No studies were found for cyclocross, gravel, indoor, trials and esports cycling disciplines. BMX had the highest injury incidence overall, with 4.59 injuries per 365 days (95%\u2009CI 4.34 to 4.85), while para-cyclists had the highest illness prevalence at 3.89 illnesses per 365 days (95%\u2009CI 3.42 to 4.36). The most common injuries were upper limb injuries, particularly in BMX (65.21% (95% CI 54.50 to 74.65)), followed by road cycling (48.32% (95% CI 46.51 to 50.14)) and track cycling (44.18% (95% CI 43.28 to 45.09)). In road cycling, 14.36% (95% CI 13.12 to 15.69) of injuries were head, neck or face-related. Skin lacerations, abrasions and lesions were the most common injury types across disciplines, with bone fractures being the second most common. Despite a higher prevalence of head, neck and face injuries, road cycling had the lowest incidence of concussions (4.68% (95% CI 4.04 to 5.42)). Gastrointestinal illness had the highest prevalence overall in road cycling (17.90% (95% CI 14.4 to 22.0)), while respiratory illness was most prevalent in Track (31.82% (95% CI 22.29 to 42.61)) and MTB (31.82% (95% CI 22.29 to 42.61)).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This systematic review highlights the high prevalence of upper limb injuries across competitive cycling disciplines, particularly in BMX, road and track cycling.
