Respiratory viral infections in professional ice hockey teams—a one-season observational study

Methods: A total of 81 players and 18 staff members were prospectively followed during a 7-month season. Nasal swabs for the detection of 16 respiratory viruses and rhin…
Psychosocial and health behavioural characteristics of longitudinal physical activity patterns
Diverse factors characterise longitudinal PA patterns over the transition to young adulthood. Sports club participation contributes to maintained PA. Moreover, a father-adolescent relationship that supports open communication may be one determinant for sustained PA during adolescence. A healthier diet and non-smoking as a young adult are associated with more favourable PA development
