La prévention des blessures sportives : modèles théoriques et éléments-clés d'une stratégie efficace

Research topic about sport injury prevention has importantly increased these last years. Several theoretical models have been developed with the aim of helping sport and medical staffs with preventive strategies, and many studies have demonstrated the high efficacy of preventive programs if quality conditions are met. Among these models, at least two “sports injury risk management approaches” have been recently described and their relevance needs to be confirmed by further research. In order to maximize efficacy, preventive strategies should include: pre-competition medical assessment, actions to decrease multiple risk factors at the same time, maximal compliance, training load quantification and monitoring.
