There is increasing interest in applying systems Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) methods in sport. Risk assessment (RA) methods can be used identify risks which may impact the performance of individual athletes, teams, and overall sports systems; however, they have not yet been tested in sport. This study sets out to apply and compare three systems thinking-based RA methods in the context of elite sports performance and report on the frequency and types of the risks identified. The Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) method, the Event Analysis of Systemic Teamwork Broken Links (EAST-BL) method, and the Networked Hazard Analysis and Risk Management System (Net-HARMS) method were applied to elite women's road cycling to identify all the credible risks that could degrade optimal team performance. The findings demonstrate that all three methods appear to provide useful results in a context other than safety, and that multiple risks threatening the performance of the cycling team were identified. Whilst the frequency and types of risks differed across the methods applied, there are additional theoretical, methodological, and practical implications to be considered prior to the selection and use of systems thinking-based RA approaches. Recommendations and directions for future HFE and sports science research are discussed.

人们越来越希望在运动中应用系统人为因素和人体工程学（HFE）方法。可以使用风险评估（RA）方法来识别可能影响单个运动员，团队和整体运动系统性能的风险；但是，它们尚未在运动中经过测试。这项研究着手在精英运动表现的背景下应用和比较三种基于系统思维的RA方法，并报告所发现风险的频率和类型。系统理论过程分析（STPA）方法，系统团队协作断开链接的事件分析（EAST-BL）方法和网络危害分析与风险管理系统（Net-HARMS）方法被用于精英女性的公路骑行中以进行识别所有可能降低团队最佳绩效的可信风险。调查结果表明，所有三种方法似乎都可以在安全性以外的环境中提供有用的结果，并且发现了威胁骑自行车队表现的多种风险。尽管所采用的方法的风险频率和类型有所不同，但在选择和使用基于系统思维的RA方法之前，还需要考虑其他理论，方法和实践意义。讨论了有关未来HFE和体育科学研究的建议和方向。以及在选择和使用基于系统思考的RA方法之前要考虑的实际含义。讨论了有关未来HFE和体育科学研究的建议和方向。以及在选择和使用基于系统思考的RA方法之前要考虑的实际含义。讨论了有关未来HFE和体育科学研究的建议和方向。
