Využívanie prvkov riadenia rizík pre oblasť športových zranení v kontexte zlepšovania športových výkonov

Abstract

The growing popularity of sports among the general public creates favourable conditions for the development of sports clubs, which, however, entails many aspects and risk factors with the potential to fundamentally affect the activities and functioning of sports organisations. Given that the sports sector within the Slovak Republic accounts for a significant number of jobs and a share of the national economy, it is in the general interest to address the improvement of conditions and long-term development of sports organisations. Globalisation in the current sports sector inevitably leads to growing competition on the international scene and brings new challenges. One of the fundamental conditions for the success of sports organisations is the satisfactory performance of their athletes. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the possibilities of implementing risk management frameworks and practices to improve athletes' conditions, especially in the context of the issue of sports injuries. To this end, empirical research procedures were applied, based primarily on the study of literature and the application of scientific procedures of analysis, comparison, induction and deduction. The output will be a proposal of framework procedures for the transformation of standard management methods for their use in the field of sports injury management. The success of a sports organization is contingent on satisfactory sports performance, which depends on optimal conditions for the preparation, health and development of athletes. Therefore, it is advisable to look for ways to systematically and significantly reduce the risks associated with them.
