Injuries, Risk Factors, and Prevention Strategies in Bicycle Motocross (BMX): A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Bicycle motocross (BMX) has become increasingly popular since its inclusion in the 2008 Olympics, but it has some of the highest injury rates (IRs) in multisport studies. To support planning for tailored primary prevention, understanding gaps in BMX injury prevention is crucial.

Objective

To examine the evidence on injury incidence, prevalence, risk factors, prevention strategies, and prevention implementation in BMX.

Data sources

Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus were searched systematically in June 2023.

Study selection

Articles including BMX and any injury as the main topic or subtopic were searched across multiple databases.

Study design

A scoping review was designed following the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews
