| Abstract | Participating or winning a medal in major track and field (athletics) competitions is the goal of every athlete. However, health problems can impair sports performance and affect this dream. Therefore, we present 10 tips to help hurdle the challenges of illness/injury at major athletics championships: 1) Prepare for travel (medical checking, vaccine, time-zone, jet lag, culture, food habits…), 2) Respect athlete characteristics and discipline specificity (sex, endurance/explosive), 3) Educate athletes and their entourages regarding prevention, 4) Vigilance of painful symptoms and subclinical illness markers, 5) Avoid infection risk (washing hands, safe food and drink, avoid contact with sick people…), 6) Train appropriately and optimally (physical conditioning, technical training, load management, psychological preparation), 7) Health status (history of previous injuries, well-being in the month before championships), 8) Lifestyle (good sleep, regular hydration and nutrition with safe water/ food, regular fruits and vegetables, improve recovery strategies…), 9) Environmental considerations (heat, cold, air cleaning, changes or climatic conditions…), 10) Safety (equipment, rules, own-practice in athletics and extra-sport activities). These 10 tips “PREVATHLES” are based on our field experience in addition to existing epidemiological and experimental literature in athletics and other sports. Although there is currently no scientific evidence for their efficacy, sound judgement and logical practice provide a strong basis, and given the low risk of using them in the benefit/risk balance, we suggest athletes and those around them follow these 10 tips to limit the impact of injury/illness on championship performance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
