Abstract: Sports injuries are among the most common injuries and therefore present a significant public health problem. Physiologic processes after injuries are often neglected while much more attention is being paid to the management of symptoms. However, compre‐ hension of these processes is becoming more and more important as therapies are get‐ ting increasingly focused on specific molecular and cellular processes. In recent decades, extensive research of tissue regeneration after injury and degeneration, including molecu‐ lar pathways in healing, helped towards better understanding of this process and led to discoveries of new potential therapeutic targets. In this chapter physiology of sports inju‐ ries and the latest advances in understanding pathophysiological processes after injury will be discussed.
