Great to hear that that august body of sport in North America, the ACSM, views ongoing discussion and the production of evidence in the field establishing itself as an authoritative reference body for contemporary knowledge.
The ACSM has now suggested that it is serious about retaining a leadership position in evidence-based sports' medicine by recruiting an 'evidence-methods' specialist by the name of Lynette Craft PhD of Northwestern University. The hope is therefore that ACSM becomes a contemporary resource for media & clinicians as well as researchers through their evolving Position Stands and Joint Position Statements which are free to the public online (ACSM Position Stands link).
The Position Stand on Exercise and Fluid Replacement is under discussion since the publication of Tim Noakes' new book on hydration ('Waterlogged: The Serious Problem of Overhydration in Endurance Sports') raised fresh concerns on hyponatremia & excessive fluid intake and there looks to be promise that reviews of this Position Stand will be considered as a result.
We can all look forward to the future and the prospects of this form of evolution and reflective practice affecting everyone involved in sports' medicine.
