Sport and Exercise Injury

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there has been a proliferation of scientific publications demonstrating the importance of recording data associated with sports injuries as a mechanism for subsequent prevention protocols. It has been shown that injuries in sportsmen and women represent large losses of millions of dollars for clubs. For this reason, the emergence of professional figures dedicated to the analysis of data in a multidisciplinary work in harmony with other health professionals of sports entities such as doctors, physical trainers or physiotherapists is becoming increasingly frequent.

The epidemiology of the injury itself, identification, treatment, the process of returning to top-level competition and prevention are fundamental aspects in this field of knowledge that will allow the reduction in time off work for sportsmen and women.

This Special Issue offers the opportunity to publish multidisciplinary research on injuries. We are interested in high-quality original research and review papers in different sports.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
