Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optimal athletic training should lead to a high level of performance, but, usually, a high volume of repetition and a lack of variety in movement patterns can result in muscle imbalance, altering tissue stress, which leads to injury. Returning to sport after injury is often a difficult and time-consuming process. However, it is crucial to understand the underlying mechanisms of sports injury, which allow for successive treatment, rehabilitation or sport training individualization. There is a need to define the key performance indicators in the return-to-sport monitoring process and to develop guidelines for effective therapeutic intervention after injuries. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of the advances in the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, with a particular emphasis on all clinical and functional aspects that influence the safe and effective return to sport after an injury. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to highlight the explanations for alterations in the musculoskeletal system, particularly emphasizing mechanisms of tissue overload and injury from the biomechanical, rehabilitation and sport perspectives. Research papers as well as review papers are encouraged.
