Comprehensive 1-year multilevel study of sports injuries in para athletes: impact of season timing, years of sports experience, impairment and sports type
These findings highlight the importance of considering the investigated factors in injury prevention for para athletes. Careful monitoring throughout the season-especially for para athletes with lower or higher levels of sports experience, those with physical impairments and those competing in para athletics-could yield significant benefits.
