Braz J Phys Ther. 2022 May-Jun;26(3):100394. doi: 10.1016/j.bjpt.2022.100394. Epub 2022 Feb 12.

Abstract

  1. To individualise injury risk reduction measures could help to better match athlete's individual characteristics and should thus improve their effectiveness.

  2. To individualise injury risk reduction measures could help to improve athlete adherence into such measures and consequently their effectiveness.

  3. This maximised individualised approach is proposed to be used whatever the sport (i.e., individual and teams sports) in both scientific studies and real-world settings, with an end-user centred approach (especially athlete-centred approach) and a co-construction of the injury risk reduction measures with all stakeholders.
