What the publication reports
The statement sets out discipline-specific methods and exposure measures to make data collected by researchers and sports organisations more comparable. It builds on the general IOC statement and subsequent sport and population adaptations.
Limits and interpretation
This is a measurement framework, not a trial of an injury-prevention intervention. Comparisons still depend on consistent implementation and complete reporting.
