Abstract
The injury surveillance system used during international athletics championships provided reliable data for “sex”, “location”, “event”, “circumstance”, and “age”. More caution should be taken for “assumed cause” and “type”, and even more for “estimated time-loss”. This injury surveillance system displays satisfactory data quality (reliable data and high data completeness), and thus, can be recommended as tool to collect epidemiology information on injuries during international athletics championships.
