The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) to explore the association between self-reported concussion history and prevalence of self-reported lower extremity injury among lacrosse and ice hockey athletes with and without a concussion history and 2) to evaluate if sex is an effect modifier for the association between previous concussion and lower extremity injury. We will utilize an online survey including pre-validating injury history questionnaires (1,2) to conduct a descriptive epidemiological study. These data can be used to better understand the association between concussion history and lower extremity injury while considering sex as an effect modifier.

The purpose of this study is to learn how muscles change when people breathe air with less oxygen, like being high up in the mountains. We will use a safe ultrasound tool, called shear wave elastography, to take pictures of the muscles and see how they react. This information can help scientists understand how the body responds to high altitudes and may help athletes and travelers stay healthy in these conditions.
With the legalization of betting in many U.S. states over the last five years, sports betting company sponsorships are becoming commonplace, partnering with entities (i.e., leagues, teams, athletes) to promote their products, in a historically taboo/illegal market. Prominent partnerships exist between the NFL and sport betting companies DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesar's, and BetMGM. Similarly, the NBA has partnerships with DraftKings and FanDuel. At the team level, FanDuel, currently is in partnership with the more than 21 teams across the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLS, and MLB (FanDuel, 2024). Additionally, numerous professional athletes (both active and former) have signed endorsement deals with major sport betting/gaming companies (e.g., NBA's LeBron James and DraftKings; NFL's Travis and Jason Kelce and PrizePicks). The purpose of this study is to examine differences in fans' attitudes toward the perceived fit of sport betting sponsorship of various sport entities by college-aged individuals.
