  • Årsrapport 2018
    Senter for idrettsskadeforskning Årsrapport 2018 Innledning Senter for idrettsskadeforskning ble opprettet i mai 2000 med finansiering fra Kultur- og kirkedepartementet (KUD), Norges idrettsforbund og olympiske og paralympiske komité (NIF), Norsk Tipping AS og Pfizer AS. Formålet var å utvikle metoder for å forebygge skader i idretten gjennom et langsiktig forskningsprogram med fokus på skadeforebyggende tiltak – særlig i fotball, håndball og alpine grener. Programmet omfatter en rekke forskningsprosjekter innen dette området, inkludert nødvendig basiskunnskap innen patofysiologi, risikofaktorer og skademekanismer. Forskning på dette området – også internasjonalt - har tidligere vært preget av enkeltprosjekter som i seg selv kan ha gitt verdifull dokumentasjon når det gjelder forekomst av skader innen ulike idretter, hvilke skadetyper som dominerer og deres alvorlighetsgrad. Prosjektene har imidlertid ikke vært egnet til å gi den nødvendige innsikt i skademekanismer og risikofaktorer som er nødvendig for å utvikle og prøve ut forebyggende tiltak. Gjennom Senter for idrettsskadeforskning ble det lagt til rette for en mer langsiktig satsing enn hva som til da hadde preget feltet. Siden mai 2000 er det etablert et tverrfaglig forskningsmiljø med både idrettsfaglig og medisinsk kompetanse med utgangspunkt i eksisterende miljø ved Seksjon for idrettsmedisinske fag, Norges idrettshøgskole (NIH) og Ortopedisk avdeling, Oslo universitetssykehus (OUS) som knutepunkt i utviklingen av et regionalt og nasjonalt forskningsnettverk. På bakgrunn av et initiativ fra KUD ble forskningsporteføljen ved senteret utvidet i 2008 til også å omfatte andre helseproblemer enn bare idrettsskader. Dette for å styrke områder med særskilte behov for forskning med tanke på å forstå og forebygge andre helseproblemer knyttet til utøvelse av idrett. Særlig gjelder dette områder hvor man ser at idretten har spesielle utfordringer, så som plutselig hjertedød, infeksjoner, spiseforstyrrelser og anstrengesutløst astma.
