Abstract

We are still faced with a dearth of scientific knowledge on muscle injuries, as the history of science in this field is relatively short. In the present chapter, the current knowledge on acute muscle injuries is placed in the perspective of this limited scientific history and a reflection is given on which directions to go in muscle injury research in future.
