Injuries outside of horseracing: is it time to focus on injury prevention of jockeys outside of races?

Conclusion: Injuries to professional jockeys, whilst not as frequent outside of racing, tend to be serious and can affect jockeys financially and impact their availability to ride. Prioritising injury prevention strategies to maximise availability of jockeys to race is important. Education on the importance of reporting all injuries regardless of where they occur is important to ensure their management and rehabilitation. PMID: 32326866 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
