Injury prediction is a waste of time.

This area of inquiry has become dangerously pervasive and it damages sport science's reputation. Much misinformation & misinterpretation exists.

Below I've started a list of the many problems with the area - please feel free to add to it. 1.True positives – whereby an injury is predicted but the athlete is allowed to train regardless - is the only way we can really know the quality of the prediction. Which of course would present an unethical scenario.
