Today I decided to cover a section from the next category that is very different from the vaccine section that was covered last week. 

03. PRETRAVEL ASSESSMENT/CONSULTATION (35%)

05. Athletes

I wasn’t able to find a comprehensive discussion anywhere about pretravel consideration for athletes; however, the CDC Yellow book has an excellent section about adventure travel in Chapter 9.  Most of what I found available online was discussing preparations and treatments for jet lag and travel fatigue to help athletes improve their performance while travelling.

This is an excellent comprehensive article by the NIH on travel considerations for athletes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8279034/

The topic has also been addressed by the BMJ in a review article on the management of travel fatigue and jet lag in athletes: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/54/16/960 Additionally, this website has good information for athletes on travelling: https://musculoskeletalkey.com/travel-considerations-for-the-athlete-and-sports-medical-team/  They cover everything from pre-travel to post-travel considerations.
