I am a sports doc with extensive experience in treating high level athletes in almost all kinds of sports (except Aussie rules football and cricket).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Since 2000, I have been involved in studies aiming at preventing sports injuries. We have targeted football (soccer), team handball and Alpine skiing and have had some success.\u00a0 Newer sports however, keep popping up. Almost like the doping hunters \u00a0&#8211; often being too late to prevent new, effective performance drugs &#8211; it seems that we are too late to prevent injuries in some of the new sports.\u00a0 I was reminded of this during the recent Snowboard Championship in Oslo: new venues for cross, half pipe and slope style situated beautifully in the Oslo countryside. The first days had bad weather and difficult light and there were some serious injuries- not life threatening, but nevertheless serious.<\/p>\n<p>I have noticed a similarity with the last few Olympic games: the venues get bigger, the athletes better trained and with ever increasing abilities. Unfortunately, there is also an increase in injuries. The numbers from Vancouver showed that 35% of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/02\/14\/sports\/olympics\/15danger.html?_r=1\" target=\"_blank\">snowboard cross<\/a> and 13% of half pipers experienced injuries.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\"><strong><span style=\"color: #800080\">What can we do to prevent these?<\/span><\/strong><\/span> We can count injuries, identify risk factors, study how to reduce these and aggressively implement our knowledge. In the meantime, the sporting venues get larger and more challenging and knowledge from our studies become yesterday\u2019s news. I know that the majority of the athletes appreciate the danger, but I am not sure that the top leaders of the sport have the same awareness.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\"><strong>I need ideas to help the athletes operate in a safer environment- any ideas?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Note that the BJSM publishes 4 issues a year dedicated to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Injury Prevention<\/span> and athletes&#8217; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Health Protection<\/span> (IPHP).
