Deciding when to return sport after injury is complex and multifactorial-an exercise in risk management. Return decisions are made every day by clinicians, athletes coaches, ideally a collaborative way. The purpose of this consensus statement was present synthesise current evidence make recommendations for decision-making, clinical practice future research directions related returning sport. A half meeting held Bern, Switzerland, the First World Congress Sports Physical Therapy. 17 expert...
Injury and illness surveillance, epidemiological studies, are fundamental elements of concerted efforts to protect the health athlete. To encourage consistency in definitions methodology used, enable data across studies be compared, research groups have published 11 sport-specific or setting-specific consensus statements on sports injury (and, eventually, illness) epidemiology date. Our objective was further strengthen collection, reporting through an updated set recommendations for...
Background Current methods for injury registration in sports epidemiology studies may substantially underestimate the true burden of overuse injuries due to a reliance on time-loss definitions. Objective To develop and validate new method sports. Methods A method, including questionnaire, was developed validated 13-week prospective study among 313 athletes from five different sports, cross-country skiing, floorball, handball, road cycling volleyball. All completed questionnaire by email each...

Aim To determine whether rotator cuff strength, glenohumeral joint range of motion and scapular control are associated with shoulder injuries among elite male handball players. Methods A total 206 players in the Norwegian league for men were tested prior to 2011–2012 season. Measures included: (1) internal external rotation motion, (2) isometric rotation, abduction strength (3) assessment dyskinesis. Players followed prospectively entire regular season (30 weeks), problems registered...

Aim Evaluate the effect of an exercise programme designed to reduce prevalence shoulder in handball. Methods 45 teams (22 female teams, 23 male 660 players) were cluster randomised 331 players intervention group, 329 control group) followed for 1 competitive season (7 months). The Oslo Sports...
What constitutes a ‘recordable event’ is arguably the most critical methodological factor affecting results of sports injury and illness surveillance studies. Although numerous consensus statements have attempted to standardise methodology,1–6 there remains considerable variation in current definitions injury. Underlying choice definition are number practical theoretical issues, including duration setting surveillance, available resources, type injuries illnesses interest, how data be...
In 2013, the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC-O) was developed to record magnitude, symptoms and consequences of overuse injuries in sport. Shortly afterwards, a modified version OSTRC-O capture all types illnesses—The on Health Problems (OSTRC-H). Since then, users from range research clinical environments have identified areas which these questionnaires may be improved. Therefore, structure content reviewed by an international panel consisting original...
Musculoskeletal disorders include more than 150 different conditions affecting joints, muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, and the spine. To capture all health loss from death disability due to musculoskeletal disorders, Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) includes a residual category for other osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, low back pain, neck pain. This is called includes, example, systemic lupus erythematosus spondylopathies. We provide updated...
Background Little epidemiological information exists on overuse injuries in elite road cyclists. Anecdotal reports indicate anterior knee pain and lower back may be common problems. Purpose This study was conducted to register among professional cyclists with special focus pain. Study Design Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods We attended training camps of 7 teams interviewed 109 116 (94%) they had experienced the previous 12 months. Injuries that required attention from medical...
Little is known about the true extent and severity of overuse injuries in sport, largely because methodological challenges involved recording them. This study assessed prevalence among N orwegian athletes from five sports using a newly developed method designed specifically for this purpose. The O slo S ports T rauma R esearch C enter veruse I njury Q uestionnaire was distributed weekly by e‐mail to 45 cross‐country skiers, 98 cyclists, 50 floorball players, 55 handball 65 volleyball players...
Background Groin injuries represent a considerable problem in male football. Previous groin-specific prevention programmes have not shown significant reduction groin injury rates. An exercise programme using the Copenhagen Adduction increases hip adduction strength, key risk factor for injuries. However, its preventive effect is yet to be tested. Aim To evaluate of single-exercise approach, based on exercise, prevalence problems football players. Methods 35 semiprofessional Norwegian teams...
The objective of this study was to estimate the incidence and prevalence injury illness among elite junior tennis players. A cohort 73 players (11-14 years) in 2012-2013 Dutch national high-performance program followed for 32 weeks; all participants completed study. OSTRC Questionnaire on Health Problems used record self-reported injuries illnesses training match exposure. Main outcome measures were average overuse density acute injury. On average, practiced 9.1 h/week (SD 0.6; range...
Background Injury and illness surveillance in the aquatic disciplines has been conducted during FINA World Championships Olympic Games. The development of an aquatic-specific injury system will improve quality data collected preventive measures. Our ultimate objective is to enhance athlete health performance. Objective was refine protocols develop definitions illness; define location causation; better describe overuse injuries; regard pre-existing recurrent more accurately exposures a...
Little is known regarding the overall health of youth elite athletes. Our aim was to describe prevalence and severity problems in a cohort athletes representing variety endurance, team, technical sports. Elite sport (N = 260, 16.2 years) from different Sport Academy High Schools Norway, group their teammates 60, 16.4 attending regular high schools, were included study. The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre ( OSTRC ) questionnaire on used self‐report injuries illnesses for 26 weeks. At any...
The IOC made recommendations for recording and reporting epidemiological data on injuries illness in sports 2020, but with little, if any, focus female athletes. Therefore, the aims of this supplement to consensus statement are (i) propose a taxonomy categorisation athlete health problems across lifespan; (ii) make capture inform consistent symptoms, injuries, illnesses other outcomes injury epidemiology (iii) specifications when applying Strengthening Reporting Observational Studies...

A thorough knowledge of the epidemiology and severity injuries illness in youth female elite sports is lacking due to methodological challenges involved recording them. In this study, prevalence incidence are assessed among athletes. Instead solely focusing on time-loss injuries, our study included all substantial non-substantial health problems (ie, mental illnesses).Sixty young Dutch athletes (age: 16.6 years (SD: 2.3), weight: 58.3 kg 15.1), height: 154.1 cm 44.2)) participating soccer...
