Bulletin of The British Association of Sport and Medicine

SECRETARY'S COLUMN, NOVEMBER, 1977

Changes are afoot in sports medicine in Britain and since the last Secretary's column earlier this year think one cansay firmly that the bandwagon is beginning to roll.

Since that time some important things have happened, all of which may play an important part in the developmentof sports medicine.

The appointment of Dr. Harry Thomason to the Chair of P.E. at Loughborough means that there is a very realpossibility of this excellent campus, now fully absorbed into the University of Technology, to provide a firm academicbase for much of the non-clinical work of sports medicine with possibilities of developing overlap into more clinicalfields.

Secondly, things are looking up in sports physiotherapy. Not only was the annual meeting of the Association ofChartered Physiotherapists in Sports Medicine as successful as ever but for once there is a possibility of a major revisionof the British Olympic Association's medical services which will include the opportunity for selecting a completely newteam of physiotherapists which will surely increase that profession's optimism and development in this field.

Behind the scenes, the determination of The Sports Council to see action rather than several more rounds of words isimportant. Several visits have been made to the Department of Health on questions related to sports medicine, exercise,and health though it is disappointing to say that the usual negative response has been received in that quarter. However,a sure sign of bandwagons rolling is the increasing willingness of established figures and institutions in higher medicineto proffer advice on sports medical subjects. This trend is to be welcomed, with the usual caveat that people are best atgiving advice which relates to their own personal fields of experience.

One note of caution must be sounded. A massive campaign linking exercise and health is to be launched in thecoming year by a consortium of Sports Council, Health Education Council and B.B.C. My personal views are clear onthis and have been published elsewhere. I feel that this massive diversion of funds towards vaguely defined healthtargets is not justified on the scale being envisaged in the light of epidemiological evidence so far available. That is tosay, while one welcomes anything which can help sports medicine to develop, one wonders whether, for instance, theSports Council's share of a quarter of a million pounds might not be better invested in some more practical facilities,rather than disappearing into the pockets of publicity agents of various sorts. A major national, indeed international,problem in sport and recreation is the problem of non-participation, be it by school leavers, in the so-called Wolfendengap, or housewives who are not getting their share of recreational activity or in ethnic minority groups. If this is amatter of looking at a large percentage of the population who simply don't take exercise, and surely overlaps with theproblems of P.E. and recreation in the school curriculum, then one would hope that The Sports Council's investment ofthirteen thousand pounds in a study of non-participation might be an essential preliminary step to investment on a

larger scale. The harsh realities of the economic situation mean that money for A can often only be found by removingit from B and C. This is true in sports medicine where we have to develop it from a budget of nil, only by trading off itspotential benefits against other investment, unless we can persuade totally new sources to give us funds.

B.A.S.M. as a result of the Annual General Meeting and its re-elections is now in the middle of an agonizingre-appraisal and will, no doubt shortly, emerge with some fairly radical proposars for streamlining theorganisation andstructure of B.A.S.M. We should now be thinking in terms of setting up a three or five year plan of action involvingmuch closer co-operation between the various factions represented by B.A.S.M., streamlining the journal, increasing our

academic activities and, who knows, moving towards the provision of services one of these years.

This will be in accordance with the purpose of the International Federation of Sports Medicine("F.l.M.S.") and its Scientific Committee. Topics will be discussed in separate sessions, whichare of interest to persons in the following areas:1. Applied Physiology 5. Traumatology2. Biomechanics 6. Rehabilitation3. Kinanthropometry 7. Biochemistry of Exercise4. Applied Psychology 8. Training

The papers must be unpublished and based on original experimental investigation. Authors who wish topresent papers must submit abstracts in English prior to March 31st 1978. Complete texts, in English, of allmanuscripts must be received prior to June 31st 1978.

Negotiations are in progress with Kuoni Travel Service. A two-week stay in Rio is offered forabout £520, but other holidays with a chance to see the country are available at around£620. It might be possible to arrange a trip that would include some sight-seeing as well asthe conference in Brazilia if there are enough delegates to make it worth approaching thecompany.

It would appear that a reasonable visit to Brazil, which includes the Congress, could be made for about £750, or the tripof a life-time for £1,000. The airline concerned is Caledonian.

Enquiries are being made from other agencies and airlines, but is not anticipated that anything less expensive will beoffered, unless a cheap New York to Brazilia flight is available to link up with Laker Walk-on flights, but of course noaccommodation will be available.

The fourth course run by the British Association of Sport and Medicine willtake place at the University of Loughborough, Leicestershire, from April 2nd

- 7th, 1978. The syllabus generally will follow that of previous courses.

Recognition is being sought for post-graduate training for general practitioners

under Section 63.

FEES. The inclusive charge for this residential course will be £75, but

a reduced fee will be charged to those attending daily and not needingresidential accommodation. The much increased charge is necessitated by

197

the withdrawal of subsidies from institutions offering accommodation for

conferences.

FURTHER DETAILS will be available at a later date, and will be published in

the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Applications and enquiries should

be sent to Dr. H. E. Robson, address above. The number of places will be

limited, so early application is advised to secure residential accommodation

to be limited in view of the present economic conditions.

CONTENTS OF THE COURSE will include exercise physiology, effects of environment

on the sportsman, the diagnosis and treatment of acute and overuse injuries,

medical and psychological conditions affecting individuals and teams, etc.,

and though of interest to doctors, should also be of benefit to physiotherapists

and sports scientists.

NOMENCLATURE. Drugs should be specified by their offi-cial name, followed by the trade name and manufacturer's namein brackets if well known and widely prescribed under its tradename. Doses should be in metric measurements.

Until there is complete acceptance of S.I. units, physiologicalparameters should be expressed in S.l. units and followed by the

more familiar measurement in brackets. Conversions to otherunits should be rounded off in a meaningful manner; un-necessary decimal places are usually due to the mechanics of thecomputor, and not to accurate scientific measurement.

REFERENCES mentioned in the text should give the nameof the author, or first two authors followed by et al for multi-author papers, with the date of publication in brackets, e.g."Wright, Clarke et al (1976)". In the reference section, theauthors' names should be arranged in alphabetical order, fol-lowed by year of publication, title of paper, journal, volumenumber double underlined, and first and last pages, e.g."WRIGHT, G., CLARKE, J., NINIMAA, V. & SHEPHARD, R.J. 1976 'Some reactions to a dry-land training programme fordinghy sailors' Brit.Journ.Sports Med. 10 4-10".
