Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation in Sports

Abstract

In the dynamic world of sports, injuries are an unfortunate but prevalent reality that can significantly impact the performance and career longevity of athletes. This research paper delves into the multifaceted realm of injury prevention and rehabilitation within the context of sports. It provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies employed to minimize the occurrence of sports-related injuries and the innovative approaches used in the rehabilitation process when injuries do occur. The paper begins by examining the fundamental principles of injury prevention, emphasizing the importance of prehabilitation, proper conditioning, and athlete education. It explores the role of sports biomechanics and exercise physiology in tailoring training regimens to mitigate injury risks, with a focus on identifying modifiable risk factors for specific sports and athlete populations.
