Introduction: Dizzyness and Vertigo are one of the most common symptoms presented by
patients, often the symptoms are caused by BPPV. BPPV may by provoked by certain types of
impacts, head motion and other various factors including sport practice. In modern world, sport
has become a part of everyday life, both in professional in amateur matter. Different sports,
may lead to different types of injuries and related complications, one of them is dizzyness and
vertigo. We investigated the existing data about the prevalence of BPPV related to certain types
of physical activity. Different sports vary in the movement profile, amount and frequency of
impacts. Furthermore, the injuries resulting from physical activity are not always associated
with direct hits. Presenting all at once: the data, diagnostic and treatement strategy, we resume
the existing knowledge on the phenomenon of BPPV in physical activity.
Purpose of work: The article was completed to analyze the available data on the prevalence
of BPPV in sports practitioners. This aims to facilitate the prompt resolution of vertigo
symptoms in affected individuals and to identify potential, less obvious risk factors that may
predispose athletes to this condition.
State of Knowledge: Even though the knowledge about the etiology and risk factors of BPPV
has significantly advanced in the last decade, more than half of all cases is are still classified
as idiopathic. While data on possible new risk factors is growing, it often consists of case
reports or orginal studies with small sample sizes, limiting its generalizability. It is widely
believed though that certain types of movement may play a role in triggering BPPV.
Material and methods: This article is based on a comprehensive review of the literature,
conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar. The research focused on studies concerning the
prevalence, etiology and risk factors of BPPV, particularly in sports practitioners.
