Depressive symptoms in high-performance athletes and non-athletes: a comparative meta-analysis update. [Journal Article]
Br J Sports Med. 2026 Jul 09. [Online ahead of print]Gorczynski P, Bilgoe SC, … Currie ABJ
CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis found no significant difference in depressive symptom prevalence between high-performance athletes and non-athletes. However, both female high-performance athletes and non-athletes report a greater prevalence of depressive symptoms than their male counterparts.

High-impact physical activity participation and 12-month risk of joint replacement: a longitudinal mediation analysis of 17 661 patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis. [Journal Article]
Br J Sports Med. 2026 Jul 09. [Online ahead of print]Liew BXW, Grønne DT, … Skou STBJ
CONCLUSIONS: High-impact PA was associated with a substantially lower risk of THR, and did not increase TKR risk. Clinicians may consider recommending higher-impact activities for individuals with hip OA, and supporting continued participation in knee OA when symptoms, capacity and patient goals allow.

Do blood flow restriction exercises offer additional benefits when compared to conventional exercises in musculoskeletal rehabilitation? A systematic review and meta-analysis. [Journal Article]
Br J Sports Med. 2026 Jul 03. [Online ahead of print]Ferlito JV, Rolnick N, … Hughes LBJ
CONCLUSIONS: Low-certainty evidence indicates that LLE-BFR improves muscle strength and disability compared with LLE. Moderate-certainty evidence showed no clear difference in muscle strength compared with HLE, while evidence for disability was very low certainty, precluding firm conclusions. Prediction intervals were wide for several outcomes. Although pain reductions favoured LLE-BFR, these effects were small and unlikely to be clinically meaningful, and evidence regarding adverse events remains limited.

Prevalence of eating disorders and disordered eating in athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [Systematic Review]
Br J Sports Med. 2026 Jul 08; 60(14):1051-1063.Nasser SN, Martins CB, … Fidalgo TMBJ
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately one in five athletes experience ED or DE, underscoring the magnitude of this issue in sport. These findings highlight the need for validated, athlete-specific screening instruments and tailored prevention and intervention strategies.

Effectiveness of office-based vergence/accommodative therapy with movement for accommodative dysfunction in concussion-related convergence insufficiency: a secondary analysis of the CONCUSS randomised clinical trial. [Journal Article]
Br J Sports Med. 2026 Jul 08. [Online ahead of print]Scheiman M, Alvarez TL, … CONCUSS Investigator GroupBJ
CONCLUSIONS: OBVAM improves accommodative amplitude and facility following concussion. While delayed treatment did not impact the improvement of accommodative function, immediate therapy accelerates recovery and fosters a faster return to activities compared with delayed treatment. The CONCUSS study has previously reported an improvement in oculomotor convergence function, with a reduction in visual symptoms post-OBVAM compared with baseline measurements. If accommodative or convergence dysfunctions are identified in those with persisting symptoms after concussion, then intervention is recommended to expedite return to learn, sports and work.

Optimising exercise prescription for cancer-related fatigue, lean mass, physical function and muscle strength in women with breast cancer: a systematic review with dose-response network meta-analysis. [Journal Article]
Br J Sports Med. 2026 Jun 23. [Online ahead of print]Lopez P, Petropoulou M, … Rech ABJ
CONCLUSIONS: COMB and RE were the most effective interventions across outcomes in women with breast cancer. Benefits for the outcomes assessed in this systematic review with DR-NMA were achieved with exercise doses as low as 10-40 min/week.

Evaluating movement breaks as a public health strategy to mitigate the harms of prolonged sitting: a large-scale pragmatic intervention. [Journal Article]
Br J Sports Med. 2026 Jun 23. [Online ahead of print]Diaz KM, Murdock ME, … Zomorodi MBJ
CONCLUSIONS: In this large-scale, pragmatic intervention, movement breaks demonstrated good implementation potential and effectiveness for improving psychosocial outcomes over the 2-week intervention period. Hourly breaks offered the best balance between feasibility and effectiveness. These findings support movement breaks as a potentially viable public health strategy to reduce the harms of prolonged sedentary behaviour.
