- Abstract
- Overuse injuries are common in many sports and it is well known that they can negatively influence ongoing participation in sport, especially during the period when people recover and rehabilitate from these injuries. Much less is recognised about the longer-term impact of these overuse injuries, with most focus in the literature appearing to be on the outcomes of acute, traumatic injuries. This chapter provides an overview of the available evidence that links overuse injuries to restriction of sport participation and other physical activities in both the short term and longer term, as well as the associated health issues that may be associated with this. In particular, residual musculoskeletal deficits that might affect future joint and tendon health and injury risk are reviewed. By drawing on models describing the chronicity of problems such as poor tendon health and osteoarthritis and the recently presenting LOAD (List of All Deficits) injury outcome framework, this chapter presents a new conceptual approach towards understanding the significant impact of overuse injuries that arise during sport on subsequent health and sports participation across the lifespan.
