Beyond the Finish Line. Research insights from the Invictus Games longitudinal study

Abstract: Participation in sport for recovery through the Invictus Games has been shown to have a significant short- and long-term positive impact on the recovery journey of international wounded, injured or sick servicemen and women (WIS). While the full results of the research project 'Beyond The Finish Line' will be released in 2022 and will incorporate findings from the upcoming, rescheduled Invictus Games The Hague 2020; early analysis of the results of the Invictus Games Sydney 2018 have so far indicated that competitors experienced greater posttraumatic growth than those who did not compete.
