Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective is to determine the prevalence of non-traumatic pathologies in the paragliding population using the Nordic type questionnaire.

The paragliding pilots population frequently evoque pathologies, discomfort, or pain in the course of their practice. Said pain and discomfort, though unerelated any form of accident, seem to have an impact on the pilots' flying and their participation in daily life.

However, no epidemiological data are available in the literature. Investigators hypothesize the existence of non-traumatic disorders and it seems interesting to quantify the extent of the phenomenon. The results of this study might encourage the proposition of preventive measures in order to minimize a potential risk factor for paragliding accidents, and participation restrictions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this cross-sectional descriptive epidemiological survey, investigators wish to quantify epidemiological parameters such as the prevalence of pathologies and their consequences in the activities of daily life.

For this purpose, an email containing the link to answer the online questionnaire will be sent to all the licensees.

The link of the questionnaire will be sent directly to all clubs in each league.

The main objective is to calculate the prevalence with descriptive statistics. The primary outcome is the prevalence of non-traumatic pathology in paragliding pilots that had registered to the French Paragliding federation (FFVL) in 2022.

The prevalence will be infered from the IRSST Standardised Nordic Questionnaire with the following formula : Prevalence = (FS4+FS6=yes and FS2=no ) divided by the total number of respondents.

FS4 item "Yes" = pain in the last 12 months FS6 item "Yes" = activity limitations) FS2 item "No" = Non-traumatic disorders

This corresponds to having felt pain in the body region indicated, at least once during the last 12 months, as well as a restriction of participation following this pain, but without having suffered trauma in the area.

For the secondary outcomes will aim at exploring several hypotheses related to personal and environmental factors that could be correlated to the incidence of the nontraumatic disorders. They will be calculated with bivariate descriptive statistics using the Pvalue.io software.
