Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center

Intoduction

The new web site for the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center was released on April 1 this year - but is certainly not meant to be a joke! The web pages have been designed by Making Waves to provide information on our research activities for scientists, athletes, coaches, media and others. Here you will find updated information on research projects and results, as well as other resources for anyone interested in injury prevention.

From our opening seminar spring 2000.

The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center was established in May 2000 at the Norwegian University of Sport & Physical Education through generous grants from the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Culture, the Norwegian Olympic Committee & Confederation of Sport, Norsk Tipping AS, and Pfizer AS. The main objective is to prevent injuries in sports through a longterm research program focusing on risk factors, injury mechanisms, and injury preventation methods - particulary in soccer, team handball, and alpine skiing.
