Background

4

By supporting selected research centres, the IOC will promote injury and disease prevention and the improvement of physical health of the athlete by :

Establishing long-term research programmes on injury and disease prevention (including studies on basic epidemiology, risk factors, injury mechanisms and intervention).

Consequences of sports injuries andsports-related illnesses

Pathophysiology, risk factors and injury mechanisms

Methods for sports injury and disease prevention

Fostering collaborative relationships with individuals,institutions and organisations to improve athletes’ health

Implementing (and collaborating with) applied, ongoing and novel research and development within the framework and long-term strategy of the IOC

Setting up knowledge translation mechanisms to share scientific research results with the field throughout the Olympic Movement and sports community and to convert these results into concrete actions to protect the health of the athletes.

Pyeongchang 2016 Injury & Illness Surveillance

• NOC medical staff through EMR

• 90-95% yet (better than in previous Games at this time)

– 56 countries with ≥4 athletes included (equals 94% of all athletes)

• Clinic/venue EMRs

– We want to daily export data from the EMR – system and cross-

checked data entries for duplicates with the NOC encounters

Take-home message

10-14% of athletes injured and 7-9% ill during

Games

Injuries and illnesses vary substantially

between sports, winter/summer, and gender

Respiratory track infections are the most

common illness

Little valid knowledge on burden of overuse

injury risk

Implications

Development of preventive measures need

to be tailored for each sport

Continued focus among sport bodies/IFs to

institute and further develop injury and

illness surveillance systems

Not just during the Game, but also up to the

Games
