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.

• 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
