We recorded the daily occurrence of injury and illness through the electrical medical record used in the polyclinic at
athletes’ village during the period of 18th FINA World Championships Gwangju 2019. Data were collected through
the following methods: paper charts and electronic charts used in Polyclinicsystem. Patients' qualifications, gender,
age, nationality, diagnosis, and treatment were investigated, the patients were treated with acupuncture, chuna
manual therapy, cupping, and others.
Results Among the 3080 cases reported at the Polyclinic from July 5th to 29th in 2019, 1135 cases were treated in
Korean Medicine clinic and this is about 36.8% of all the cases, the leading percentage in the Polyclinic. In 1135 cases, the cases that would fit the category of athletes were 509 cases (44.8%), the category of team officials were 221
cases (19.4%) and the category of FINA family were 92 cases (8.1%). Nationality of Russia was the most with 72 cases, and nationality of Republic of South Africa was the 2nd most with 69 cases. Respectively the ratio of injury among
the patient visited the clinic was 89% (n=1010), and the illness was 10.6% (n=120). Respectively 48% of cases
(n=543) who visited the clinic had an experience of acupuncture treatment before and 52% (n=592) cases never experienced acupuncture before. The frequency of treatment method used in the clinic was chuna manual therapy(64%), acupuncture(64%), and cupping(16%) in order. The frequency in location of body part treated was body
trunk (n=516, 49%), lower limbs (n=205, 18%), upper limbs (n=145, 12.8%) and head & neck (n=93, 8.2%) in order.
Conclusions The clinic using acupuncture and chuna manual therapy was established inside the polyclinic during the
sports events hosted by the Federation Internationale de Natation for the first time in history. The presented data
