• Injury epidemiology and risk profiling across youth and female athletes shows sport- and sex-specific injury rates, emphasizing football/wrestling and women's gymnastics and the need for broader surveillance [1], [7], [16], [6], [11].

• Psychosocial determinants of athletic injury and rehabilitation synthesize life stress, anxiety, locus of control, and coping into prevention and sports medicine practice, advocating integrated psychological support [3], [10], [4], [19].

• Physiological and biomechanical determinants of performance and injury risk link energy cost, VO2 max, energy storage, and running economy to limits of performance and injury propensity across athletes [5], [8], [17], [18], [2], [12], [20].

• Sport-specific injury mechanisms highlight pitching arm lesions, knee ligament injuries, and shoulder EMG patterns, informing mechanism-based prevention and conditioning across youth and athletes [13], [14], [15].

• Cardiorespiratory health and risk screening underpin athlete assessment, combining VO2 metrics, energy expenditure, and sudden death risk to guide safe participation and monitoring [12], [11], [8], [5].
