Injury prevention, rehabilitation, sports clubs, sports economicsAbstract
This literature review aims to examine the results of scientific studies conducted to date under the title of sports injuries, both their effects on the athletic performance of athletes and their changes on the financial stability of sports clubs from an interdisciplinary perspective. The study is founded upon a thorough review of extant literature. In the course of preparing the review, a number of databases were searched, including Google Scholar, PubMed, and ResearchGate. The following Turkish keywords were used: sports economics, rehabilitation, injury prevention and sports clubs. The same keywords were also searched for in their English equivalents. The following subjects will be covered: sports economics, rehabilitation, injury prevention, and sports clubs. The present study exclusively encompasses publications in Turkish and English. The findings emphasise the pivotal role of strategic approaches to load management and injury prevention, not only in optimising athlete performance but also in their substantial ramifications for the economic landscape of sport. In this context, the study emphasises that the prevention of sports injuries should not be regarded solely as a health issue, but also as a fundamental component of sports economics.
