Abstract

The full contact nature of mixed martial arts gives rise to a considerable injury risk that must be addressed. This article identifies the most common preventable injuries in the sport and describes which athletes may be at increased risk. Practical interventions are provided to minimize the occurrence of these injuries. Additionally, methods for integrating these tasks into a training plan to increase compliance are suggested. © 2014 by the National Strength & Conditioning Association
