“…The participants of this prospective, observational study will be recruited from those elite cyclists competing at the UCI World Championships in Glasgow, 2023. They will follow the injury reporting guidelines established by the IOC, including STROBE-SIIS, the cycling-specific extension and para-sport translation of these guidelines 10 12 13 15 16. Ethical approval for this study has been granted by the Medical Faculty, Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland (Faculty REC Reference Number MHLS 23_97).…”

“…Thus, the reported injury rate is likely lower than if self-reported measures were used and if we included team medical contacts. Additionally, chronic conditions are less likely to be reported within this study because these conditions will likely mean that the cyclist is not competing at the event and, therefore, as described by previous authors, is a limitation of tournament injury/illness reporting studies 15…”

“…However, of the prospective injury surveillance studies in cycling that have been done, none have documented and compared injuries and illness in all the cycling disciplines, including paracycling, using the latest IOC Consensus statement on epidemiology reporting in sport, including the extension for reporting injuries and illness in cycling 8–14. Thus, there is a clear need for a study comparing injury rates in the different cycling disciplines using consistent, reproducible and comparable methods 9–11 13–15. Understanding the injury risks allows risk mitigation strategies to be put into place and thus allow cyclists and their teams to achieve the highest level of performance and protect their health.…”

The sport of cycling consists of several individual sporting disciplines. Indeed, the world governing body for cycling, Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), oversees the various cycling disciplines, with each of these disciplines having a number of subcategories. While several sports have undertaken prospective injury surveillance studies to understand the risks of their sport, plan event medical support and develop prevention programmes, limited high-quality studies have been undertaken within cycling. Indeed, this is the first prospective study of cycling injuries, particularly when considering the whole sport of cycling together. This current study will therefore aim to describe the incidence, severity, burden and nature of injuries within elite cycling in those athletes participating across 13 championship events at the inaugural World Championships, Glasgow, August 2023. Injury and exposure definitions will be in line with the IOC Consensus for injury surveillance in cycling. Injury incidence will be reported per 1000 athlete match hours or per number of athletes/cyclists and injury severity will be assessed via estimated median or mean days lost to training/competition. Meanwhile injury burden will be assessed via days of absence/1000 athlete match hours (or per number of athletes exposed) and all these results will be compared between male and female cyclists. This paper will also report the most common specific injuries for male and female cyclists (per 1000 hours of participation or per number of athletes exposed). Statistical differences will be tested for incidence or severity measures between sexes and will be compared to other sports.

“…In that statement (hereafter referred to as the IOC consensus statement), there was a call for subsequent sport-specific extensions with more detailed recommendations relevant to a sport and/or setting. Sports-specific extensions have subsequently been published over the last 2 years for golf, tennis, cycling and Para sports 14–18. Sport-specific extensions should result in more consistent study designs, data collection procedures and nomenclature in future injury and illness surveillance studies in the sports targeted.…”

Football-specific extension of the IOC consensus statement: methods for recording and reporting of epidemiological data on injury and illness in sport 2020

Several sports have published consensus statements on methods and reporting of epidemiological studies concerning injuries and illnesses with football (soccer) producing one of the first guidelines. This football-specific consensus statement was published in 2006 and required an update to align with scientific developments in the field. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) recently released a sports-generic consensus statement outlining methods for recording and reporting epidemiological data on injury and illness in sport and encouraged the development of sport-specific extensions.The Fédération Internationale de Football Association Medical Scientific Advisory Board established a panel of 16 football medicine and/or science experts, two players and one coach. With a foundation in the IOC consensus statement, the panel performed literature reviews on each included subtopic and performed two rounds of voting prior to and during a 2-day consensus meeting. The panel agreed on 40 of 75 pre-meeting and 21 of 44 meeting voting statements, respectively. The methodology and definitions presented in this comprehensive football-specific extension should ensure more consistent study designs, data collection procedures and use of nomenclature in future epidemiological studies of football injuries and illnesses regardless of setting. It should facilitate comparisons across studies and pooling of data.
