Purpose To describe injury incidence, time trends in injury incidence, and injury characteristics among Swedish Olympic athletes over 22 years based on insurance data, as a first step to inform injury preventive measures among Olympic athletes. Methods The cohort comprised 762 elite athletes (54% males; age 26.5 ± 5.9 years) in 38 sports in the Swedish Olympic Committee support program ‘Top and Talent’ between 1999 and 2020, with total 3427 athlete-years included. Acute and gradual onset injuries were reported to the insurance registry by the athletes’ medical staff. Results A total of 1635 injuries in 468 athletes were registered. The overall injury incidence was 47.7 injuries/100 athlete-years (one injury per athlete every second year). An increasing trend in injury incidence was observed in the first decade 2001 to 2010 (annual change 6.0%, 95% CI 3.3–8.8%), while in the second decade 2011 to 2020 no change was evident (0.4%, 95% CI − 1.9 to 2.7%). Gymnastics, tennis, and athletics had the highest incidence (100.0, 99.3, and 93.4 injuries/100 athlete-years, respectively). Among sport categories, mixed and power sports had the highest incidence (72.8 and 69.5 injuries/100 athlete-years, respectively). Higher incidences were seen in the younger age groups (≤ 25 years) in mixed and skill sports. The injury incidence was comparable between male and female athletes, and summer and winter sports. Most injuries occurred in the lower limb, and specifically the knee (24%), foot/ankle (15%) and spine/pelvis (13%). Conclusion The results on injury patterns in different sports and age groups may guide preventive focus for health and performance teams working with Olympic athletes. Level of evidence II.
Apesar do grande crescimento no número de artigos em administração publicados durante as últimas três décadas, existe uma escassez de pesquisas de alto impacto em estudos sobre administração. Acreditamos que a principal razão por trás desta escassez paradoxal é o predomínio quase total de pesquisas de identificação de lacunas 2 em estudos sobre administração. Este predomínio é ainda mais paradoxal uma vez que é sabido que pesquisas de identificação de lacunas raramente culminam em teorias influentes. Identificamos três principais forças agindo por trás desse duplo paradoxo: condições institucionais, normas profissionais e as construções de identidade dos pesquisadores. Discutimos o quanto algumas mudanças específicas nestas forças podem reduzir a escassez de teorias influentes de estudos em administração. Também apontamos para duas metodologias que podem encorajar e facilitar uma pesquisa mais construtiva e inovadora e revisões de normas e identidades acadêmicas.Desenvolvimento de Teorias. Problematização. Métodos de Pesquisa. Problemas de Pesquisa. Questões sobre Pesquisa.Despite the huge increase in the number of management articles published during the three last decades, there is a serious shortage of high-impact research in management studies. We contend that a primary reason behind this paradoxical shortage is the near total dominance of incremental gapspotting research in management. This domination is even more paradoxical as it is well known that gap-spotting rarely leads to influential theories. We identify three broad and interacting key drivers behind this double paradox: institutional conditions, professional norms, and researchers' identity constructions. We discuss how specific changes in these drivers can reduce the shortage of influential management theories. We also point to
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
