Prevention and rehabilitation of sports injuries
Regularly playing sports or exercising is becoming an
important part of a healthy life style. As the population
playing sports and exercising is increasing, incidents of sports
injuries are also increasing. Sports injuries result in devastating physical, psychological, and financial consequences and
significantly impact the level of activity and quality of life of
patients, which have not been fully recognized by our society.
Preventing sports injuries and improving rehabilitation of
sports injuries are challenging tasks for scientists and clinicians.
Mechanisms and risk factors for many sports injuries are still
unknown, which is a major obstacle to the prevention and
rehabilitation of the injuries. Scientists and clinicians made
tremendous efforts in the past several decades and are
increasing their efforts to understand mechanisms and risk
factors of different sports injuries. To reflect these efforts,
Journal of Sport and Health Science (JSHS) published this
special issue focused on prevention and rehabilitation of sports
injuries. This special issue includes several outstanding review
and original research articles on ankle sprain injuries,1,2
hamstring muscle strain injury,3 shoulder injuries in baseball
pitching,4 core stability,5 and anthropometrics and electromyography as predictors.6 One of the articles is focused on the
psychological effects of sports injuries to adolescents,7 which is
a significant issue that has been largely ignored in the prevention and rehabilitation of sports injuries. Many of the authors of
these articles are internationally recognized experts in prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports injuries. These
articles provide significant information not only for research
and clinical practice in prevention and rehabilitation of specific
sports injuries but also for research and clinical practice in
prevention and rehabilitation of sports injuries in general.
On behalf of JSHS, I would like to thank all the contributors to this special issue for their outstanding research work.
The original quality of their contributions is the key for the
success of this special issue and greatly appreciated. I would
also like to thank all the reviewers of this special issue for their
efforts to improve the quality of the contributing articles.
Finally I would like to thank Ms. Carol Zhang of the Editorial
Office of JSHS for her assistance in organizing this special
issue.
