What the study reports
A practitioner review of injury patterns in mixed martial arts and the training strategies proposed to reduce them, drawn largely from observational injury surveillance.
The PROMACHOS reading
Injury prevention in combat sport is mostly load management, technical quality and recovery, not exotic intervention. This informs how PROMACHOS structures training volume around competition.
This work was produced by its authors and published in the journal named above. PROMACHOS did not conduct this research, holds no interest in its findings, and provides this summary for educational use only. Read the source before relying on it.
