Health topics which most International Federations regarded as important and in which the International Federations felt insufficiently active were \u2018<jats:italic>team physician certification<\/jats:italic>\u2019, \u2018<jats:italic>prevention of harassment and abuse<\/jats:italic>\u2019, \u2018<jats:italic>eating disorders\/disordered eating<\/jats:italic>\u2019, \u2018<jats:italic>mental health<\/jats:italic>\u2019 and \u2018<jats:italic>injury surveillance<\/jats:italic>\u2019.

Improving coach and athlete knowledge of the health issues could also facilitate health programme delivery. Time constraints could be mitigated by sharing experiences among the International Federations, Association of Summer Olympic International Federations and the IOC. International Federations should focus on those health-related topics that they identified as being important, yet rate as having insufficient activity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2018-100202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,15]],"date-time":"2019-03-15T21:21:01Z","timestamp":1552684861000},"page":"1117-1125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Health promotion by International Olympic Sport Federations: priorities and barriers"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8604-2014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margo","family":"Mountjoy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Astrid","family":"Junge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Budgett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominik","family":"Doerr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michel","family":"Leglise","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stuart","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Moran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeremy","family":"Foster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024100707101384000_53.17.1117.1","unstructured":"International Olympic Committee.
