Abstract

Even with innovative warm-up, conditioning, and rule/regulation modifications, sport injuries cannot be completely avoided. This chapter discusses sport injury prevention with consideration of intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors, inciting events, overreaching and overtraining, biomechanical and epidemiological sport injury models, primary, secondary and tertiary sport injury prevention, objectively appraising individual characteristics, and practical examples of injury prevention interventions related to specific sports.
