What is a Sports Injury?

Abstract: Current sports injury reporting systems lack a common conceptual basis. We propose a conceptual foundation as a basis for the recording of health problems associated with participation in sports, based on the notion of impairment used by the World Health Organization. We provide definitions of sports impairment concepts to represent the perspectives of health services, the participants in sports and physical exercise themselves, and sports institutions. For each perspective, the duration of the causative event… Show more

“…Although the classification of prevention into sequential steps on a pathological basis still is highly relevant, it does not serve to distinguish between interventions that have different epidemiological justifications and require different strategies for optimal outcome. While the mechanisms causing the pathology associated with acute sports injuries may be specific, the same is not true of the chronic conditions that today constitute major causes of disability associated with participation in many sports [10]. For instance, how does a degenerative tendinopathy sustained by an elite high jumper relate to the first pain and reactive episodes causing him time loss from the sport in youth?…”

“…13 In addition to being caused by different mechanisms, health problems are in sports conceived and acted upon differently by different stakeholders, ranging from athletes and coaches to managers of professional clubs and public health agencies, each with specific information needs. 14,15 For instance, typical questions that need answering from a sports medical perspective include: How does an ACL injury affect athlete performance after rehabilitation? and What clinical services are needed to manage a concussion?…”

“…16 We have previously outlined a framework of concepts for reporting injurious consequences of participating in sports. 15 The framework was developed using ramification, i.e. through choice of a central concept and introduction of modifiers that distinguish between alternative meanings (conceptions).…”
