Whilst the general public may be well aware of the health benefits of physical activity, the same general public may not be aware of what they can do to minimise the risk of incurring a sports-related injury. The Authors also recognise that the key messages of the sports-related injury prevention literature can be translated through social marketing approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Social marketing approaches are founded upon exchange theory, in which \u201c<i>consumers are perceived to be self-interested actors who are motivated to seek the largest personal benefit for the smallest personal cost<\/i>.\u201d As further noted by the Authors, social marketing campaigns should ensure that the exchange is \u201c<i>socially desirable and easily done<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly for injury prevention researchers, practitioners and policy-makers is that the social marketing approach can be utilised within virtually <i>any<\/i> injury prevention domain, not just in relation to preventing injuries in sports.
