Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products assess injuries to elite athletes. A method involves receiving historical data associated with the athlete and receiving performance data from a functional assessment of the athlete. The functional assessment is designed based on a sport, a position, and/or the injury of the athlete. The method also involves querying a data source for mined data associated with athlete injuries similar to the injury being assessed, generating predictive data relevant to the injury, and analyzing the historical data, the performance data, the mined data, and/or the predictive data to produce a predictive analysis associated with the athlete.
