring awareness about concussions, which are a mild traumatic brain injury.



I thought for this year, I’d try to go through the SCAT, or the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool and talk about what we know from an evidence-based standpoint how each of the components function. Today we are going to tackle the Maddocks questions. It’s time to buckle up as we dive into the SCAT.

We are turning the page from our leap year month into March of 2024. It’s time for National Athletic Training Month again. Each year we highlight several athletic trainers to talk about their roles, some interesting cases, struggles, and advice for those starting out in the field. Today on the podcast, I am joined by three secondary school athletic trainers.
