“…18 Little research exists on sports injuries to young athletes with disabilities. 19 In a study in high school athletes with disabilities, 38 injuries were reported (2 per 1000 athletes); soccer (3.7 per 1000) had the highest rate of injury, including mostly abrasions and contusions. At highest risk for injury were athletes with autism, history of seizures, and starters.…”

“…This information may provide the physicians and trainers the rationale to stratify a protocol for preparticipation medical examination of these athletes, to create special guidelines, particularly for athletes with autism and seizure history. 19 Moreover, little is known about sport nutritional problems and requirements of athletes with physical disabilities. Since proper nutrition is important for both performance and injury healing, learning about the nutritional areas in which athletes with disabilities are deficient may assist professionals in educating them.…”

Objectives: Athletes with disabilities are highly skilled. sports-related injuries and disorders interfere with their efforts. several aspects of these injuries have been studied in previous studies. the aim of this study was to correlate the types of injuries with the disability group in athletes with physical disabilities. methOds: one hundred and thirty nine elite athletes with physical disabilities completed a questionnaire about sports-related injuries that resulted in at least one day off from training or competition. Results: All disability groups show soft tissue injuries in high percentages. Cerebral palsy (CP) athletes reported soft tissue injuries (P < 0.01) and lacerations (P < 0.001) in higher percentage than other Disabled Athletes (oDA) and spinal Cord Injured (sCI) athletes. spinal cord injured athletes sustained fractures (P < 0.05) and blisters (P < 0.05) in higher percentages than the other groups. no differences were found between the studied groups for contusions, low back pain, ruptures, thermoregulation disorders, urinary tract infections, pressure sores and pneumonias. cOnclusiOn: CP athletes sustained soft tissue injuries and lacerations more than other disability groups did because moving and walking patterns of this population add risk factors for such injuries. Fractures and blisters occur more frequently to sCI athletes because they participate in higher percentage in wheelchair basketball which is high risky sport.

A biomechanical analysis of sports performance provides an objective method of determining performance of a particular sporting technique. In particular, it aims to add to the understanding of the mechanisms influencing performance, characterization of athletes and provide insights into injury predisposition. While the performance in sport of able-bodied athletes is well recognized in the literature, less information and understanding are known on the complexity, constraints and demands placed on the body of an individual with a disability. This article provides a dialogue that outlines scientific issues of the performance analysis of multi-level athletes with a disability, including Paralympians. Four integrated themes are explored, the first of which focuses on how biomechanics can contribute to the understanding of sports performance in athletes with a disability and how it may be used as an evidence-based tool. This latter point questions the potential for a possible cultural shift led by the emergence of user-friendly instruments. The second theme briefly discusses the role of reliability of sports performance and addresses the debate of two-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses. The third theme addresses key biomechanical parameters and provides guidance to clinicians and coaches on the approaches adopted using the biomechanical/sports performance analysis for an athlete with a disability starting out, to the emerging and elite Paralympian. For completeness of this discourse, the final theme is based on the controversial issues on the role of assisted devices, and the inclusion of Paralympians into able-bodied sport. All combined, this dialogue highlights the intricate relationship between biomechanics and training of individuals with a disability. Furthermore, it illustrates the complexity of modern training of athletes, which can only lead to a better appreciation of the performances to be delivered in the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Clinical relevance Biomechanical analysis can play a fundamental role in optimizing the performance of an athlete with a disability. Clinicians should be aware and understand the mechanisms that may influence performance and have an appreciation of the factors that may predispose such athletes to injury.

“…Estudios previos también han puesto de manifiesto que el riesgo de lesiones puede complicarse al existir una discapacidad previa (Ramirez et al 2009). Esto es de interés particular debido a que las lesiones y molestias relacionadas con el deporte representan serias limitaciones para la actividad física que pueden conducir a los deportistas a interrumpir sus programas de entrenamiento (Mahy et al 2010).…”

RESUMENEl presente estudio descriptivo de tipo transversal se diseñó para determinar el nivel de hidratación de deportistas con discapacidad intelectual y su comparación con adultos sedentarios con la misma discapacidad.Participaron 22 deportistas federados que realizan el mismo programa de entrenamiento además de 22 adultos sedentarios ajustados en sexo, edad y cociente de inteligencia. Los parámetros ensayados fueron la densidad urinaria
