Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An increase in physical performance is an essential component for the success of an athlete, especially in high-performance sports. High power density and the associated high physical stress and strain in training and competition can lead to sports injuries. In addition to acute injuries, overuse complaints are a major cause of training and competition failures.
This also applies to amateur athletes. In particular, the often not-so-intensive medical care of these athletes can lead to unrecognized or unconsidered musculoskeletal injuries.
Prevention is an essential pillar for successful competition preparation and implementation. However, even when symptoms occur, acute therapy and the rehabilitation of (top) athletes are essential components for a successful return to (competitive) sport.
Papers addressing these topics are invited to be submitted to this Special Issue, especially those combining a high academic standard coupled with a practical focus on providing optimal prevention, acute care and rehabilitation for athletes.
