Sport Injuries, Rehabilitation and New Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Regular sport participation has positive implications for public health, including the prevention of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity and well-documented benefits on mental health and quality of life. On the other hand, the high demands placed on the musculoskeletal system by the repetitive technical gestures, the pressing rhythm of training, and the trauma of play increase the risk of injury. This represents a dramatic experience for an athlete and may require a long period away from competition. Advances in sport rehabilitation have helped to optimize rehabilitation plans, facilitating the return to competition. This is possible thanks to advances in physiotherapy and regenerative medicine, which offer new therapeutic approaches to both acute and “overuse” pathologies. In this context, in order to minimize recovery time and time out of competition, it is essential that the medical team find effective, safe, and rapid treatment strategies. Papers addressing these topics are invited for this Special Issue, especially those combining a high academic standard coupled with a practical focus on providing new advances in sport injury rehabilitation.
