PRESIDENT’S NOTE
Dr. Pierre Frémont
CASEM President 2013-2014
Another great year for CASEM!
Prevention of ACL injuries, concussions, exercise for health, FIMS 2014: the members of CASEM are, more
than ever, leading the action!
Under the leadership of Cathy Campbell and Jim Carson, a team involving many other CASEM members recently published our most recent position statement on the potential of neuromuscular training to decrease the
incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in youth soccer players. I hope that many other CASEM members, guided by the key messages of this paper, will be leaders of change for the benefit of young athletes in
their community. BRAVO to the whole team!
When I accepted the role of president at the 2013 AGM, I said I would make the better management of concussions “at all levels of participation” a priority of my mandate. Through the leadership of CASEM within the
Canadian Concussion Collaborative (CCC), I feel that this objective was achieved. To find out more, visit the
CCC webpage on the CASEM website. Also, expect the publication of joint recommendations by the CCC
member associations in the upcoming months!
CASEM, represented by Renata Frankovich, is also a key player in the multidisciplinary initiative EXERCISE
IS MEDICINE CANADA (EIMC). With the financial support of CASEM and 4 other organisations (CCFP,
CSEP, CPA and RCCSS), EIMC has developed a tool that supports the evaluation and prescription of healthy
physical activity behaviour to adults in primary care. For more details and to access the exercise prescription
tool, consult the EIMC webpage on the CASEM website. A formal publication describing this tool was accepted by the Canadian Family Physician should be published in the upcoming months.
In just a few weeks, with the collaboration of the Association Québécoise des Médecins du Sport (AQMS),
CASEM will host the world community of sport medicine for the FIMS 2014 Congress! I hope to have the
pleasure to welcome you in my beautiful hometown, Quebec City! I want to congratulate the organising committee for bringing together an impressive group of Quebec, Canadian and international experts on the most
current topics in the field of sport and exercise medicine. For more details, visit the congress website:
www.fims2014.org
As a good sportsman and approaching the term of my brief mandate, I feel I gave the best I could to sport and
exercise medicine… but it was only possible because my friends, the passionate members of CASEM, and the
head office team, under the fantastic leadership of Dawn Haworth, who instilled and nurtured in me a passion
for sport medicine!
THANK YOU ALL for your trust!!!

MOT DU PRÉSIDENT
Dr. Pierre Frémont
CASEM President 2013-2014
Une autre belle année pour l’ACMSE!
Préventions des blessures au LCA, commotions cérébrales, exercice pour la santé, FIMS 2014 : les membres de
CASEM sont, plus que jamais, au cœur de l’action!
Sous le leadership de Cathy Campbell et Jim Carson, une équipe comportant de nombreux membres de l
’ACMSE a récemment publié dans le CJSM notre plus récent énoncé de position concernant le potentiel de
l’entrainement neuromusculaire pour réduire l’incidence des lésions du LCA chez les jeunes joueurs de soccer.
J’espère que plusieurs autres membres de l’Association, guidés par les messages clés de cet énoncé, seront des
acteurs de changement au plus grand bénéfice des jeunes sportifs dans leur communauté. BRAVO à toute
l’équipe!
En acceptant le mandat de président lors de l’AGA de 2013, je m’étais engagé à faire progresser la cause de « la
gestion adéquate des commotions cérébrales à tous les niveaux de participation ». À travers le leadership de
l’ACMSE au sein de la Collaboration Canadienne sur les Commotions cérébrales (CCC), j’ai le sentiment
d’avoir atteint cet objectif. Pour en savoir plus, visitez la page web de la CCC sur le site de l’ACMSE. Soyez
attentifs pour la publication prochaine d’un énoncé de recommandations conjointes des associations membres de
la CCC!
L’ACMSE, représentée par Renata Frankovich, est aussi étroitement impliquée dans l’initiative multidisciplinaire L’EXERCICE : UN MÉDICAMENT CANADA (EIMC). Avec le support financier de l’ACMSE et de
4 autres associations (CCMF, CSEP, CPA et RCCSS), EIMC a développé un outil visant à supporter l’évaluation
et la prescription formelle de saines habitudes d’activité physique aux adultes en soins de première ligne. Pour
plus de détails et pour obtenir l’outil de prescription, visitez la page web de EIMC sur le site web de l’ACMSE.
Une publication récemment acceptée par le Médecin de Famille Canadien va présenter cet outil de façon plus
formelle au cours des prochains mois.
L’ACMSE, en collaboration avec l’Association Québécoise des Médecins du Sport (AQMS) est également sur le
point d’accueillir la communauté mondiale de médecine du sport à l’occasion du congrès FIMS 2014! J’espère
avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir chez moi dans le cadre enchanteur de la belle ville de Québec!!! Je souhaite
féliciter le comité organisateur qui a réuni un impressionnant groupe d’expert québécois, canadiens et
internationaux sur les sujets les plus actuels en médecine du sport et de l’exercice. Pour plus de détails, visitez le
site www.fims2014.org .
En bon sportif et à l’approche du terme de ce bref mandat comme président, je crois avoir donné « mon 110% »
pour l’avancement de la médecine du sport et de l’exercice… mais ce fut possible parce que mes amis les
membres passionnés de l’ACMSE et l’équipe de notre bureau chef sous la gouverne de notre fantastique
Dawm Haworth ont fait naitr e et ont entr etenu chez moi la passion de la médecine du spor t!
MERCI À TOUS pour votre confiance!!!

