Participation in sports and exercise activities has been increased significantly the last two decades. However, increased participation in sports and recreational activities increases the exposure to the hazards and risk factors associated with the occurrence of sports injuries. As more people participate in such activities, it can be expected that the number of injuries associated with them also has the potential to increase.
