Article Abstract
Background: Fear-avoidance beliefs and kinesiophobia can contribute to shoulder pain-related avoidance behavior. In athletes, symptoms may only become apparent during training and competition. To identify shoulder pain-related avoidance behaviors, a standardized screening tool is needed.
Hypothesis: Avoidance of Sports Activities Photo Scale (ASAP-Shoulder-Scale) will demonstrate strong psychometric properties.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Level Of Evidence: Level 3.
Methods: A total of 162 athletes with shoulder pain were recruited for this study. The ASAP-Shoulder-Scale was developed through an item bank compiled from the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), with consensus reached by an expert panel. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to assess test-retest reliability, along with the standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC). For validation purposes, the Avoidance Daily Activities Photo Scale (ADAP), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic-Clinic Shoulder-Elbow Score (KJOC), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), Pain-Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) were used.
Results: A total of 102 preselected activities were evaluated. The scale consisted of 8 activities, with 16 photographic representations that attained 80.0% agreement by the expert panel and demonstrated excellent reliability (ICC, 0.88) with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.95, a SEM of 20.1 points, and a MDC of 55.8 points. The ASAP-Shoulder-Scale showed significant correlations with ADAP, SPADI, TSK, PCD, and FABQ scores, with correlation coefficients ranging between 0.183 and 0.750 ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: The ASAP-Shoulder-Scale is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing avoidance behavior in athletes with shoulder pain.
Clinical Relevance: ASAP-Shoulder-Scale is a novel score to feasibly guide clinicians to monitor avoidance behavior during sports activities. A difference of more than 55.8 points can be accepted as a clinically relevant improvement.

Background: During intense exercise, anaerobic metabolism predominantly produces energy in the body, resulting in lactic acid (LA) accumulation, which contributes to muscle fatigue and soreness and may also impair neurological and cardiovascular functions. In endurance sports, the lactate threshold (LT) is a key indicator of an athlete's capacity to clear and utilize LA, directly influencing athletic performance and endurance. Therefore, LA detection is crucial for assessing the physical condition of both athletes and the general population, as well as for optimizing training programs.

Introduction: Since only around 10% of people with gambling disorder (GD) seek professional treatment or attend self-help groups, multiple strategies are needed to improve this rate. The proposal of the Behavioral Addictions Centre 'Adcom' (Madrid, Spain) is one of these strategies, a pioneering and innovative program aimed at the general population to identify people with addictions such as GD, in an attempt tp offer them appropriate evidence-based treatments.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed information obtained from the first 305 adults who voluntarily sought attention at Adcom for self-referred gambling, and conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study of this population.

Research on sports for persons with disabilities (PWDs) has grown significantly in recent years, particularly in parasports, disability sports, and adapted sports. Numerous studies have consistently highlighted the role of sports as a powerful tool for promoting social integration, enhancing psychological well-being, and improving the physical health of PWDs. However, comprehensive reviews on the development and progression of this field remain limited.

Purpose: Initial studies identified the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform Assessment (PRPP-A) as a cognitive assessment with potential for culturally safe use with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with neurocognitive impairments in the Northern Territory of Australia. This study examines construct and concurrent validity of the PRPP-A.
Methods: Data were collected from a medical record review.
