This review aims to systematically review and synthesise the best available epidemiological data on competition and...
Objectives: To describe and compare the epidemiology of competition injuries in unarmed combat sports (ie, boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling) in three consecutive Olympic Games.
Methods: Prospective cohort study using injury data from the IOC injury surveillance system and exposure data from official tournament records at three consecutive Oly...
IntroductionPrimary degenerative scoliosis represents a new scoliosis developing in patients with no prior history of spinal curvature. Researchers sought to determine the prevalence of this type of scoliosis.MethodsMEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science and PubMed were searched from inception to 28th March, 2018.

sports has been hampered by methodological heterogeneity (e.g. operational injury definitions, measures of exposure, and context of
injury surveillance) across studies. In the present study, the challenges with...
