BackgroundAcute muscle injuries in elite athletes are responsible for a large portion of time loss injuries.AimTo describe the frequency, the anatomic distribution, and severity of imaging-detected acute muscle injuries among athletes who competed in the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Olympics.MethodsWe recorded all sports injuries reported by the National Olympic Committee medical teams and the Organising Committee medical staff during the 2016 Summer Olympics. Imaging of acute muscle injuries was performed at the IOC’s polyclinic within the Olympic Village using ultrasound and 3.0 T and 1.5 T MRI scanners. The assessment of images was performed centrally by three musculoskeletal radiologists. The distribution of injuries by anatomic location and sports discipline and the severity of injuries were recorded.ResultsIn total, 11 274 athletes from 207 teams were included. A total of 1101 injuries were reported. Central review of radiological images revealed 81 acute muscle injuries in 77 athletes (66% male, mean age: 25.4 years, range 18–38 years). Athletics (track and field) athletes were the most commonly affected (n=39, 48%), followed by football players (n=9, 11%). The majority of injuries affected muscles from lower limbs (n=68, 84%), with the hamstring being the most commonly involved. Most injuries were grade 2 injuries according to the Peetrons classification (n=44, 54%), and we found 18 injuries exhibiting intramuscular tendon involvement on MRI.ConclusionImaging-detected acute muscle injuries during the 2016 Summer Olympics affected mainly thigh muscles in athletics disciplines.

SummaryThe present article deals with Croatian and Serbian terms that denote people with disabilities placing a particular focus on the structure of these terms and the frequency of their use in current language. The study is based on 398 articles about the XV Summer Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro published in the online issues of 19 Croatian and Serbian newspapers from September 2016. The texts reflect an increasing interest in the situation of people with disabilities in Croatia and Serbia. They show a growing tendency to use altern­ate, non-discriminatory terms instead of the formerly established ones. One example is the term “invalid”, which was common in the past, but is today replaced by “osoba s/ sa invaliditetom”.

Purpose: This review aimed to analyze and summarize current literature related to the characteristics, incidence of injuries of different winter Paralympic sports events and to discuss the key aspects that can be used to develop possible prevention strategies for future Winter Paralympic Games. Methods: An electronic search was performed in Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science databases using the following key words: “Paralympic” AND “winter sports” AND “injury” OR “prevention strategy.” Inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to screening all the identified studies. Of 446 identified studies, 11 studies were included. Results: Most studies reported the injuries of disabled athletes in alpine skiing/snowboarding and ice sledge hockey, few studies reported injuries in cross-country skiing/biathlon and wheelchair curling. For these Winter Paralympic athletes, acute, traumatic injuries seem to be more common than overuse or chronic injuries, and alpine skiing and ice sledge hockey have always been the most dangerous winter sports events. However, the rates and injury locations appear to be disability and sport dependent. Results of this review demonstrated that there are 2 key areas in which specific prevention strategies would influence sports injuries and performance in Paralympic winter sports, namely, equipment in winter sports and physical condition of disabled athletes. Conclusion: According to the results, it is apparent that the overall injury rates sustained by disabled athletes are high and can be comparable with injury rates in able-bodied counterparts. While with few studies reported the pattern of injuries and possible prevention strategies, it is difficult to further understand the injury mechanisms and determine effective prevention strategies. Further longitudinal and disability specific studies are much needed.

Paralympic Games

The Brazilian paralympic sport is living a moment of sporting highlight because of their recent achievements: eigth place in the Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games 2016 and leader for three consecutive editions of the Para-PanAmerican Games (2007, 2011, 2015). These results makes Brazil as been viewed how a world paralympic power. The media can contribute to the country remain in this status, not only the visibility of great athletes, but also so that more people know the Paralympic sport and are encouraged to join the sport. Thus, this essay aims to reflect on the influence of the media in the creation and construction of Brazilian Paralympic idols from the years 2000 to the Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games in 2016. It has a qualitative approach with exploratory and descriptive procedures. Through theoretical reflection with literature, the text seeks to provide some relevant discussions and reflections on the subject. Since 2000s the Brazilian Paralympic Committee (CPB) has invested in the coverage of the Paralympic sports, and this initiative has generated positive results for the country, since many idols have been created and contribute to the emergence of new Paralympic generations.