ACL press release
ACL knee injuries – an ounce of prevention is priceless!
OTTAWA, 30th April 2014 - Nearly a quarter of a million anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur
each year in North America in athletes who participate in high demand sports such as soccer, football,
and basketball.
A major injury prevention position statement released today by the Canadian Academy of Sport &
Exercise Medicine (CASEM) and published in the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine (CJSM) concludes
that youth soccer players and their coaches can significantly decrease the incidence of ACL injuries by
incorporating neuromuscular training (NMT) into their warm-up routines. NMT involves doing specific
agility and strength training activities. NMT should be incorporated into routine practices and warm ups
and should begin, at the very latest, in the early teenage years. “These warm up exercises, carried out
correctly, will keep the athletes on the field instead of in our offices”, states Dr. Cathy Campbell,
co-author of the new position statement and team doctor for the Canadian women’s soccer team.
CASEM recommends a Canada-wide approach and advocates that all Canadian youth soccer players
should have NMT incorporated into their programs. The Canadian Soccer Association (CSA), the
governing body for soccer in Canada, endorses CASEM's position statement and supports this injury
prevention program aimed at protecting athlete’s health and allowing them to perform at the highest
level. Dr Robert McCormack, one of four orthopaedic surgeons authoring this position statement, is
also the medical representative on the CSA Medical Committee and Chief Medical Officer of the
Canadian Olympic Committee and he agrees that "there is an important need to address the epidemic
of these serious injuries".
FIFA, soccer’s international governing body, has adopted the FIFA 11+ program which mandates a
complete warm-up programme to reduce injuries among male and female football players aged 14
years and older. The use of this type of program has resulted in a 52-72% reduction in ACL injury in
girls and an 85% reduction in boys.
Dr. James Carson, who is also a co-author of this position statement and a physician for the Seneca
College Varsity Athletes program, sums it up by saying, "This is a bad injury which usually requires
major surgery, so it's important for soccer coaches across Canada to help save kids' knees."

CONSENSUS STATEMENT
Time for change: a roadmap to guide the implementation of
the World Anti-Doping Code 2015

Abstract
A medical and scientific multidisciplinary consensus meeting was held from 29 to 30 November 2013 on
Anti-Doping in Sport at the Home of FIFA in Zurich, Switzerland, to create a roadmap for the implementation of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code. The consensus statement and accompanying papers set out
the priorities for the antidoping community in research, science and medicine. The participants achieved
consensus on a strategy for the implementation of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code. Key components
of this strategy include: (1) sport-specific risk assessment, (2) prevalence measurement, (3) sport-specific
test distribution plans, (4) storage and reanalysis, (5) analytical challenges, (6) forensic intelligence, (7)
psychological approach to optimise the most deterrent effect, (8) the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP)
and confounding factors, (9) data management system (Anti-Doping Administration & Management System (ADAMS), (10) education, (11) research needs and necessary advances, (12) inadvertent doping and
(13) management and ethics: biological data. True implementation of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code
will depend largely on the ability to align thinking around these core concepts and strategies. FIFA, jointly with all other engaged International Federations of sports (Ifs), the International Olympic Committee
(IOC) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), are ideally placed to lead transformational change with
the unwavering support of the wider antidoping community. The outcome of the consensus meeting was
the creation of the ad hoc Working Group charged with the responsibility of moving this agenda forward.
