Activités et grosses
The scientific program was slightly longer than our usual schedule and ran
from Tuesday until Saturday. There was a pleasing mix of presentations including poster sessions, didactic lectures, case studies, research presentations and the ever popular ‘2 minutes 2 slides’. CASM members were integrally involved as speakers and moderators and showcased a truly collaborative effort between the two associations. Special thanks to Dr. Preston
Wiley from Calgary who acted as our representative on the Planning Committee and Dr. Winne Meeuwisse, also of Calgary, who represented the
CJSM.
There was some disappointment that our regular gala evening was not on
the program. The local organizing committee investigated several options but
was unable to find anything at a comfortable price point. Vegas can be an expensive proposition and a gala evening in line with our usual event would
have come in at $200.00 a person. Fortunately, there was no shortage of entertainment options to occupy our time outside of the scientific sessions.
The CASM AGM on Friday afternoon was well attended (the small meeting
room and short time frame will be corrected for next year’s AGM). I will
summarize some of the highlights. As Drs. Lisa Fischer and Pierre Fremont
were completing their terms on the Board of Directors, elections had been
held to fill these slots. It is my pleasure to welcome Dr. Edward Pilat from
Winnipeg and Dr. Alan Vernec from Montreal as our newest board members. I would like to extend sincere thanks to Lisa and Pierre for their hard
work and guidance and look forward to their continued efforts for our
Academy.

President’s Note continued...
This was the first Board of Directors meeting and AGM where the new strategic plan and communications structure were in place. The initial impressions are that it will keep us focused on our organizational mission and objectives and improve communications. As with any new process, there is a learning curve but it does not appear to be too steep.
The topic of Associate Membership was reviewed in depth and a motion from the floor to investigate
this category of membership was defeated. Therefore, CASM will continue to be a physician only professional association.
The meeting provided the opportunity to announce the winners of the inaugural Traveling Scholarships in Sport Medicine and also to honor three of our members.
Dr. Shannon Bauman received $7500.00 to study tendinopathy in Australia and Dr. Michael Koehle
was awarded the same amount and will journey to Nepal to investigate genetics and high altitude adaptation.
The Community Physician of the Year Award was presented to Dr. Renata Frankovich from Ottawa.
She is a primary care sport medicine physician, current Board of Directors member and will travel to
Beijing this summer as a member of the core medical team.
A Life Membership was bestowed on Dr. Steve Radin from London. He has been an Active Member
since the first CASM meeting in Montreal in 1976 and was primarily involved with the sport of wrestling.
A posthumous appointment as an Honorary Member was announced for Dr. Sandy Kirkley of London.
Prior to her untimely death, Sandy’s efforts in promoting research and emphasizing evidence based
sport medicine were a model to all of us. The enduring result of her dedication is the stellar quality of
the scientific sessions at our Annual Symposium and CASM’s continued facilitation of research through
grants and traveling scholarships.
As I wrote this report while sitting in the relative quiet of Toronto’s Pearson Airport awaiting my
connection to the east, I continued to experience the gradual resolution of sensory overload which
began with ‘wheels up’ in Vegas. It was a wonderful week but I’m looking forward to the more familiar
chaos of my work days where I hope to put my newly refined sport medicine knowledge to good use.

Exercise and Pregnancy POSTITION STATEMENT
Dr. Julia Alleyne MD CCFP Dip Sports Med (CASM),Family Physician/Diploma Sport Medicine, Director of Women’s College Hospital Sport CARE Clinic, Toronto,
Ontario, This position Statement was prepared by the Canadian Academy of Sport Medicine Sport Safety Committee. This position statement was
approved by the CASM Board of Directors as a CASM position statement in December 2007.
Introduction:
Current research supports the recommendation that a moderate level of exercise on a regular basis during a low risk pregnancy has minimal risk for the fetus and beneficial metabolic and cardio respiratory effects for the exercising woman. Many
women perceive this life stage as an opportunity to improve their lifestyle and adopt healthier behaviors such as eating a balanced diet and participating in regular physical activity (4, 21, 34).
Recommendations on exercise in pregnancy have undergone significant changes over the last three decades, with initial guidelines in the 1980’s regarded as conservative and lacking scientific support (1) More recent guidelines have been more flexible in
exercise prescription and are now evidence-based. The PARmed-X for Pregnancy tool is recommended to assess the appropriate and safe parameters for medical screening and exercise prescription.
Recommendations for Exercise during Low Risk Pregnancy

Women who have been previously active may continue their exercise during the first trimester to a maximum of 30-40
minutes at a frequency of 3-4 x week as tolerated.

