  "abstract": "Para sport (ie, sport adapted for persons with a physical, sensory and/or intellectual disability) has seen remarkable growth in participation, popularity and social awareness in recent decades. One notable factor in this expansion is the considerable rise in female/women/girl (FWG) para athletes. At the most recent Summer Paralympics (Paris 2024), women accounted for 45% of all para athletes—the highest level of FWG representation in Paralympic history.1 Despite growing participation, FWG para athletes remain dismally under-represented in sport injury prevention and sport medicine research.",
