Clinical Trial Summary

Since 2014, the armed forces have been offering injured military personnel the opportunity to rebuild their lives through sport. Sport, considered as the "DNA" of the military, thus becomes a vector of socio-professional reintegration for physically and psychologically injured soldiers.

In its 2019-2024 national Sport-Health strategy and in the Ministry of the Armed Forces' "Sport 2025" plan, rebuilding injured military personnel through sport is becoming a major focus of the new sports policy for the armed forces.

In addition to the well identified physiological benefits, sports are recognized as a way to encourage social relationships, fight stress and isolation, and promote solidarity. Sport thus contributes to the physical and mental reconstruction of the injured, promoting the phenomenon of resilience well described in the Anglo-Saxon world.

The implementation of the Reconstruction through Sport Program ("PRS") is based on the coordinated actions of the assistance units for the wounded, the French Armed Forces Health Service and the National Center for Defense Sports (CNSD), which have set up a complete sports program (discovery, leisure, competitions), adapted and evolving, regardless of the physical and/or psychological after-effects and the disability secondary to the injury.

In France, there are an increasing number of PRS-labeled sports events, such as the Military Injury and Sports Meetings, the Ad Victoriam Challenge, and internationally, the Invictus Games and the Military World Games. It should also be noted that this pathway leads some injured people to high-level competition.

No study has yet evaluated the path of reconstruction through sport for French injured military personnel initiated in 2014.
