Introduction Sports‐related injuries and illnesses in Paralympic sport (SRIIPS) are a concern, but knowledge about the etiology and risk factors is limited. The aim of this study was to describe the annual incidence, type, and severity of injuries and illnesses among Swedish Paralympic athletes and to assess risk factors. Methods Swedish Paralympic athletes (n = 107) self‐reported SRIIPS every week during 52 weeks using an eHealth application. Incidence proportions (IP) and incidence rates (IR) were used as measures of disease burden. Time‐to‐event methods (Kaplan‐Meier and Cox regression) were used to identify risk factors. Results The annual IP for injury was 68% and for illness 77%. The injury IR was 6.9/1000 hours and the illness IR 9.3/1000 hours. The median time to injury was 19 weeks (95% CI: 10.5‐27.4) and to illness 9 weeks (95% CI: 1.4‐16.6). Most injuries occurred during training, and 34% were classified as severe (≥21 days of time loss). An increased injury risk was observed among athletes in team sports (HR 1.88; 95% CI: 1.19‐2.99), athletes with a previous severe injury (HR 2.37; 95% CI: 1.47‐3.83), and male athletes (HR 1.76; 95% CI: 1.06‐2.93). The most common illness type was infection (84%). Athletes in team sports (HR 1.64; 95% CI: 1.05‐2.54) and males with a previous illness (HR = 2.13; 95% CI: 1.04‐4.36) had a higher illness risk. Conclusion Paralympic athletes report a high incidence of injuries and illnesses over time. This emphasizes the need to develop preventive strategies of SRIIPS and optimize medical services for this heterogeneous athlete population.

“…The observed injury IR is similar, or even higher, than corresponding rates among able-bodied athletes. 16,[23][24][25] The only comparable study of injuries over time in Paralympic athletes reported an IR of 3.9/1000 hours among wheelchair fencers. 26 In the present study, also a high IP was reported (68%).…”

“…Competition fights consist of rounds that typically last two minutes each. To compete on an international level elite athletes train five to seven times a week including full-contact sparring fights for competition simulation [3][4][5][6]. Since injury risk in taekwondo was the highest compared to all other sports during the Olympic games 2012 there is growing interest in injury rates and prevention [3,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…But one must consider that athletes spend a lot more time training than competing [16]. Furthermore, there is also the need to provide data on injury profiles between training and competition in martial arts [4,9,10,17,18]. This study aimed to compare exposure-adjusted injury incidence rates of training and competition in elite taekwondo athletes over a period of 5 years.…”

This study aimed to investigate exposure adjusted injury incidence rates and profiles associated with training and competition in an elite taekwondo athlete population. 82 athletes were investigated for injuries over a period of 5 years. Individual fight time exposure for training and competition was recorded. The type and location of the injuries were classified and exposure-adjusted injury incidence rates (IIR) were calculated per 1000 h for training and competition. 66 athletes with a mean age of 19.3±4.2 years and 172 injuries were included in the final data assessment. The exposure adjusted IIR was significantly higher during competition (p<0.001) with a rate ratio of 6.33 (95% CI 4.58–8.69). Ankle and foot region as well as hand and wrist were most affected with significant higher IIR in competition (p<0.001). Joint injuries, fractures, and bruising occurred the most. Fractures occurred mainly to the hand and wrist region. Future investigations should focus on exposure adjusted injury data including analyses of the detailed mechanism leading to especially severe injuries to improve specific injury prevention in competition and promote evolution of protective gear.

“…Las lesiones deportivas afectan la funcionalidad del deportista llevándolo a alterar sus actividades de la vida diaria, las lesiones pueden producirse en cualquier momento del día del deportista y tienen diferentes factores etiológicos como sexo, nivel de competición, tipo de deporte, factores intrínsecos y extrínsecos. Las lesiones pueden darse en diferentes deportes como futbol, judo, balonmano, baloncesto y voleibol reportándose en mayor medida lesiones de cuello de pie como esguinces, rodilla como ruptura de ligamento cruzado anterior y posterior, lesiones de cabeza y cara, muñeca, espalda baja, hombro (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). La fisioterapia es una de las áreas de la salud que trabaja en el deporte de alto rendimiento con el fin de garantizar que el deportista se encuentre en óptimas condiciones para afrontar competencias a nivel nacional e internacional.…”

RESUMENEl deporte de alto rendimiento, exige que se desarrollen estrategias de recuperación, entrenamiento y rehabilitación que favorezcan la adaptación al entrenamiento físico. En fisioterapia, se usan estrategias para mantener la salud del deportista en su más alto nivel y entre las estrategias más utilizadas se encuentran prevención de lesiones, entrenamiento funcional, recuperación funcional enfocados en objetivos específicos del deportista. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de este artículo es realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre el rol del fisioterapeuta en el deporte de alto rendimiento. ABSTRACTHigh-performance sport requires the development of recovery, training and rehabilitation strategies that favor adaptation to physical training. In physiotherapy, strategies are used to maintain the health of the athlete at the highest level, among the strategies most used are injury prevention, functional training, functional recovery focused on specific goals of the athlete. For this reason, the objective of this article is to perform a systematic review of the literature on the role of physiotherapist in high performance sport.
