Plain-language summaries of the research.
We translate sports-medicine research into the kind of guidance you can actually act on — without the press-release inflation that usually surrounds it.
Every Movemend article links directly to the studies it draws from. We focus on randomised trials, well-designed cohort studies and meta-analyses; we flag observational findings as such, and we are explicit about effect-size uncertainty rather than reporting point estimates as if they were settled facts.
The sports-medicine literature has matured significantly in the last decade — sample sizes are larger, prevention trials are better designed, and meta-analyses of training-injury data now exist for most common conditions. We try to summarise that work without the press-release amplification that usually surrounds it.
Where the evidence is strong, we say so. Where it is mixed or thin, we say that too. The asymmetry between 'a study suggested' and 'a randomised trial demonstrated' matters, and a lot of consumer-facing health content does not honour it.
Below are the research themes we follow most actively. Article-level summaries appear inside each topic pillar.
