2014 IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury & Illness in Sport - Information for the Media
13/03/2014
The IOC World
Conference on Prevention of Injury and Illness in Sport will be held
from 10 to 12 April 2014 at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
Bringing together team physicians and medical science and sports experts
from across the world, the Conference will explore risk factors,
mechanisms and effective prevention strategies to ensure that athletes
remain fit and healthy in and out of competition.
With over 120 international sports and medical experts lined up as speakers, the three-day Conference will feature:
· Five keynote lectures, including a debate on whether sport injury and illness research has delivered concrete results, the role of evidence-based concussion prevention, and the evolution of footwear and sports equipment in improving performance and reducing injuries;
· 24 symposia addressing a range of topics from prevention of heart-related problems in athletes to the exploration of innovative field-based injury screening;
· 86 workshops; and
· 73 abstract presentations.
Using a multidisciplinary approach, the objective of the Conference is to transfer academic knowledge on injury- and illness-prevention strategies to the field of play in order to minimise the risk factors in sports participation and maximise safety for high-level and recreational athletes alike.
One of many highlights promises to be the opening lecture by the dynamic pairing of Prof. Dohmnall Macauley and Prof. Karim Khan, editors of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM). Other keynote speakers include Paul McCrory (on concussions), Benno Nigg (on running injuries), Evert Verhagen (on how digital and mobile platforms will influence athlete care), Andrew McIntosh (on technology and equipment in sport), Juan Manuel Alonso (on hamstring injury prevention) and Caroline Finch (on injury surveillance and rule changes).