Preliminary studies indicate that the exercising pregnant woman may be able to tolerate mild changes in core body temperature within the established exercise guidelines.

Current literature supports moderate intensity exercise of 2-4 x a week in a pregnant woman without adverse effect
on fetal birth weight.

Studies confirm that guidelines are necessary for maternal exercise because there is still some controversy regarding
the threshold for exercise and fetal stress.

Studies indicate that moderate low impact exercise during pregnancy has not been associated with a reported incidence
of maternal injury; however, the risk for potential maternal injury may occur at higher impact or contact physical activity due to the musculoskeletal changes during pregnancy.

There are defined psychological benefits of exercise during pregnancy that can be attained by moderate physical activity
participation.

Research studies related to exercise in the Post-partum currently support exercise as a therapeutic intervention for
healthy lifestyle without adverse effects.
Exercise Prescription Parameters:
Frequency:

Women who have been exercising prior to pregnancy may continue their regular exercise regimen during pregnancy,
by following the PARmed-X guidelines.

Women who did not exercise regularly prior to pregnancy should not start an exercise program until the second trimester.

It is currently recommended to exercise at a frequency of 3 times per week, progressing to a maximum of 4 to 5 times
Page 5
Intensity:

Heart rate is less reliable in pregnancy for determining exercise intensity.

The modified heart rate target zones, as outlined in the PARmed-X, are recommended for use in measuring exercise intensity in pregnant women.

Borg’s 15-point Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale and the “talk test” are recommended as alternate methods of
quantifying exercise intensity. A target range of 12 to 14 is suggested in pregnancy.

The “talk test” implies that a pregnant woman can carry on a verbal conversation during exercise, if she is exercising
at a safe intensity.
Time:

When first beginning an exercise program, it is recommended that the woman begin with 15 minutes of continuous
exercise.

The duration of exercise may be gradually increased, as pregnancy progresses, to 30 minute sessions.
Type:

Aerobic and strength-conditioning exercises are recommended in pregnancy.

Less strenuous but continuous aerobic exercise (i.e. brisk walking, stationary cycling, cross-country skiing and swimming) are recommended.

Avoid any exposure to hyperbaric, hyperthermic, humid or hypoxic environmental conditions.

Avoid aerobic activities with increased risk of blunt abdominal trauma and loss of balance (i.e. downhill skiing, horseback riding, and gymnastics).

Avoid exercises in supine position after the fourth month of pregnancy, to prevent hypotensive episodes. Avoid
breath-holding during weight-training exercise.

Abdominal exercises are not recommended if diastasis recti develops.

ÉNONCÉ DE POSITION Activité physique et grossesse
Dre. Julia Alleyne MD CCF, dip sport medt (ACMS), médecin de famille, Directrice de la Women’s College Hospital Sport CARE Clinic, Toronto, Ontario,
Cet énoncé de position a été rédigé par le Comité de sécurité de l’Académie canadienne de médecine du sport et a été approuvé par le Conseil de
direction de l’ACMS à titre d’énoncé de position en décembre 2007.
INTRODUCTION
Les données actuelles soutiennent la recommandation qu’un niveau d’exercice modéré sur une base régulière durant la grossesse à faible risque présente un risque minime au fœtus et des effets métabolique et cardiorespiratoire bénéfiques pour la femme
enceinte qui s’adonne à l’activité physique. De nombreuses femmes considèrent cette étape de la vie comme une opportunité
pour améliorer leur style de vie et adoptent des comportements plus sains, comme une alimentation plus équilibrée et la pratique régulière d'une activité physique (4, 21, 34).
D'importantes modifications ont été apportées ces trois dernières décennies aux recommandations concernant l'activité physique durant la grossesse, avec les premières directives des années 1980 étant considérées comme conservatrices et manquant
d'appui scientifique (1). Les directives plus récentes s'avèrent plus souples en ce qui concerne la prescription d'exercice et se
basent dorénavant sur des données probantes. L'outil d'évaluation médicale de l'aptitude à l'activité physique pour les femmes
enceintes (PARmed-X pour femmes enceintes) est recommandé pour déterminer les paramètres appropriés et sans danger en
vue d'une évaluation médicale et de la prescription d'exercice.
Recommandations pour les exercices pendant une grossesse à risque faible

Les femmes ayant pratiqué une activité physique avant la grossesse peuvent continuer leur régime régulier d'exercice
durant le premier trimestre jusqu’à un maximum de 30-40 minutes et au rythme de 3-4 fois par semaine dans la mesure
que c’est toléré.

Des études préliminaires indiquent qu'il est possible que la femme enceinte qui pratique une activité physique soit capable de tolérer de légers changements de la température corporelle centrale selon les directives établies pour l'exercice.

