Infographic. Translating a systematic review and meta-analysis on epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in athletics (track and field) into research and clinical practice

Musculoskeletal injuries are common place in the sport of athletics (track and field).1 Although knowledge of the extent of injuries represents the fundamental first step in developing risk reduction strategies,2 published studies do not provide a clear picture of the overall extent of injuries in athletics. This infographic aims to disseminate the results of a recent systematic review with meta-analysis on the prevalence, incidence and characteristics of musculoskeletal injuries in Olympic athletics,3 targeting clinicians and researchers for practical applications.
