Recent data reveals that 400,000 Dutch individuals have permanently quit sports over the past two years due to injuries, according to VeiligheidNL and RIVM. Experts highlight that nearly half of the nine million weekly athletes in the Netherlands sustain injuries, primarily in football and running. While many recover and return, substantial numbers remain sidelined. Health professionals emphasize the importance of preventive measures and proper injury management to reduce these alarming statistics and promote long-term fitness.
