Principles I Flashcards
Acute sports injury
Sudden onset
Obvious Trauma
Acute Sports injury examples
ligament rupture
fracture
muscle strain
Overuse sports injury
Gradual onset
Repetitive microtrauma
Overuse sports injury examples
Tendinopathy
Stress fracture
Incidence
Most basic expression of risk
Incidence rate
Number of new injuries that occur in a population at risk over a specified time period or the number of new injuries during a period divided by the total number of sportspeople at that period
Rates per 1000 hours
Injury incidence
Number of injuries x1000
____________________
number of matches x number of players x match duration
Injury incidence inclusions
All injuries should be recorded that need medical attention, including those that result in no time lost/playing
Time lost from participation must be recorded using both training and competitive participation data in days lost as well as games
Netball most common site of injury (MCSI)
Ankle
Basketball MCSI
Ankle
Golf MCSI
lower back
Elite cyclists most common fracture
clavicle
Contact sports injury rates
Increased acute
Endurance sports injury rates
Increased rate overuse
Adult professional rugby union players incidence- games
81 per 1,000 player hours
Adult professional rugby union players incidence- training
3 per 1,000 player hours
child and adolescent rugby union players incidence-
26.7 per 1000 player hours
Rugby prevalent injuries
Muscle/tendon and joint (non-bone)/ligament injuries were most prevalent
Fractures and bone stress injuries had highest average severity
Lower limb highest injury incidence, but upper limb highest severity
Netball injury rate
5.4%
Track and field injury
Mostly training (overuse) Knee most common in runners (48% of injuries), followed by lower leg, foot and hip
Swimming injuries
Most overuse injury during training
Swimmers shoulder
–> combination rotator cuff pathology and shoulder laxity
