Injury epidemiology in cyclocross. A preliminary study
Cyclocross is associated with a high rate of predominantly moderate acute injuries, differing from injury patterns seen in road or mountain biking. These findings highlight the need for discipline-specific injury prevention strategies and further research, particularly into sex-based differences and risk mitigation during technical sections of races.
