VerifiedJournal
The Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport is an international refereed research publication covering all aspects of sport science and medicine.
The Journal considers for publication Original Research and Review Papers in the sub-disciplines relating generally to the broad sports medicine and sports science fields: sports medicine, sports injury (including injury epidemiology and injury prevention), physiotherapy, podiatry, physical activity and health, sports science, biomechanics, exercise physiology, motor control and learning, sport and exercise psychology, sports nutrition, public health (as relevant to sport and exercise), and rehabilitation and injury management. Manuscripts with an interdisciplinary perspective with specific applications to sport and exercise and its interaction with health will also be considered. Source

Exploring a systems-based, multifactorial framework for load tolerance and injury risk in women's soccer: a prospective study
Keywords Athletes (MeSH) Lower extremity (MeSH) Physical exertion (MeSH) Sleep wake disorders (MeSH) Neuromuscular fatigue 1 Introduction In women's soccer, injury rates remain high, particularly for lower-extremity (LE) injuries, with certain injury types, such as anterior cruciate ligament injuries and concussions, occurring more frequently than in comparable male populations.1–3 These injuries disrupt athlete performance, limit player availability, and may have long-term consequences for...
“We can't just copy and paste what the men do into female sport”: contextual experiences and perceptions of injury and injury prevention in adolescent female rugby
1 Introduction Female participation in rugby union (henceforth rugby) has grown markedly, with 43,500 registered female players in England as of 2025 and £4.2 million invested through the Rugby Football Union (RFU) Impact’25 programme.1 Despite this progress, rugby remains male-dominated, with males accounting for three-quarters of participants2 and holding most governance and leadership roles, which raises concerns that the needs of female rugby players may be overlooked.

Is Overtraining Syndrome an Acquired T-Cell Exhaustion State? Rethinking Chronic Exercise-Induced Immune Dysfunction
Conceptual model linking overtraining syndrome (OTS) and T-cell exhaustion. Proposed conceptual model linking overtraining syndrome (OTS) and T-cell exhaustion. Chronic exercise stress may promote an exhaustion-like T-cell program through persistent inflammatory and mitochondrial stress and the upregulation of inhibitory receptors (CTLA-4, PD-1, and LAG-3).
The epidemiology of head impacts, head injury assessments, and concussions in the National Rugby League: the SCRIMMAGE database
Keywords Sport-related concussion Rugby league NRL Incidence Prevalence Practical implications • Head impacts and concussion-related events are common in the NRL, with many players experiencing at least one head impact or Head Injury Assessment during a season, and a notable minority sustaining concussions. • Despite being frequent, the rate of concussion in the NRL appears similar to or lower than other comparable contact sports, suggesting current game rates are not unusually high.
