Activity, non-running track and field events

This code signifies patient involvement in various track and field activities that do not primarily involve running. This includes events such as throwing (e.g., shot put, discus, javelin), jumping (e.g., long jump, high jump, triple jump), and pole vaulting. It describes the specific type of physical activity that may be associated with an injury or health condition.

Use this code when documenting an injury or health issue that occurred during participation in non-running track and field events. This applies to both competitive and recreational settings. It helps to provide context for the mechanism of injury or the circumstances surrounding a patient's presentation.

• Ensure the activity explicitly excludes any form of running, as indicated by the Excludes1 note.
• Pair this code with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to fully describe the circumstances of the injury.
• Consider the specific event (e.g., throwing, jumping) to confirm it falls under "non-running track and field."
