Abstract
OVERVIEW
• Sports injury and illness epidemiology research is continuing to
grow
• Study design and methods can influence the conclusions made
• The definition of injury/illness, and rate and severity indices
should be appropriate to the cohort of interest
• Identifying injury and illness causes will help to provide
additional risk information
• Prevention initiatives should target the injury/illness issues posing
the greatest risk
