Sports field emergencies pose significant challenges, demanding rapid and effective responses to ensure athlete safety. Simulation-based training offers a promising approach to enhance emergency preparedness. This comprehensive review explores the benefits of high-fidelity simulation in sports emergencies, highlighting how it replicates realistic scenarios, provides stress inoculation, fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, and facilitates skill refinement. However, the successful implementation of simulation in sports emergencies faces several challenges, including cost limitations, scheduling constraints, integration into training curricula, addressing psychological impact, and ensuring scenario realism. This article discusses potential solutions to overcome these hurdles, emphasizing resource-sharing, flexible scheduling, partnerships, debriefing sessions, psychological support, and collaboration among stakeholders. The integration of high-fidelity simulation into sports safety protocols is essential for reducing the occurrence and severity of sports field emergencies, ultimately contributing to improved athlete outcomes and care. By addressing these challenges, organizations can harness the full potential of simulation-based training, enhancing emergency response readiness on the sports field.
