This blog has been created to share PubMed search strategies. Search strategies posted here are not perfect. They are posted in the hope that others will benefit from the work already put into their creation and/or will offer suggestions for improvements. Librarians who wish to post comments on this blog or who wish to become authors are invited to e-mail me (Cindy Schmidt). I'm not posting my unmc.edu e-mail address here, but it's easy to find on the web : - ).

Athletics/athletes
Rough draft for a focused search for the "athletics" component of an "athletics-related disease" search:
"Athletes"[mesh] OR "athletic injuries"[mesh] OR ("Sports"[mesh] NOT ("Physical Endurance"[Mesh] OR "Physical Fitness"[Mesh])) OR "Dancing"[mesh] OR "Physical Education AND Training"[mesh] OR "swimming pools"[mesh] OR "sports medicine"[mesh] OR gladiator* OR scrum OR scrums OR rugb* OR "Dancing"[majr] OR "Physical Education AND Training"[majr] OR aerobics[ti] OR calisthenic*[ti] OR "physical education"[ti] OR "physical training"[ti] OR sport[ti] OR sports[ti] OR basketball*[ti] OR baseball*[ti] OR softball*[ti] OR football*[ti] OR volleyball*[ti] OR lacrosse[ti] OR squash[ti] OR hockey[ti] OR soccer[ti] OR rugby[ti] OR ((play[ti] OR plays[ti] OR played[ti] OR playing[ti] OR player*) AND (ball[ti] OR balls[ti] OR tag[ti] OR "hide AND seek"[ti])) OR racquetball*[ti] OR "roller blading"[ti] OR rollerblad*[ti] OR "track AND field"[ti] OR vault*[ti] OR hurdle*[ti] OR marathon*[ti] OR triathlon*[ti] OR biathlon*[ti] OR pentathlon*[ti] OR ((race[ti] OR races[ti]) AND (track OR tracks OR lap OR laps)) OR raced[ti] OR racing[ti] OR races[ti] OR racer*[ti] OR dash[ti] OR dashes[ti] OR dasher*[ti] OR sprint*[ti] OR run[ti] OR runs[ti] OR running[ti] OR ran[ti] OR runner*[ti] OR jog[ti] OR jogs[ti] OR jogging[ti] OR jogged[ti] OR jogger*[ti] OR jump[ti] OR jumps[ti] OR jumped[ti] OR jumping[ti] OR jumper*[ti] OR swimming[ti] OR swim[ti] OR swims[ti] OR swam[ti] OR swimmer*[ti] OR polo[ti] OR canoe*[ti] OR kayak*[ti] OR rowing[ti] OR row[ti] OR rows[ti] OR rowed[ti] OR rower*[ti] OR cycling[ti] OR cyclist*[ti] OR bicycle[ti] OR bicycles[ti] OR bicycling[ti] OR skating[ti] OR skate[ti] OR skates[ti] OR skated[ti] OR skater*[ti] OR ski[ti] OR skis[ti] OR skiing[ti] OR skied[ti] OR skier*[ti] OR snowboard*[ti] OR tennis[ti] OR judo[ti] OR "martial arts"[ti] OR "martial art"[ti] OR (martial[ti] AND (art[ti] OR arts[ti] OR artist*[ti])) OR "martial artists"[ti] OR spar[ti] OR sparred[ti] OR sparring[ti] OR spars[ti] OR jiu-jitsu[ti] OR jiujitsu[ti] OR jujitsu[ti] OR sojutsu[ti] OR defendo[ti] OR karate[ti] OR kenpo[ti] OR kickbox*[ti] OR shinkendo[ti] OR aikido[ti] OR jodo[ti] OR judo[ti] OR kendo[ti] OR kyudo[ti] OR ninjutsu[ti] OR boxing[ti] OR shootfight*[ti] OR taekwondo[ti] OR sumo[ti] OR fencing[ti] OR fence[ti] OR fences[ti] OR fenced[ti] OR fencer*[ti] OR wrestle[ti] OR wrestles[ti] OR wrestling[ti] OR wrestled[ti] OR wrestler*[ti] OR gymnastic*[ti] OR gymnast[ti] OR gymnasts[ti] OR zumba*[ti] OR dance[ti] OR danced[ti] OR dances[ti] OR dancing[ti] OR dancer*[ti] OR ballet[ti] OR ballerina*[ti] OR folkdance*[ti] OR orienteer*[ti] OR hike[ti] OR hikes[ti] OR hiked[ti] OR hiking[ti] OR hiker*[ti] OR climb[ti] OR climbs[ti] OR climbing[ti] OR climber*[ti] OR climbed[ti] OR athlet*[ti] OR gladiator*[ti] OR olympic*[ti] OR para-olympic*[ti] OR play-off* OR playoff*
gladiator* OR scrum* OR rugb* are parts of athletics-specific disease names
For other searches, terms for venues other than "swimming pools" might be needed.
