Our latest collaboration with the Physiotherapy research group of the university UFMG in Brazil, sheds light on sports injury forecasting and complexity. The understanding that sports injury is the result of the interaction among many factors and that specific profiles could increase the risk of the occurrence of a given injury was a significant step in establishing programs for injury prevention. However, injury forecasting is far from being attained. To be able to estimate future states of a complex system (forecasting), it is necessary to understand its nature and comply with the methods usually used to analyze such a system.

In 2013, The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) Overuse Injury Questionnaire was developed to address challenges which arise when using traditional sports injury surveillance methods to document the epidemiology of overuse injuries. Since then, users from a range of research and clinical environments have identified areas in which these questionnaires may be improved. This manuscript addresses several changes to the wording, structure and logic of the original questionnaires.
