Research Transparency: Injury Prevalence in Esports

15 Apr Research Transparency: Injury Prevalence in Esports

As esports medicine and performance research continues to expand, it’s important for organizations and individuals within the industry to share their knowledge and experience. Our practice should be evidence-informed, but our evidence must also be clinically-informed. With the aim of providing data from our experience as clinicians, we’ve historically done an end-of-year post with an overview of our interventions. We’d now like to take that one step further and share the more in-depth data from each year, starting from 2021. As the years go on, this post will be updated with new data, in hopes that it will be useful for ongoing research.

This data is explicitly limited to injuries diagnosed and treated by 1HP clinicians in a population of esports competitors ranging in age from 16-30. It does not take into account any of our injury prevention, fitness, nutrition, psychology, or other interventions.

Researchers are also welcome to contact us directly for additional data or for further questions using the contact form on our site.
