Abstract

　Athletes will compete in a total of 55 Olympic and Paralympic sports at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games between July and September 2020. It is well known that regular exercise and physical activity are associated with the reduction of morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular events. However, the question remains whether the health benefits of sports participation decrease the risk of morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases, particularly in Olympic and Paralympic athletes. In addition, the incidence of acute cardiovascular events may even be increased in visitors to large sports stadiums and television network viewers compared with the general population. Sportology, a new academic discipline field, is a scientific approach to the relationship between sports and health. Sportology integrates sports and health specializations to create opportunities for deepening and further integrating these fields and to give society more effective and efficient academic achievements. In this review, we discuss a comprehensive approach for preventing cardiovascular events during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, from the point of view of Sportology.
