Whose sport is it anyway? Sport taxonomy in manuscripts, some clarification required

To achieve this goal, research groups have published 11 sport-specific or setting-specific consensus statements on the methods of recording and reporting of epidemiological data on injury and illness in sport to date.1 However, all this effort may be undermined if the sporting activities are not accurately described and classified in the first instance. There have been several attempts to classify sports based on, for example, motor skills and functional demands, medical or physiological characteristics, required equipment, and socialpsychological factors.10 11 But these are typically designed for a specific research purpose, and neither are good candidates for a comprehensive taxonomy of sports. To successfully develop the equivalent of a Dewey Decimal Classification for sports, we would need a multidisciplinary effort comprising sports and exercise researchers and information scientists.
