Our goal is to advance a better understanding of the incidence, risk factors, prevention techniques, and long term health outcomes for sports related injuries sustained by U.S. high school and adolescent athletes.

 

Dr. McGuine has taken an active role in developing and facilitating novel research methods to allow for effective prospective data collection and analysis in field (sport) settings. At the University of Wisconsin, he established The Wisconsin Sports Injury Research Network, through which a team of licensed ATCs and coaches collect prospective research data in diverse high school and club sport settings. The cross sectional, cohort and randomized study trials he initiated have utilized 300+ US high schools and sport clubs as data collection sites and enrolled 40,000 adolescent athletes as research participants.
