Sports Injuries: Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Sports injuries remain a significant challenge for athletes, coaches, and medical professionals, impacting performance, career longevity, and overall well-being. The complexity of sports-related injuries, ranging from acute trauma to chronic overuse conditions, necessitates a multidisciplinary approach to understanding, preventing, and managing these conditions. Injury rehabilitation and return to sport require specific treatment strategies and a well-organized, sport-specific approach, preparing athletes for the physical, physiological, and psychological demands of sport while minimizing the risk of reinjury.

Building on the contributions of the first volume, this second Special Issue aims to advance current knowledge even further by providing a platform for novel research addressing the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports injuries across different levels of competition and athletic disciplines. We welcome submissions that explore innovative injury-prevention strategies, including biomechanical analyses, wearable technology, complex interventions, and injury risk screening. Articles focusing on recent surgical advancements, evidence-based treatment modalities, and novel rehabilitation and return-to-sport approaches are also encouraged.

Moreover, we welcome research investigating the psychological and social aspects of injury recovery, as well as interdisciplinary studies connecting sports science, medicine, and rehabilitation. Whether your work focuses on elite performance or recreational sport, we encourage you to share your latest findings and contribute to the continued development of knowledge and evidence-based practice in this important field.
