Preparticipation examinations (PPEs) are unstandardized screening tools routinely used to collect an athlete's baseline health information prior to the start of a new competitive season. However, many PPEs include minimal and often nonspecific questions related to the health concerns of female athletes. A lack of female athlete specific health questions could result in missed red flags and subsequent injury or illness. As such, the objectives of this scoping review were to (a) determine what female athlete specific health questions currently exist in PPEs in the scientific literature to prevent injury and illness, and (b) map the results against the health domains outlined in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) consensus statement supplement on the female athlete. We searched Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, Medline Ovid, and SPORTDiscus from inception to December 2022. Any study with female athlete specific health PPE questions or recommendations for questions (i.e., menstrual health, eating habits, musculoskeletal health, .) was included. Three reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts, followed by full text articles for eligibility and data extraction, with conflicts resolved by a third-party reviewer. Extracted data were summarized into 3 determined groupings. Of the 1356 studies screened, 41 were included in this study. Forty studies (98%) included questions/recommendations related to menstrual health. Thirty-one studies (76%) had questions/recommendations concerning disordered eating/eating habits. Twenty-four studies (59%) referred to body weight/image, and 16 studies (39%) referred to musculoskeletal health. No studies included questions on all IOC female athlete health domains. There is currently a gap in female athlete specific health content included in PPEs. A more comprehensive, standardized PPE with a focus on inclusion of female athlete specific health questions and considerations should be developed to improve health and optimal participation of female athletes around the world.

女运动员的具体健康考虑因素是否在赛前检查中得到评估和解决？范围审查和拟议框架


参与前检查（PPE）是非标准化的筛查工具，通常用于在新赛季开始之前收集运动员的基线健康信息。然而，许多个人防护装备只包含与女运动员健康问题相关的最少且通常是非具体的问题。缺乏女运动员具体的健康问题可能会导致错过危险信号并导致随后的伤害或疾病。因此，本次范围审查的目的是（a）确定科学文献中个人防护装备中目前存在哪些女性运动员特定的健康问题，以防止受伤和疾病，以及（b）根据国际标准中概述的健康领域绘制结果奥林匹克委员会（IOC）关于女运动员的共识声明补充。我们检索了 Embase、Scopus、CINAHL、Medline Ovid 和 SPORTDiscus，从开始到 2022 年 12 月。任何针对女运动员特定健康 PPE 问题或问题建议（即月经健康、饮食习惯、肌肉骨骼健康等）的研究都包含在内。三名审稿人独立筛选标题和摘要，然后对全文进行资格和数据提取，冲突由第三方审稿人解决。提取的数据被总结为 3 个确定的分组。在筛选的 1356 项研究中，本研究纳入了 41 项。四十项研究 (98%) 包括与月经健康相关的问题/建议。三十一项研究 (76%) 提出了有关饮食失调/饮食习惯的问题/建议。 24 项研究 (59%) 涉及体重/形象，16 项研究 (39%) 涉及肌肉骨骼健康。没有研究涵盖所有国际奥委会女运动员健康领域的问题。 目前，个人防护装备中包含的女运动员特定健康内容存在差距。应开发更全面、标准化的个人防护装备，重点关注女运动员的具体健康问题和注意事项，以改善世界各地女运动员的健康和最佳参与度。
