  "abstract": "Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is no longer a bottom-of-the-page tick box on the health research quality checklist. Consensus statements in cancer1 and general medicine2 are prominent examples of multinational research collaborations that create space to include diverse patients. Sports medicine, rehabilitation and sport science seeks to solve complex problems that require multi-disciplinary teams to address biopsychosocial and sociocultural origins and effects. Thus, EDI initiatives are fundamental principles that ensure all team members are valued and respected and can contribute fully. These principles also enhance the research process by bringing varied perspectives, which can support a more intersectional understanding of findings and improve outcomes for patients.",
