Abstract
A template for visually representing factors affecting and affected by the occurrence of sport injury is presented. The visualization template is designed to facilitate comparison among graphic depictions of models and data pertaining to the antecedents and consequences of sport injury. Innovative aspects and limitations of the visualization template are highlighted, and future applications of the visualization template are discussed.
Highlights
Injury is ubiquitous in association with sport participation
Sport injury consequences models have generally been represented visually with the same sort of two-dimensional figures with geometric shapes connected by lines that have been used for the sport injury antecedents models
It is important to note that the intention is not to propose a new model, but instead to introduce a visualization template that could be used to represent existing and future models and data pertaining to the antecedents and consequences of sport injury
Summary
Injury is ubiquitous in association with sport participation. There are approximately 6 to 8 million sport- and recreation-related injuries documented in Europe [1] and the United States [2] each year. Among the vast array of injuries experienced by athletes are tendinopathies [3,4] and injuries to muscles [5], nerves [6], bones, ligaments, and cartilage [7]. To organize knowledge concerning sport injury and facilitate research on the topic, investigators have proposed models that delineate variables and processes associated with sport injury.
