Grip strength assessment seems more relevant than pitching velocity for assessing acute muscle fatigue in baseball pitchers.

Strategies to reduce the risk of injury are essential for decreasing the likelihood, severity and consequences of injuries in athletics. Strategies for reducing injury risk should be developed using a holistic approach that reflects the complex aetiology of sports injuries. Different injury risk reduction strategies, such as education, exercises, psychological techniques and machine learning-based injury prognostic feedback, have been researched, but each one in isolation.

Injury prevention programmes (IPPs) can reduce the risk of sustaining an ACL injury by more than 50% in female athletes participating in pivoting sports.

Several barriers and facilitators to implementing IPPs have been suggested, including programme design, player enjoyment and a lack of knowledge and resources.

Downhill mountain biking (DHMTB) is one of the more extreme subdisciplines of mountain bike cycling and has been shown to have an injury prevalence as high as 20/1000 hours competition. There is a lack of methodological homogeneity among the prospective injury surveillance studies conducted within DHMTB and across competitive cycling. The risk of injury and injury profile in DHMTB is poorly understood.
