Brice picot
Brice Picot is a French sports physiotherapist and university lecturer at Université Savoie Mont Blanc in Chambéry. He specializes in the prevention and rehabilitation of sports injuries, with a particular focus on lower limb conditions such as chronic ankle instability and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.
His expertise lies in the use of advanced methods such as 3D kinematic analysis and proprioceptive assessments to identify motor risk patterns in athletes. At the university, he teaches anatomy and sports injury management, combining his extensive clinical experience with a strong scientific foundation.
In addition to his academic role, Brice has many years of clinical experience as a sports physiotherapist, working with the regional handball training center in Chambéry and the French national handball team.
His research focuses on the prevention and rehabilitation of sports injuries. He is notably involved in the development and validation of the Ankle-GO, a tool designed to predict recovery after lateral ankle sprains.
Brice regularly shares his knowledge at international conferences. He has been an invited speaker at the International Ankle Symposium (IAS, Strasbourg 2024) and the ESSKA Congress (Milan 2024), and presented his work at the IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury & Illness in Sport (Monaco 2024).
He also serves as a reviewer for several leading scientific journals, including the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Sports Medicine, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, Frontiers in Sports & Active Living, and the European Journal of Rehabilitation. His work contributes to advancing evidence-based practice in sports physiotherapy.

INJURIES IN HANDBALL - FROM YOUTH TO SENIOR PLAYERS
The article discusses the nature, frequency, and causes of injuries in handball. Due to the combination of speed, jumping, sudden changes of direction, and physical contact, handball is among the sports with the highest injury incidence. The ankle, knee, and shoulder are most frequently affected, with lateral ankle sprains and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries being particularly common. The authors emphasize that non-contact mechanisms often contribute to severe knee injuries, and that certain positions, such as backs and wing players, carry an increased risk.
