Zusammenfassung

Das Thema Verletzungen im Leistungssport wird in der Regel als eine Domäne der medizinischen und psychologischen Forschung angesehen. Der vorliegende Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die soziologische Perspektive zu Verletzungen im Leistungssport. Neben Erkenntnissen zur Kultur des Risikos, zu medizinischen Behandlungspraxen und zur Steuerung der sportmedizinischen Betreuung zeigt die Literaturanalyse auch offene praxisrelevante Fragen auf, zu deren Beantwortung die Sportsoziologie einen wichtigen Beitrag leisten kann. Perspektiven für weitere Studien ergeben sich von der Analyse sozialer Dynamiken der Verletzungen, über Handlungszwänge der Beteiligten bei der Behandlung und Rehabilitation bis hin zur Steuerung der komplexen Beziehungsgeflechte in Präventions-, Behandlungs- und Rehabilitationsprozessen.

Abstract

Injury in competitive sport is widely seen as a topic within the medical and psychological domain. This article gives an overview of sociological research on dealing with injury in competitive sport. Besides findings of a culture of risk, medical treatment practices and the governance of medical support systems, there are still many unanswered questions to which the sociology of sport could make a relevant contribution. Perspectives for future studies correspond with the social dynamics of injury, the structural role constraints in a medical treatment or rehabilitation context, and the governance of complex social networks for injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation processes.
