Resilient or reckless? Robust debate on risk and reward in sport

Abstract

Strong, vigorous, sturdy and rugged are all synonyms applicable to the word ‘robust’. A glass of full-bodied South African cabernet sauvignon may also be described by the sommelier as ‘robust’ and I hope that this South African Sports Medicine Association (SASMA) edition of BJSM will linger on your intellectual palate as it highlights key issues around the debate on contact and collision sport.
