Objective To describe injuries and illnesses across traditional and new sports among the participating athletes of the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Summer Games (BA YOG) (6–18 October 2018). Methods We recorded the daily number of athlete injuries and illnesses (1) through the reporting of all National Olympic Committee (NOC) medical teams and (2) in the polyclinic and medical venues manned by the BA YOG 2018 medical staff. Results In total, 3.984 athletes from 206 NOCs were observed. NOCs and BA YOG 2018 medical staff reported 619 injuries and 334 illnesses, equalling 15.5 injuries and 8.4 illnesses per 100 athletes over the 13-day period. The eight new sports on the Youth Olympic programme (futsal, beach handball, karate, roller speed skating, kitesurfing, BMX freestyle, climbing and break dancing) fell in between the other sports with respect to injury and illness risk. Injury incidence was highest in rugby (43% of all rugby players), followed by boxing (33%) and badminton (24%), and lowest in swimming, archery, roller speed skating, equestrian, climbing and rowing (<5%). The highest incidences of illness were recorded in golf (20%), followed by triathlon (16%), beach volleyball and diving (both 14%). Of the illnesses, 50% affected the respiratory system and 15% the gastrointestinal system. Injury and illness incidences varied between continents with athletes representing Europe having significantly fewer injuries and illnesses compared with other continents, apart from a similar illness incidence to Asian athletes. Conclusion The overall injury incidence of 15.5 injuries per 100 athletes was higher, while the overall illness incidence of 8.4 illnesses per 100 athletes was similar to previous youth and Olympic Games. The new sports did not differ significantly compared with the other sports with respect to injury and illness risk.

新奥运项目与传统奥运项目相比如何？2018 年阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯青年奥林匹克运动会的伤病情况

目的 描述布宜诺斯艾利斯 2018 年夏季青年奥林匹克运动会 (BA YOG)（2018 年 10 月 6 日至 18 日）参赛运动员在传统和新运动中的伤病情况。方法 我们记录了运动员每天受伤和生病的人数（1）通过所有国家奥委会（NOC）医疗队的报告和（2）在 BA YOG 2018 医务人员执勤的综合诊所和医疗场馆中。结果 共观察到来自 206 个国家奥委会的 3.984 名运动员。国家奥委会和 BA YOG 2018 医务人员报告了 619 人受伤和 334 人患病，相当于在 13 天期间每 100 名运动员有 15.5 人受伤和 8.4 人患病。青奥项目新增八项运动（五人制足球、沙滩手球、空手道、轮滑、风筝冲浪、BMX自由泳、攀岩和霹雳舞）在受伤和疾病风险方面处于其他运动之间。橄榄球的受伤发生率最高（占所有橄榄球运动员的 43%），其次是拳击（33%）和羽毛球（24%），游泳、射箭、轮滑、马术、攀岩和划船的受伤发生率最低（<5%） . 发病率最高的是高尔夫（20%），其次是铁人三项（16%）、沙滩排球和跳水（均为14%）。在这些疾病中，50% 影响呼吸系统，15% 影响胃肠系统。各大洲之间的伤病发生率各不相同，除了与亚洲运动员的发病率相似之外，代表欧洲的运动员与其他大洲相比，受伤和疾病的发生率要低得多。结论每100名运动员15.5人受伤的总体伤害发生率较高，而总发病率为每100名运动员8.4例，与历届青年和奥运会相似。与其他运动相比，新运动在受伤和疾病风险方面没有显着差异。
