To ascertain whether it is possible to assess countries bidding for international sporting events based on public health and sports medicine criteria. In particular, the authors undertook this exercise for countries bidding for the 2018 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Football World Cup (2018 World Cup).
A scorecard framework approach to pose and answer nine relevant questions. Questions were answered using Medline-listed references (where possible) and internet research.
England scored the highest overall, largely due to its sports medicine training programme and recognition, and funding of treatment for sports injuries. The Netherlands/Belgium scored highly in the questions relating to public health expenditure, Australia was very strong in sports medicine research, and Japan was the best of the bidding countries in terms of having a lower prevalence of overweight and obese people.
It is possible to assess countries bidding for international sporting events based on their performance with respect to sports medicine, physical activity and health promotion criteria. Bodies organising major sporting events such as FIFA and the International Olympic Committee may wish to consider making public health measures part of the bidding criteria for hosting these events.
确定根据公共卫生和运动医学标准评估申办国际体育赛事的国家是否可行。特别是,作者对申办 2018 年国际足球联合会(FIFA)世界杯(2018 年世界杯)的国家进行了此项研究。
采用记分卡框架方法来提出和回答九个相关问题。问题的答案是利用 Medline 列出的参考文献(如有可能)和互联网研究得出的。
英格兰的总得分最高,这主要归功于其运动医学培训计划以及对运动伤害治疗的认可和资金支持。荷兰/比利时在与公共卫生支出相关的问题上得分较高,澳大利亚在运动医学研究方面非常强大,而日本在申办国中肥胖和超重人口比例最低,表现最好。
根据运动医学、身体活动和健康促进标准,评估申办国际体育赛事的国家是可行的。组织国际重大体育赛事的机构,如国际足联和国际奥委会,可能希望考虑将公共卫生措施纳入主办这些赛事的申办标准。
