Why medical assistance is necessary at major sporting events

Major sporting events, such as marathons, football tournaments and others, attract crowds of athletes and spectators, creating excitement and energy.

However, despite the excitement, these events pose significant risks to the health and safety of participants. The presence of qualified medical assistance is essential to deal immediately with any incidents and to ensure the smooth running of the event.

Athletes may sustain injuries such as sprains, fractures, or muscle injuries during the events. Also, intense physical activities can cause heart attacks or other serious conditions. Immediate medical attention can prevent these conditions from worsening and save lives. Also, large crowds and intense activity can cause unexpected emergencies such as dehydration, heat stroke, and respiratory problems. The presence of qualified medical staff allows for immediate intervention and proper management of these incidents. Athletes often face intense stress and pressure during major competitions.

The medical team can provide psychological support and help manage stress, improving their performance and preventing psychosomatic problems. Medical assistance even at large events is not limited to incident management, but also includes working with organisers to develop and implement contingency plans. This preparation ensures that all participants and spectators are safe during the event.
