  "abstract": "The consensus process, applied frequently in sport and exercise medicine (SEM), offers a structured framework to generate high-quality practical recommendations and/or identify research priorities to promote athlete health when robust clinical trial evidence is limited. Consensus activities integrate the best available evidence with the collective knowledge, experience and expertise of researchers and sport partners, including athletes, coaches, parents/carers, health and exercise practitioners, sport science and performance professionals, sport administrators and policy makers (also referred to as the athlete entourage, interest holders, knowledge users and consumers). To ensure transparency, repeatability and relevance, the ACCORD (accurate consensus reporting document) guidelines outline how to conduct and communicate consensus activities, and the British Journal of Sports Medicine also provides author guidelines for consensus statements.1",
