Abstract
The French-Speaking Olympic Sports Medicine Research Network (ReFORM) has been recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) since 2018 as one of the eleven IOC Research Centers for the Prevention of Injuries and the Protection of Athlete Health. Its main objective is to prevent sports injuries and improve athlete health through innovative research projects, educational activities, and the development of tools for French-speaking athletes and healthcare professionals. ReFORM's work focuses on various themes such as concussions, return to sport after shoulder surgery, return to sport after hip/knee prosthesis, female athlete health, prevention of abuse in sports and athlete mental health. To promote the exchange of knowledge and the dissemination of the latest advances in sports medicine, ReFORM regularly organizes symposia, webinars and events dedicated to young researchers. Numerous resources for therapists are also regularly shared on ReFORM's website and social media platforms.
