JAT Chat | Pitch Counts Don’t Tell the Whole Story: New Study in Adolescent Pitchers
Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Shelby Baez speaks with Dr. Brett Pexa (High Point University) about the recent publication, "Throwing Load Does Not Affect Musculoskeletal Measures Around Competitive Pitching in Adolescent Baseball Pitchers". This episode explores a study testing whether external load (pitch count), internal load (RPE), or their product (ARM PE) predict changes in shoulder and elbow musculoskeletal measures in adolescent baseball pitchers. Researchers measured range of motion, shoulder strength, and infraspinatus ultrasound before and after p...
JAT Chat | Wearable Tech with Female Endurance Runners
Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Kara Radzak speaks with Dr. Dana Golden about her recent publication, "Gait Biomechanics Among Female Endurance Runners: Comparing Days With and Without Menstrual Cycle–Related Symptoms". The study used RunScribe wearables and daily symptom surveys and found no significant differences in gait mechanics between symptomatic and asymptomatic days, though runners logged fewer runs on symptomatic days. Dr. Golden explains practical implications for athletic trainers—normalizing symptoms, offering reassurance, and using acces...
JAT Chat | Pregnancy and the Athlete: A Call to Action for Athletic Trainers
Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Shelby Baez speaks with Dr. Rachel Geoghegan (A.T. Still University) about her recent publication, "Advancing Care for Pregnant and Postpartum Athletes: A Call to Action for Athletic Trainers". This episode explores the limited evidence around exercise and injury in pregnant and postpartum athletes and emphasizes the vital role athletic trainers play in monitoring health, modifying training, recognizing complications, and supporting mental well-being. Dr. Rachel Gohagan issues a clear call to action...
JAT Chat | Rewiring the Ankle: Can tDCS Improve Chronic Ankle Instability?
Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Kara Radzak speaks with Dr. Alan Needle about the paper, "Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Over the Motor or Frontal Cortex in Patients With Chronic Ankle Instability". The episode explains transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) mechanisms, study design (motor vs frontal vs sham, paired motor-planning rehab), main outcomes (patient-reported improvements across groups, limited neurophysiologic change), and practical implications for incorporating neuromodulatory strategies into athletic training and future research directions. Ar...
JAT Chat | Concussion Anxiety: What Parents Really Fear
Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Shelby Baez speaks with Dr. Erica Beidler (Duquesne University) about her recent publication, "Concussion-Related Anxiety Perceptions of Parents of Youth Athletes". They discuss how parents interpret concussion risks, the study methods focused on football, soccer, ice hockey and lacrosse, and key findings showing high levels of worry—especially among mothers and parents without personal concussion history—while prior education did not reliably lower anxiety. Takeaways include asking parents about their beliefs before givi...
JAT Chat | When Statistical Tests Compound in Sports Medicine Research
Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Kara Radzak speaks with Dr. Travis Anderson and Dr. Eric Post about their recently published article, "Multiplying Alpha: When Statistical Tests Compound in Sports Medicine Research". Drs. Anderson and Post discuss how multiple statistical tests can inflate false-positive rates in sports medicine research, explain family-wise and experiment-wise error, and illustrate risks with a large-scale Paris Olympic Games analysis. They recommend transparency, pre-registration, correction for multiplicity, and consider Bayesian approaches to improve rigor...