La documentation actuelle conforte l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'activité physique d'intensité modérée de 2 à 4 fois par
semaine pour une femme enceinte est sans effet néfaste sur le poids du fœtus à la naissance.

Des études confirment la nécessité de directives pour l’activité physique maternelle car il subsiste une controverse quant
au niveau seuil de l’activité physique et de la détresse fœtale.

Les études montrent l'absence de rapport entre l'exercice modéré à faible risque de choc durant la grossesse et l'incidence reportée de blessures maternelles; cependant, le risque potentiel de blessure maternelle peut se présenter dans le
cas d'activités physiques de contact ou à fort risque de choc, du fait des modifications musculo-squelettiques durant la
grossesse.

La participation à des activités physiques modérées durant la grossesse permet d'acquérir des avantages psychologiques
certains.

Des études portant sur l'exercice durant le post-partum soutiennent actuellement l'activité physique en tant qu'intervention thérapeutique pour un style de vie sain et sans effets néfastes.
Paramètres pour prescription d’exercices :
Fréquence :

Les femmes ayant pratiqué une activité physique avant la grossesse peuvent continuer leur régime régulier d'exercice
durant la grossesse, conformément aux directives PARmed-X.
Page 7

Les femmes n'ayant pas pratiqué régulièrement une activité physique avant la grossesse ne doivent pas commencer un
programme d'exercice avant le second trimestre.

Il est recommandé actuellement de pratiquer l'exercice au rythme de 3 fois par semaine, pour atteindre progressivement
un maximum de 4 à 5 fois par semaine.
Intensité :

La fréquence cardiaque est moins fiable durant la grossesse pour déterminer l'intensité d'un exercice.

Comme le PARmed-X l'expose, il est recommandé d'utiliser les zones cibles de fréquences cardiaques modifiées pour
mesurer l'intensité d'exercice chez les femmes enceintes.

L'échelle 15-point Évaluation de l'effort perçu (ÉEP) de Borg ainsi que le « test de conversation » sont recommandés en
tant que méthodes alternatives pour quantifier l'intensité d'exercice. On suggère une plage cible de 12 à 14 durant la
grossesse.

Le « test de conversation » implique que la femme enceinte est capable de tenir une conversation tout en pratiquant une
activité physique, dans la mesure où l'intensité de l'exercice ne pose pas de risque.
Temps:

En démarrant un programme d'exercice, il est recommandé à la femme de commencer par 15 minutes d'exercice en
continu.

Au fur et à mesure de la grossesse, la durée de l'exercice peut augmenter pour atteindre 30 minutes par séance.
Type:
Il est recommandé des exercices aérobies et de force durant la grossesse.

Des exercices aérobies moins intensifs mais continus (tels la marche rythmée, le vélo stationnaire, le ski de fond et la
natation) sont recommandés.

Éviter toute exposition aux conditions environnementales hypoxiques, humides, hyperthermiques ou hyperbares.

Éviter les activités aérobies présentant un risque accru de trauma abdominal contondant et de perte de l'équilibre
(comme le ski de descente, l'équitation ou la gymnastique).

Éviter les exercices en position allongée sur le dos après le quatrième mois de grossesse, pour prévenir les épisodes h y potensifs. Éviter l'apnée forcée durant les exercices d'entraînement musculaire.

Les exercices abdominaux ne sont pas recommandés en cas d'apparition d'une diastasis des grands droits.

