Participation in sport and exercise training, while aiding in the reintegration and confidence building of wounded service personnel, also has potential to prepare them for elite sport competition. It is this encouragement of the war injured to use sport and recreational physical activity as a means of rehabilitation back into civilian life, which has become the worldwide phenomenon of Paralympic sport.
This paper evaluates existing research relating to the incidence of types of war injuries and the use of sport within the rehabilitation process.
Literature review.
Initial searches were conducted in the electronic databases EBSCOHost, ScienceDirect and Pubmed using the keywords 'veterans' and 'sport' or 'physical activity'. These searches were then supplemented by tracking all key references from the appropriate articles identified. A narrative literature review methodology was employed.
Although it is clear from the reported literature that further development of available rehabilitation services is necessary to provide the required level of care for the types of mental and physical injuries and the concept of 'therapeutic recreation' is becoming popular, there is still a need for the development of specific protocols to identify individuals who can participate and excel in a specific sport at an elite level.
Drawing on the US military experience it can be argued that sport in the UK and other parts of the world should be more widely recognized as a component of rehabilitation. This is not just for the role that sport can play as a tool for rehabilitation but also for the intrinsic and extrinsic benefits that participation in elite sport can offer.
参与体育和运动训练，在帮助受伤军人重新融入社会和建立信心的同时，也有可能让他们为精英体育比赛做好准备。正是这种鼓励战争伤员将体育和娱乐性身体活动作为重新回归平民生活的康复手段，才形成了残奥会运动这一全球现象。
本文评估了与战争伤类型发生率以及康复过程中体育活动运用相关的现有研究。
文献综述。
最初在电子数据库EBSCOHost、ScienceDirect和Pubmed中使用关键词“退伍军人”和“体育”或“身体活动”进行检索。然后通过追踪所识别的相关文章中的所有关键参考文献对这些检索进行补充。采用叙述性文献综述方法。
尽管从已发表的文献中可以清楚地看出，有必要进一步发展现有的康复服务，以提供针对各类身心损伤所需的护理水平，并且“治疗性娱乐”的概念正变得流行，但仍需要制定具体方案，以确定能够参与并在精英水平的特定运动项目中表现出色的个人。
借鉴美国军方的经验，可以认为英国和世界其他地区的体育活动应更广泛地被视为康复的一个组成部分。这不仅是因为体育可以作为康复工具发挥作用，还因为参与精英体育能带来内在和外在的益处。
