In addition to providing the most up-to-date interpretations of these findings, this statement moves beyond typical journal article content with both its extent of linked multimedia (i.e., PowerPoint slides for 20 high-yield figures) and associated learning resources (i.e., BMJ's online training course for ECG interpretation). The web page includes a frequently referenced and clinically invaluable summary diagram of normal, borderline, and abnormal findings to guide interpretation and management of athlete ECG. The text of the article provides clinically applicable evaluation and management pearls for each of the findings in the quick reference guide. In addition, the article concludes with useful insight regarding special populations (i.e., age >30, high-risk family history) and psychological considerations in athletes with high-risk cardiac conditions. This statement and accompanying content comprise a quick-access clinical reference for all physicians who interpret ECG in athletes.

Cost: Free Make Your Body Work: Web site: https://makeyourbodywork.com/ Description: Make Your Body Work is a web site created by a Canadian personal trainer named Dave Smith for the purposes of helping individuals meet their fitness and body image goals. This web site uses an initial weight loss assessment tool based on sex, age, personal body image concerns, prior weight loss attempts, prior weight loss results, current exercise routine, and weight loss/fitness goals. This information is then used to educate patients on the pitfalls of high-intensity exercise to meet their goals including evidence-based rationale for why this approach is often unsuccessful. While the web site offers a paid fitness program based on low-intensity training principles, there are podcast and blog links with free information to help patients better understand Smith's safe approach to improving fitness. He also maintains a publicly accessible YouTube account (linked on above web site) with short instructional videos for a variety of exercises and further information about low-intensity exercise. This web site is primarily useful to sports medicine providers as a resource for patients who have been struggling with weight loss and are interested in an alternative, safe, effective option.
