WHAT IT FOUND

What this paper is

This is a perspective piece from the International Federation of Sports Physical Therapy discussing the role of behavioral and contextual factors in injury prevention. It reviews existing literature on barriers to adherence (such as time constraints and aesthetics) and proposes a role for the federation in facilitating global data exchange. It reports no new patient outcomes, trials, or original data, so there is no new finding here to change your clinical practice.

The easy way to misread this

Do not treat the cited statistics on adherence barriers (such as 53.1% citing time constraints) as new evidence from this paper; they are summaries of other studies included to support an argument about the need for better education and supervision.
