Incidence of injury in the pre-competition and competition periods for athletes competing at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games
| Period | Total no of injuries (% total no of injuries) | No of athletes with an injury | Total no of athletes competing | Total no of athlete days | Proportion of athletes with an injury (%) | Injury incidence: injuries/1000 athlete days (95% CI) |
| All | 386 (100) | 352 | 4403 | 66 045 | 8.0 | 5.8 (5.3 to 6.5) |
| Pre-competition | 99 (25.6) | 95 | 4403 | 13 209 | 2.2 | 7.5 (6.1 to 9.1)* |
| Competition | 287 (74.4) | 269 | 4403 | 52 836 | 6.1 | 5.4 (4.8 to 6.1) |
Some athletes (n=12) sustained more than one injury in the pre-competition and/or competition periods, resulting in total numbers of athletes injured not equalling the total listed for the entire Games period.
*Significantly higher incidence than competition period (p=0.0053).
