| Summary: | Every player who participates in a game is deemed to have given their consent for any possible risk of injury. The
aggression that causes the injury must be a legitimate sports activity and not performed beyond the norm of
ordinary sports. This principle is known as implied consent. However, there is another type of consent that is
more concrete and clearer compare to implied consent which normally applies in medical law known as informed

consent and informed consent and suggesting how informed consent can be applied in sports. Hence, the study
found that, although there were some differences in the application of informed consent in the medical field and
sports, the principal of informed consent is applicable in sports contexts. |
