Sports injuries and illnesses are a source of significant time loss in amateur and elite sports with frequent socio-economic and health consequences in the short-, mid- and long-term. It has been shown that about 40% of the sports-related health benefits get lost through sports injuries.
Sports injury prevention (IP) concepts have proven their effectiveness in many sports and at various levels, with reductions of sports injuries of approximately 50%. Likewise, IP principles do often lead to increased sports performance. However, implementation of IP principles including injury surveillance and workload monitoring is complex and requires a close collaboration not only of athletes, coaches and eventually parents, but also between all medical, sports and political stakeholders involved.
Due to the lack of existing overarching IP strategies in Luxembourg at various levels, principles and possible solutions of IP are presented and discussed by different involved stakeholders of the LIHPS, COSL, SLMS, SLKS, CMOL, Sportlycée, ENEPS, LIROMS in order to start general organized evidence-based IP initiatives in Luxembourg and reduce sports injuries for all level of athletes.
