Description



Methods and approaches to exploring the effects of preventive
interventions: • The importance of study type, particularly concerning evidence
level • The role of randomized controlled trials, prospective studies and
retrospective studies • Risk factors studies • Studies exploring the effects of
interventions on risk factors • Incidence studies, exploring the effects of
interventions on injury occurrence • Methodology of intervention conduction
(control group, tracking the intervention compliance, scheduling of the tests,
follow-up periods) Collecting current evidence on the effects of preventive
interventions: • Systematic literature reviews on particular sport or injury,
with critical analysis • Determining study quality, eliminating studies with
poor quality • The role of meta-analysis • Designing exercise programs based on
collected evidence Epidemiology of sports injuries • Prevalence of injuries of
lower limb, upper limb, and trunk/back in different sports • Prevalence of
specific injuries • The overview of the most important variables in
epidemiology, examples of epidemiological studies and using its findings for
future research and preventive practice Evidence-based interventions for injury
prevention in sport: • Evidence-based exercise to develop strength/power,
flexibility/mobility and postural balance/stability • Exploring
kinematic/kinetic characteristics of specific exercise modalities • Searching
for optimal exercises for eliminating internal risk factors, based on
biomechanical and neuro-muscular consideration • Exploring acute and subacute
physiological and biomechanical effects of specific exercises for developing
strength/power, flexibility/mobility and postural balance/stability
• Integration and periodization of exercise – evidence-based analytic/local
approach • Integration and periodization of exercise – evidence-based
synthetic/global approach • Evidence based designing of mid- and long-term
holistic exercise programs to eliminate internal risk factors and decrease the
occurrence of injuries in sport
