Sports participation and myocarditis: Influence of sport types on disease severity.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To study, in the context of acute myocarditis (AM) in sportsmen, the association between the category of sport practiced and the severity of AM.

Design

Retrospective study.

Setting

Single tertiary center.

Patients

82 sportspeople (≥2.5 h of sport per week) who presented an AM.

Assessment of risk factors

The type of sport activity before AM were collected.

Main outcome measures

Complicated AM was defined by a left ventricular ejection fraction <50% or the use of inotropic drugs or ventricular assist device.

Results

Mean age was 29 ± 9 year-old, 77 (94%) were men. Sixteen (20%) had a complicated AM. Practicing sport over 6 h a week or a Mitchell's Class IIIA sport were associated with complicated AM (44 vs. 17%, p = 0.019 and 38 vs. 11%, p = 0.008, respectively). Practicing a Mitchell's Class IC sport was associated with uncomplicated AM (6 vs. 38%, p = 0.008).

Conclusion

In sportspeople's AM, the pattern of sport activity (static or dynamic component, practice intensity) is associated with the disease's severity.

Project description:BackgroundTo develop targeted policy strategies to increase sports participation, more insight is needed into the behavioural patterns and preferences of users of different club-organized (i.e., sports clubs) and non-club organized (i.e., gyms, health centres or swimming pools) or informal sports settings such as public spaces. This study investigates 1) how users of different settings differ regarding self-determined motivations and goals, and sociodemographic and sports-related characteristics, and 2) how the association of motivations and goals with sports participation may differ between users of different sports settings.MethodsData were collected through online surveys among Dutch adults aged 18-80 years (N = 910). Ordinal regression analyses were used to investigate the effects of sports settings, the level of self-determined motivations and goals, and interaction effects of motivations and goals with different sports settings, on sports frequency.ResultsUsers of different sports settings differed in their personal characteristics, motivations and goals. In general, controlled motivations were negatively associated with sports frequency (B = -0.46). However, among club members, extrinsic goals related to image (B = 0.44), as well as intrinsic goals related to skill development (B = 0.40) and social affiliation (B = 0.47) had significant positive associations with sports frequency. Health-related goals significantly increased sports frequency among users of informal settings, such as public spaces.ConclusionThe association of motivational variables with sports participation differs between settings. This implies that sports frequency is higher when participants engage in settings that better fit their motivations and goals. Because of the growing importance of informal and flexible settings and health goals, professionals in the sports and health domains should take into account the motivations, goals and needs of different target groups who (want to) use unorganized, informal sports settings including public spaces.
