Dear Colleagues,

Preventing sports injuries before they happen is as much our responsibility as treating them.

With this in mind, we are meeting at Istanbul Atlas University on 28 November 2026 for the SİP 2026 Sports Injury Prevention Symposium, organised by the TUSYAD Sports Injury Prevention Committee.

Our aim is to bring together orthopaedic surgeons, sports physicians, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists and all professionals involved in athlete health under one roof, to share science, experience and current practice on topics such as injury prevention in all athletes, especially children and young athletes, return to sport after injury, and the latest technological advances in athlete health.

With the participation of our distinguished guests from abroad, we will also have the opportunity to discuss the experience of different countries and their current approaches to preventing sports injuries and returning to sport after injury.

We would be delighted to welcome you to SİP 2026, where knowledge is shared, different disciplines and experiences enrich one another, and we discuss the future of athlete health together.

We look forward to seeing you in Istanbul on 28 November.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mahmud AydınSymposium Secretary
TUSYAD Sports Injury Prevention Committee

Dear Colleagues,

Preventing sports injuries not only protects an athlete's health but also supports continuity in training and competition. Particularly in children and young athletes, appropriate loading, proper preparation and early recognition of risks are essential for practising sport safely.

We put great effort into bringing athletes back to the field after an injury. Yet reducing preventable injuries can spare athletes the pain, treatment and time away from sport altogether. Injury prevention is therefore a shared responsibility of every discipline involved in athlete health.

At the SİP 2026 Sports Injury Prevention Symposium, to be held at Istanbul Atlas University on 28 November 2026, we will explore current knowledge and practice in this field together. I would be glad to welcome you.
