The PERSiST (implementing Prisma in Exercise, Rehabilitation, Sport medicine and SporTs science) guidance: Italian translation

Abstract

Reporting guidelines are international standards that all researchers are required to follow during the writing phase. The implementation of them help the researchers to ensure transparency and reproducibility of the research, the clinicians to understand what was done and why, and the policy makers to implement results in practice. The PRISMA 2020 (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis) is the reporting guideline for systematic reviews. To ease the application of it in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and sports medicine fields, it has been published the 'Prisma in Exercise, Rehabilitation, Sport medicine and SporTs science' (PERSiST), which is the reference standard for the systematic review writing in these fields. For this reason, we have worked on an italian translation of this paper, which we think is useful for everyone who works on research and production of systematic reviews related to these topics. Lastly, we also believe that it can be a useful tool for the writing of a Degree, Master or Doctoral thesis.
