This article explores the characterization of sports injuries among young athletes participating in the 2023 Paralympic School Games. Injuries during the physiological growth phase can not only compromise the development of sports skills but also harm the physical development expected for their age group. Adaptive mechanisms to training are the main determinants of the location of injuries, traumas and musculoskeletal complaints. This paper aimed to identify occurrence of sports injuries in para athletes during the 2023 School Paralympics. The study population consisted of students who participated in the national stage of the 2023 School Paralympics, held at the Paralympic Training Center in the state of São Paulo. The sample consisted of 640 para-athletes, 253 (60.5%) females and 387 (60.5%) males, with an average age of 14.06 years. Overall, 14.9% of the participants reported injuries/illness. The team with the highest percentage of injured members was from the state of Tocantins (14.8%). Most of the injured athletes had intellectual disabilities (41.46%), practiced athletics (56.9%) and were in the final years of elementary school (21.95%), with an average age of 14.56 years, and the majority were male (56.86%).
本文探讨了参加2023年残奥学校运动会的年轻运动员的运动损伤特征。生理生长阶段的损伤不仅会影响运动技能的发展，还会损害其年龄组预期的身体发育。训练的适应机制是损伤、创伤和肌肉骨骼不适部位的主要决定因素。本文旨在确定2023年学校残奥会期间残疾运动员运动损伤的发生率。研究人群包括参加在圣保罗州残奥训练中心举行的2023年学校残奥会全国赛阶段的学生。样本包括640名残疾运动员，其中253名（60.5%）为女性，387名（60.5%）为男性，平均年龄为14.06岁。总体而言，14.9%的参与者报告有伤病。受伤成员比例最高的团队来自托坎廷斯州（14.8%）。大多数受伤运动员有智力障碍（41.46%），从事田径运动（56.9%），处于小学最后几年（21.95%），平均年龄为14.56岁，且大多数为男性（56.86%）。
