We hope you enjoyed the Easter break! While March teased us with glimpses of Spring, we were reminded that the weather can pose its own challenges to outdoor sports.
Undeterred, the six nations rugby brought both thrills and heartache, and the F1 season hit the tarmac with news that F1 bosses are going to redesign the 2024 race calendar in order to reduce the number of long-haul flights needed.
Meanwhile, here is a summary of some of the research and articles you may have missed last month.
If you have any suggestions for resources, studies or events for inclusion in future bulletins, please do let us know.
