Article Synopsis
- - The article discusses how injuries from sports can deeply disrupt people's lives, even if they seem minor, similar to serious chronic illnesses, based on interviews with 20 non-elite athletes.
- - It highlights the disconnect between how severe an injury feels and its real-life effects, influenced by social factors like community expectations and the lack of proper medical support.
- - Lastly, it explains that personal experiences, such as being young or feeling a sense of failure when managing one's health, can worsen both disruptions and chronic conditions, as athletes often push through injuries instead of adjusting their routines.
Background: Regular participation in sport, exercise and physical activity (PA) is associated with positive health outcomes and form a mainstay of British public health policies. However, regular participation in sport and exercise can result in sport related injury (SRI) which, in turn, is a key cause of exercise cessation. The integration of Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) in the English National Health Service (NHS) aims to provide a specialist service for public populations and thus reduce the impact of SRI on exercise cessation and associated negative health outcomes.
