SUMMARY:

Introduction: Parasports research focuses on injury and disease surveillance systems, the result of material acquired retrospectively in major competitions. Despite the pioneering of these studies, there is still a scarcity of information that involves monitoring the entire training period of athletes, who are not exposed to the risk of injury only during the competition. In addition, there are no studies that investigate other important biopsychosocial factors – psychological and emotional, nutritional, related to the use of assistive technology, financial difficulties, and transportation – which can also directly or indirectly interfere in the performance of para-athletes and, therefore, should be monitored as well as injuries and diseases. Objectives: To monitor the undesirable biopsychosocial outcomes present in the practice of parasports at a Paralympic Reference Center to raise requirements for the proposition and technological maturation of a surveillance system for undesirable biopsychosocial outcomes in parasport. Methods: We conducted a longitudinal study to record the prevalence, incidence and risks of undesirable biopsychosocial outcomes present in the practice of parasports modalities of a Paralympic Reference Center. The outcomes were recorded through notifications in a specific online form, created in Google Forms, for investigation in paralympic modalities, during two periods (pre-season and season) of a complete cycle of sports training (one year). Results: We performed the parasport surveillance of 95 athletes, distributed in eight Paralympic modalities. The majority (78%) presented some undesirable biopsychosocial outcome over the five months of surveillance. We found in the results categories of important biopsychosocial outcomes such as absence of athletes in training and situations related to environmental factors. The data, in processing completion, indicate a higher incidence and prevalence of outcomes focused on components such as Activity and Participation and Contextual Factors than the component of Structure and Function of the body (categories of Injuries and diseases). Conclusion: Based on the surveillance performed, we monitor relevant undesirable biopsychosocial outcomes during the training of parasports modalities, which will contribute to the expansion of horizons in other studies in parasport. In addition, we identified essential elements that should make up a parasports surveillance system and, thus, direct future programs to prevent or minimize outcomes in parasport in an assertive manner, considering the biopsychosocial model.