Eyes and Ears of the COC - a report by Dr. Robert Foxford
CASM is a non-voting G member with the Canadian Olympic Committee
(COC) and I have been fortunate enough to have been the liaison representative between these two organizations over the past year. The purpose of the
position is to have eyes and ears at the COC to learn of issues that affect athletes across Canada, and therefore CASM, and be a part of the planning and
decision making within the COC. Although we are not voting members, the
members of the COC are always eager to hear and interact with service providers, and with this information I report to the board biannually. I would like
to take this opportunity via the CASM newsletter to bring directly to the
members an update on COC activities and future plans.
Robert Foxford, Montreal
I attended the COC annual meeting in Calgary over the April 11-13/08 weekend. I would like to
share with you the following information.
The offices of WADA in Montreal have had their presence extended through to 2021. Their original mandate was only to 2011, and through the efforts of Richard Pound, it has been extended.
The COC has long recognized that the greater Toronto area or golden horseshoe as it is often referred, is void of world class training centers in sport. It was this in mind that a bid for the 2015
Pan Am games is being brought forward. It would be made with the idea of leaving a legacy of facilities post games for this area. More information to follow.
A newly created Youth Olympic Games will begin in 2010 in Singapore, and more information
should be available on the IOC website.
An update on funding for Road to Excellence (summer equivalent to Own the Podium) was given.
The federal government has announced funding of $8 million for 2008/09, $16 million for 2009/10,
and $24 million for each year thereafter. This is a big step forward from last year’s budget where
no $ was put forward towards excellence in summer sport.
The question of a Beijing boycott was raised due to issues in Tibet. The COC made it quite clear
that there would be no boycott, and this would only punish the athletes.
Another WADA item was the new proposal for a new 4 year maximum penalty for a first doping
infraction. And a further WADA item is that now that Richard Pound has stepped down, John
Fahey form Australia will take over as director.
In last year’s assembly, it was announced that medical mission staff may now apply as Chef de Mission for future games. Prior to this amendment, only IOC members could apply.
Page 9
In 2009 an Olympic congress will be held in Paris.
A new reward system was highlighted over the past year where Olympic medallists would be paid
by the federal government up to $20,000.00 per medal.
I was also able to meet with several National Sport Federation representatives who have no organized medical team serving them, and make a pitch for having a CASM diplomat integrate with them
along the Integrated Support Teams model that many NSF’s now employ.
Over the past year I have been able to pursue the following activities:
In July of this past summer, President Lisa Fischer, Dawn Haworth and I met with then newly appointed Road to Excellence director, Alex Baumann. I had met Alex weeks earlier at a COC function, and thought it pertinent to sit down and commence a dialogue with him while letting him know
what CASM was and the challenges we felt were relevant to improving excellence in developing elite
athlete care. It was a great meeting, Alex is a terrific fellow, and was quite eager to hear about us
and what we could offer to Road to Excellence.
We also attempted to tackle a persistent problem for physicians that treat national/international
athletes regarding TUE’s, data collection by CCES, and harmonization of reporting between the different agencies (WADA, IOC, CCES and International Federations). The main problems are:
1.
The request for a TUE is left up to the athlete only, and through experience we know the athletes often neglect this and assume the team or team doctor is responsible. CCES’s position
has been clear – it is the athlete and the athlete only who is responsible for this. We have
tried to have CCES notify the athlete and the physician who signed the form be given a 3
month notification that an a TUE was to expire.
2.
CCES does not collect the same data that the international federations request, and this has
led to difficulty particularly with asthmatics that are appointed to an Olympic or other major
Games just prior to competition (e.g.: hockey and baseball teams prior to Olympics). CCES
does not require flow rates, but the IOC or international federation often or always does.
3.
CCES is not involved with at Games presence for doping issues, and the responsibility of this
usually falls on the CMO and medical team who certainly do not have the resources that
CCES has.
It has been a long process but we are making some inroads on these issues. I hope to have an update on these important issues in the next issue.
I will be continuing my role as CASM/COC liaison this year, and welcome any questions or comments regarding this role from the membership.
Please contact me at [email protected] .

KIDS CORNER LE Coin des enfants
The Pediatric Sport and Exercise Medicine
Committee
I was searching for some online information that would be suitable for parents of a
young patient to read and share with other team parents. I came across “Moms Team”,
an American site for parents of active children. The website homepage states its goal is
“to create a safer, saner, less stressful and more inclusive youth sports experience”.
This website is pretty good- it has a panel of experts who are available to contribute
articles of interest; it has a search engine that actually links the reader to relevant articles. For example, Robert Cantu is the expert for concussion. When I searched for
concussion, an article summarizing the Prague Consensus statement was the second
link. There was also information about the “Balance Error Scoring System”, a sensitive
clinical measure used in post-concussion evaluations.
Other topics such as childhood obesity, abuse in sport, and injury prevention were also
well written or provided links to other articles. Consumer alerts for recalled sports
equipment or food products gave current updates and alerts.
However, I was disappointed to find no information on sports for disabled children and
somewhat dated information on the Female Athlete Triad. The other criticism is that,
although the articles are well written and cite the published literature in the area of interest, no original references are given. And of course there are the usual and often inappropriate pop-up ads in the margins, but these are easily ignored. Despite these
short-comings it is a user friendly and generally informative and accurate site. Have a
look- I would be interested in your thoughts.

from 23 - 25 October 2008.
The theme of this conference Sharing knowledge across the codes recognises the growth
of all codes of football and the opportunity we have for learning from each other. Medical and sports science has developed along different streams in each code and much can
be learnt from these various perspectives to the problems we face. We also must recognise the growing numbers of women playing football and the different challenges this
provides.
The conference is also proud to join with the Australasian College of Sports Physicians
for its 23rd annual scientific meeting which will precede Football Australasia 2008.
