Comment on: “Incidence, Severity, Aetiology and Prevention of Sports Injuries: A Review of Concepts”

The model has been pivotal in conceptualizing the value of data collection mechanisms that monitor injury incidence longitudinally and identify associated risk factors of injury [2, 3]. Rather, such explanations will depend on the larger body of literature concerning a specific injury process. 3Crafting and Testing Injury Prevention Strategies After the small-sample studies inform the literature regarding the mechanisms involved in injury incidence and severity, evidence-based injury prevention practices may be crafted and also tested in similar small-sample studies. Based on the unique mechanics of the sport, close examinations of agent factors (i.e., head impact biomechanics) within smallsample studies of American football players have followed, and continue to extend the literature surrounding concussion etiology [7, 8].
