It’s no secret that despite the blood, sweat and tears of researchers, it still takes a long time for the research itself to filter down into the contexts and settings that it is intended for. As has been referenced in BJSM<\/a> before, it takes 17 years for just 14% of medical research to be implemented in practice. We know from the same BJSM paper<\/a> and from Dr Christian Barton’s work, that potential solutions exist to overcome some of the barriers.<\/p>\n

You may have either been at or followed the #IOCprev2021 conference in Monaco last week, the world’s flagship conference on the prevention of injury and illness in sport. You will have seen snippets from talks ranging from respiratory health to research methods, but one theme and message in particular stood out, that context is king.<\/p>\n
