Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that a physically active lifestyle and sport participation have the potential to improve health. However, sport participation can increase the risk of sustaining an injury. The most common traumatic injuries in team ball sports, such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, and field hockey, are ligament injuries of the ankle and knee, and overuse injuries, which mostly affect the groin area, represent 5%–10% of all sport-related injuries.
Therefore, sport injury prevention is crucial for maintaining a physically active lifestyle and even increasing sport participation, as well as for maximizing the related health and societal benefits. Moreover, because of the difficulty in implementing prevention protocols and translating them into real-world sport settings, injuries continue to occur. As a result, sport injury rehabilitation requires focused care and a highly structured and sport-specific approach that should prepare both the athlete and the injured tissue for the physical and psychological demands of practicing the sport.
Recently, interest in the issues of sport injury prevention and rehabilitation has increased, and numerous studies and systematic reviews have been performed to evaluate the efficacy of new preventive interventions on the risk of sport injuries and even on reducing the risk of recurrent injury.
In this Special Issue, we are pleased to invite researchers with expertise in the field and in these research areas to submit high-quality articles or reviews concerning new strategies for the prevention and rehabilitation of sport injuries.
