One of the primary roles of Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) is to promote athlete health. The planning and delivery of major international event medical services is carried out in collaboration with the Local Organizing Committee Medical Commission (LOCMC). Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital provided the medical services to the 12th FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) creating a unique opportunity for collaboration with FINA.
The purpose of this paper is to review the planning and delivery of medical services and athlete health promotion projects during the 12th FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) to facilitate the planning of future sporting events of this size and scope.
The 12th FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) hosted 974 athletes from 166 countries. The LOC medical team recorded all medical encounters-newly incurred (or acute exacerbations of chronic) injuries and illnesses as well as follow-up consultations.
More than 90% of teams did not travel with a team physician and relied on the LOCMC for diagnosis and treatment of injuries and illnesses in athletes and accredited team officials. The LOC medical team had a total of 554 medical encounters: 385 therapy, 34 athlete injury, 65 athlete illness and 70 non-athlete encounters.
The LOCMC in collaboration with FINA delivered comprehensive medical services to athletes, officials and spectators attending the 12th FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m). This review paper provides information relevant to the planning and delivery of LOCMC medical services for future international swimming events contributing to the FINA objective of promoting athlete health.
国际游泳联合会（FINA）的主要职责之一是促进运动员的健康。主要国际赛事的医疗服务规划和实施是与当地组委会医疗委员会（LOCMC）合作进行的。Aspetar 骨科和运动医学医院为第 12 届国际泳联世界游泳锦标赛（25 米）提供了医疗服务，为与 FINA 的合作创造了独特的机会。
本文旨在回顾第 12 届国际泳联世界游泳锦标赛（25 米）的医疗服务规划和实施情况，以及运动员健康促进项目，为今后举办此类规模和范围的体育赛事提供规划经验。
第 12 届国际泳联世界游泳锦标赛（25 米）有来自 166 个国家的 974 名运动员参赛。当地组委会医疗队记录了所有的医疗接触事件——新发生的（或慢性疾病急性加重的）损伤和疾病，以及后续的咨询。
超过 90%的队伍没有随队医生，而是依赖 LOCMC 对运动员和认证队官员的伤病进行诊断和治疗。当地组委会医疗队共进行了 554 次医疗接触：385 次治疗，34 次运动员损伤，65 次运动员疾病，70 次非运动员接触。
LOCMC 与 FINA 合作，为参加第 12 届国际泳联世界游泳锦标赛（25 米）的运动员、官员和观众提供了全面的医疗服务。本文回顾了相关信息，为今后国际游泳赛事的 LOCMC 医疗服务规划和实施提供了参考，有助于实现 FINA 促进运动员健康的目标。
