Injury is a serious public health issue. Injuries differ by their nature and severity. Injuries can be unintentional or intentional. Unintentional injuries include road traffic injuries, falls, burns, drowning, poisoning, and intentional injuries include self-inflicted injuries, interpersonal violence, and war-related injuries [1,2,3]. Globally, injury causes over five million deaths per year [1,2,3]. Injury cases result in more deaths than HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined (3.8 million) [1,3,4]. Nonfatal injuries represent a large proportion of the injury burden and deaths represent a small proportion [4]. Most injuries result in significant psychological trauma, potentially life-long disability, and subsequent financial loss [4].

The majority of the population is being encouraged to increase recreational activity in order to decrease risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. However, long-term physical activity and the risk of developing chronic injuries such as osteoarthritis (OA) are still unclear.

And over the past few years the NHL and other leagues or trying to crack down on concussions; but those are only partial solutions.
