  • Injuries commonly affect the shoulder, back, and knee.
  • Intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors are implicated and can be assessed through pre-participation exams.

    • Conclusions:

    • Variability in study populations and methods limits definitive conclusions on causative factors.
    • Further longitudinal prospective studies are essential to fully understand injury mechanisms.
    • Targeted preventive strategies can be developed based on identified risk factors.
