Abstract
This chapter covers the value and utility of computational modelling in the field of sports injury prevention research. First, an overview of what computational modelling is and why it should be used is provided. This section includes the different purposes of computational modelling more generally and is not specific to sports injury research. Second, two computational modelling approaches, Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) and System Dynamics (SD) Modelling, are introduced given their capability to study the characteristics of complex sports injury systems. There are many different types of computational modelling methods to choose from; however, the emphasis throughout this chapter is placed on approaches that can be used to simulate and dynamically understand the behaviour of complex systems. Third, the association between computational modelling, systems ergonomics research and the science of sports injury control is clarified, and future directions proposed.
