Do not throw the baby out with the bathwater; screening can identify meaningful risk factors for sports injuries

(Das Kind nicht mit dem Bade ausschütten; ein Screening kann wichtige Risikofaktoren für Sportverletzungen ermitteln)

Editorial Norway`s Professor Roald Bahr recently highlighted that screening does not predict which athlete will sustain an injury.1 Some interpreted this to mean screening is useless for injury prevention. However, screening remains essential in our efforts to protect athletes` health. To extend what has been a robust discussion, we argue how screening can be important for an individual athlete, and offer potential reasons why and how individual screening tests still lack clinical utility.
