Regarding the use of anonymized integrated data
The Japanese Center for Research on Women in Sport (JCRWS) at Juntendo University developed the Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation for female athletes (“PPE for female athletes”) as part of the Japan Sports Agency–commissioned project for FY2019 and FY2020 titled Development and Support Project for Female Athletes: Survey Research for the Strategic Strengthening of Female Athletes. Subsequently, in 2025, a version for male athletes was developed, leading to the establishment of a comprehensive health evaluation system for athletes: “PPE for female and male athletes.”
The “PPE for female and male athletes” is expected to collect and analyze data from male athletes, in addition to that from female athletes, which will help further improve the accuracy of health assessments conducted before exercise participation. Promoting research to understand and improve the current status of athletes and para-athletes in Japan is the mission of university research institutes, and further examination of your valuable data will help maintain and support the health and safety of many athletes and para-athletes. Therefore, we kindly ask for your consent to use anonymized, aggregated data for research purposes.
