The Road to Tailored Injury Prevention in Adapted Sports

In this thesis, we aimed to explore the patterns and severity of sport-related health problems in adapted sports. Additionally, we sought to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the newly created TIPAS intervention in reducing the prevalence and burden of these health problems. Our research examined sport-related health problems from multiple perspectives, revealing that while our understanding of their occurrence, risk factors, and consequences is improving, many areas still need further investigation. The development of the TIPAS intervention marks a first step towards integrating direct automatic preventive feedback for athletes with physical impairments. The TIPAS intervention encourages athletes to take proactive steps in managing their health by offering easily accessible preventive advice, which may enhance overall health and maintain athletes' participation in sports. Future research could focus on refining this concept to better suit the specific needs of athletes, extending the advice to cover mental health aspects, and linking the intervention with other stakeholders to collaboratively ensure the overall health and well-being of the athletes.
