Sports injury management research has advanced significantly, allowing us to better understand effective preventative and treatment measures. However, the translation of these results into clinical practice is often delayed, resulting in a gap between current knowledge and its use in real-world settings. Knowledge transfer (KT) has become increasingly prevalent within scientific literature and an important topic within sport and exercise medicine (SEM). KT was initially understood as a unidirectional flow of information from the knowledge producers to the knowledge user. KT now also increasingly involves the knowledge user and knowledge beneficiary (including seldomly, but increasingly, participants) in the knowledge production process. KT theories should play a role in the development of research agendas and define critical areas for investigation. Indeed, there should be a reciprocal relationship between KT theory, practice and research.1 KT is also viewed as a social construct within constructivist social epistemology, which defines knowledge in terms of whether it is accepted and when and how it is applied within specific contexts, and not merely whether it is true or false. Consequently, this theory provides an appropriate model for the dissemination of injury management practices, and the use of these within real-world clinical contexts. The effective application of KT theory principles is important when developing research strategies and assessing the effectiveness of these strategies in gauging their success.2 Hence, research …
