Author(s): Dhirender Kumar Tokas and Dr. Madan Singh Rathore
Abstract:Engaging in physical activity and exercise is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and is a key factor in preventing and enhancing health. However, certain sports and physical activities may present an inherent risk of injury. Some intrinsic, extrinsic, mutable, non-mutable and initiating events may contribute as causes of injury in sports.
This thematic review will provide an overview of the mechanisms that lead to sports injuries and the various elements that influence them. It will also explore the effects of sports injuries, how technology and innovation can be used to manage these risks and injuries, the significance of early risk analysis, and finally, future trends and directions in artificial intelligence research to reduce the risk of sports injuries and the strategies for managing them.
By amalgamating the current state of knowledge within this field, the author aims to enhance our comprehension of the complex interplay and intricate relationship between the mechanisms of sports injuries and the prevention, management, and treatment of such injuries using emerging and evolving technologies.
It's essential to emphasize and underscore that advanced technologies should be seen as a complement and augmenting the role of healthcare professionals rather than substituting them, given the recognized limitations of the current system and the imperative necessity for personalized and tailored treatments that can vary from one athlete to another.
