Description
Till-Martin Theilen and co-authors evaluate a new injury grading protocol at elite field hockey tournaments, in a 2025 paper. Fair risk management in elite sport needs injuries recorded the same way everywhere. The international hockey federation introduced a standard assessment form for its medical officials. Severity is graded by expected days lost.
Data came from the Olympic Games, the Commonwealth Games, and the Women's World Cup. Officials logged injury site, cause, and type for each case. The study checks how well the protocol captured severity in practice. Consistent grading helps compare events and target prevention. Medical teams gain a tested template for tournament coverage. Other sports federations may borrow the approach.
