Mountain biking injuries are common, but riders are adopting safety measures like helmets. Research and awareness are making this adventure sport safer.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Mountain biking is a rapidly growing adventure sport with increasing participation and competitive events.
  • The inherent risks associated with high-speed, off-road cycling necessitate an understanding of injury patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize the existing literature on mountain biking injuries.
  • To identify common injury types, frequencies, and mechanisms in mountain biking.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major biomedical databases (PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, DH data, Embase).
  • Keywords used included "mountain," "biking," and "injuries."
  • The review included various study types: review articles, case-controlled studies, case series, and case reports.
