Participating athletes in the Summer Olympic Games 2008
Sport injury
The study identifies high-risk areas for sports injuries during the 2008 Summer Olympics, emphasizing the need for targeted injury prevention strategies in elite athletes.
The data indicate that the injury surveillance system covered almost all of the participating athletes, and the results highlight areas of high risk for sport injury such as the in-competition period, the ankle and thigh, and specific sports. The identification of these factors should stimulate future research and subsequent policy change to prevent injury in elite athletes.
