Warm up
Going up or going down. We give you a choice. You can explore the difficulties of supervising sport diving in Scotland and the outcome of systematic medical screening (page 375). Find out what happened to all those medical certificates! Or, you can study the physiological makeup of people who climb walls (page 359). Perhaps they need to be certified.If it is injury you want, we have plenty in this issue. In particular, we present the harmful effects of contact sport at the highest level. Top level sport doesn't sound very attractive when you review the long term sequelae of playing professional soccer (page 332). The effect of professionalism on rugby football does not present a happy picture either (page 348). And, it seems intuitively wrong that we should have to present data on how to reduce the effect of impact on football headgear (page 337). Sport in the extreme.
