[Typical sports injuries, sports specific risks and comparison with other sources of accidents].
In the discussion of limiting the growth of medical spending there are intentions to exclude the costs of sport injuries from coverage by the public health insurance system. The aim of this study is to analyse typical sport injuries and to compare them with injuries from other fields of accidents and thus to deliver arguments in the discussion of costs in public health system.
