Rethinking injury risk: Why injury prevention in sport needs a gender- and sex-specific lens (blogs.bmj.com)

• Study identifies social, cultural, and biological injury risk factors for female athletes
• Findings directly informed IOC FAIR consensus recommendations
• Calls for tailored prevention strategies beyond male-centric models

"A BJSM blog post summarizes a study that gathered expert opinions on factors influencing injury risk in female athletes. This research informed the IOC FAIR consensus recommendations, which advocate for gender- and sex-specific injury prevention strategies. Social, cultural, environmental, and biological factors shape injury mechanisms, challenging one-size-fits-all approaches. The post calls for tailored training, equipment, and rules to reduce injuries in women and girl athletes."
