Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of sports-related injuries and illnesses

    The athletes will be asked to self-report incidence of sports-related injuries and illnesses based on the surveillence systems developed by Jacobsson et al 2010 and Timpka 2014.

    Weekly during one year

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Exposure of training

    Weekly during one year

  • Pain

    Weekly during one year

  • General well-being

    Weekly during one year

Study Arms (1)

Swedish para-athletes

The total population of athletes in the Swedish Paralympic program, which covers candidates for the Paralympic Summer or Winter Games, will be invited by mail to participate in the study and report their incidence of sports-related injuries and illnesses

Other: Incidence of sports-related injuries and illnesses

Interventions

The SRIIP-study is an epidemiological cohort study aimed to prospectively collect self-report data on sports-related injuries and illnesses incidence and risk exposure during training and competition for approximately one year among Swedish para-athletes.
