Incidence and burden of injury at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games held during the COVID-19 pandemic: A prospective cohort study of 66 045 athlete days
Abstract
To describe the epidemiology of injuries
at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, including
injuries sustained in the new sports of badminton and
taekwondo. Injury data were obtained daily via the
established web-based injury and illness surveillance
system (WEB-IISS; 81 countries, 3836 athletes) and local
organising committee medical facilities (81 countries,
567 athletes). Univariate unadjusted incidences (injuries
per 1000 athlete days with 95% CIs), injury proportion
(IP, %) and injury burden (days lost per 1000 athlete
days) are reported.
