Abstract Objective To explore how sports injury epidemiological outcomes (i.e., prevalence, average incidence, burden, and time to first injury) vary depending on the response rates a weekly online self‐reported questionnaire for athletes. Methods Weekly information athletics injuries exposure from 391 (track field) athletes was prospectively collected over 39 weeks (control group of PREVATHLE randomized controlled trial) using an questionnaire. The data were used calculate sub‐groups with...

Objective To analyse the association between level of use injury risk estimation feedback (I-REF) provided to athletes and burden during an athletics season. Method We conducted a prospective cohort study over 38-week follow-up period on competing at French Federation Athletics. Athletes completed daily questionnaires their activity, psychological state, sleep, self-reported I-REF use, injuries. for next day, ranging from 0% (no injury) 100% (maximum injury). The primary outcome was...

To describe the incidence and characteristics of sports injuries illnesses that occurred during 2022 European Championships.

Introduction Two-thirds of athletes (65%) have at least one injury complaint leading to participation restriction (ICPR) in athletics (track and field) during season. The emerging practice medicine public health supported by electronic processes communication sports represents an opportunity for developing new risk reduction strategies. Modelling predicting the real-time through artificial intelligence using machine learning techniques might represent innovative strategy. Thus, primary aim...

The primary aim is to assess the impact of a multidomain intervention that integrates education, exercise, psychological techniques and machine learning feedback on duration athletes remain free from injury complaints leading participation restriction (ICPR) during 20-week summer competitive athletics season. secondary aims are intervention's effect reducing (i) incidence, (ii) burden, (iii) period prevalence (iv) weekly ICPR same timeframe. We will perform two-arm randomised controlled...

Human activities affect the planet by altering natural cycles. They contribute to climate change and pollution, posing challenges ecosystems, biodiversity, human well-being health. There is a need consider Planetary Health, which described as solutions-oriented, transdisciplinary field social movement focused on analysing addressing impacts of disruptions Earth’s systems health all life Earth. This viewpoint discusses responsibilities, choices, potential roles practical initiatives...

To describe the incidence and characteristics of injuries illnesses that occurred during 54th Nordic World Ski Championships in Planica (Slovenia) 2023, including disciplines cross-country skiing, combined ski jumping. In this prospective cohort study, national medical teams team local organiser collected data on a daily basis all new, exacerbated or recurrent registered athletes using IOC consensus recommendations. There were 596 (250 women, 346 men), with access to services. The covered...

ObjectivesTo compare incidence rates of lower limb muscle injuries (LLMIs) and hamstring (HMIs) in 100 m, 200 m 400 sprints disciplines between finals, semi-finals heats international athletics championships.DesignProspective total population study.MethodsWe analysed in-competition LLMIs HMIs female male athletes during eight championships 2009 2022.ResultsLLMI HMI finals were significantly higher than for athletes. athletes.ConclusionsLLMI risk was compared to previous rounds championships.

Objective: To describe the injury and illness complaints of elite athletes during four weeks before 2022 European championships in Munich (Germany). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study registered at from 11th to 21st August 2022, using an online pre-participation health questionnaire (PPHQ) asking about personal training characteristics preceding championships. Results: Among 5419 athletes, 239 (4.4%) completed PPHQ. A total 47 (19.7%) reported complaint The most frequently worst...

Women's Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) is a sport well known for requiring heavy and difficult training load from younger age to reach high level of performance. This also associated with an injury risk. Epidemiological studies are thus needed improve prevention strategies.We aimed determine the epidemiology in French high-level WAG.We conducted retrospective analysis data collected prospectively over six seasons 2014-2015 season 2019-2020 among Gymnasts France National Centre Saint-Etienne. We...

To investigate if several potential risk factors were associated with time to injury complaints leading participation restriction in Athletics (ICPR).We performed a secondary analysis of data collected during 39 weeks the 2017-2018 season cluster-randomised controlled trial ('PREVATHLE'). Univariate and multivariable analyses using Cox regression models analyse association between first ICPR (1) at baseline: sex, age, height, body mass, discipline, usual duration training non-specific sports...

Despite exercise-based injury prevention programs (EIPPs) being widely researched and used, several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have failed to show their protective effect on risk. This is potentially due underappreciating the EIPP dose-response relationship, by not controlling analysis for injuries sustained during early implementation period, before becomes efficacious. To determine relationship of effects it became We conducted a secondary an RCT analyzing efficacy in athletics...

Objective To analyse associations between feels-like temperatures measured with the universal thermal climate index (UTCI) and injury rates during international athletic championships. Methods During 10 outdoor championships from 2007 to 2022, in-competition injuries were collected by medical teams local organising committees. UTCI was extracted hourly a global reanalysis of observed atmospheric conditions each championship. We performed Poisson regressions incidence (number per 1000 athlete...

Problem: Injuries in athletics are common and may lead to restrictions participation performance. We thus aimed describe the epidemiology (prevalence, incidence, burden, characteristics) of injuries self-reported by athletes (“injury complaint leading restriction” (ICPR)) athletes) over one season. Methods: For this study, we used data from “PREVATHLE” randomized controlled trial only control group who provided 100% weekly responses. On a basis, collected individual information via...
