Emergency services in sports environments are crucial to ensuring the safety of those participating. Although Rio de Janeiro boasts a large and varied number of sports facilities, little is known about the dynamics of care provided in these locations. The primary objective of this study was to analyze the emergency response data from sports environments attended by the Military Fire Brigade of the State of Rio de Janeiro (CBMERJ). Secondly, the study aimed to compare the factors associated with emergency care at sports facilities, identify the most common injury sites, infer the causes of these accidents, and observe the frequency of fatalities during sports activities. For this study, 615 data points from the first emergency rescue group (1GSE) of the Rio de Janeiro Military Fire Brigade were analyzed, divided into North (n = 215), South (n = 145), West (n = 214), and Central (n = 30) zones. The dependent variables were: gender, outcome types, care types, transport types, immobilization, care characterization, care strategy, death details, emergency occurrences, and injury distribution by region. The zones were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn’s post hoc analysis, with a significance level of p≤0.05. Statistical analysis revealed differences between the zones when comparing outcomes, with the northern zone showing higher values (~75%) of treated and removed victims compared to the western zone (60%). There were also differences between the zones in the type of care provided, where the northern zone showed higher values (~35%) of intermediate care compared to the western (~20%), southern (~25%), and central (%) zones. The type of transport used varied between zones, with the southern zone showing higher usage of rapid response vehicles (ASE L) than the northern and central regions. The analysis further revealed a difference in immobilization conditions, with the central zone showing a lower frequency (~20%) of immobilization, that is, a higher proportion of "other" outcomes compared to the northern (~40%), western (%), and southern (~50%) zones.
