The August issue of MSSE features an important report on the relationship between head impact accelerations and rules infractions during youth ice hockey by Mihalik et al. The investigators related the occurrence and severity of head impacts during youth hockey with the occurrence of rules infractions and the types of infractions. Their data suggest that more rigorous officiating during competition and proper coaching during precompetition may be effective countermeasures to limit head injuries during youth hockey.

In another interesting paper this month, Jago et al. show that while cardiometabolic risk factors are associated with indices of both fitness and fatness, fatness exerted a stronger influence on risk. Finally, Causer et al. describe how a specific measure of eye movement control may distinguish elite performers in shotgun shooting. The findings reported may have relevance for other "target" sports, and could provide insights into how the human mind's perception–action system works during complex motor behaviors.
