Non-traumatic Injuries in Cycling

Abstract

Non-traumatic (overuse) injuries are commonly reported among cyclists. There are indeed multiple injuries in cyclists which may enhance the referred percentage of total injuries. Different from traumatic injuries, there are potential mechanisms related to the development of overuse injuries, which somewhat limits the proposition of effective preventive strategies.
