The study sought to examine the performance strategies of wounded, ill, and injured service members and Veterans who participate in the Warrior Games. Methods: The Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS) was completed by 23 men and 5 women participants on the first and last days of the Warrior Games. The participants were separated into 2 groups: those who had participated in organized sporting events for more than 1 year (experienced; n=14) and those who had less than 1 year of experience (novice; n=14). A mixed-model ANOVA was used to assess pre–post changes and the effect of experience on total TOPS scores
