“…The German Questionnaire thereby confirmed the results of the Swedish 25 and the Danish translations. 24 The translated OSTRC Questionnaire therefore offers the opportunity for a continued surveillance of high-level German athletes in order to monitor and promptly treat medical conditions.…”

“…According to the repeated suggestion made by different athletes of having recorded the training volume, we added a question about weekly training volume to the questionnaire. Such an addition was also reported during the adaptation process of the Swedish translation published by Ekman et al 25 The Swedish group finally used two open background questions on the time of exposure during training as well as on exposure during competition. In the German version, we only added one question about the sum training volume per week (hours/miles per week).…”

BackgroundThe importance of a standardised injury and illness surveillance system in elite sports has recently often been highlighted. The OSTRC Questionnaire on Health Problems was developed and validated at the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre in Norway and showed very good validity.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Questionnaire on Health Problems into the German context.DesignA slightly modified back-translation method was used to translate the questionnaire. Validation was done in 24 high-level Paralympic athletes followed over 20 consecutive weeks.SettingWeb-based weekly distribution of the translated OSTRC questionnaire for 20 weeks.Patients (or Participants)24 athletes of the German National Cycling Team.Interventions (or Assessment of Risk Factors)None.Main Outcome Measurementsinternal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha) test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient), weekly response rate, lost training-days, Incidence of illness or injury.ResultsThe translated version of the questionnaire showed a very high internal consistency and good test-retest reliability (Cronbach's Alpha 0.92, ICC 0.91). Additionally, we observed high acceptance and compliance from our cohort of athletes, whose mean weekly response rate was 91.5%. Overall, 114 training-days were lost because of illness or injury within the 20 weeks. On average, five athletes per week (20.8%) reported health problems.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that the translated German version of the OSTRC Questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool with high internal consistency for the medical monitoring of German athletes. The OSTRC-G now offers the opportunity for a continued surveillance of high-level German athletes.

“…This questionnaire, the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre (OSTRC) Overuse Injury Questionnaire, was recently validated 10 and translated into Swedish. 11 Given that the focus in previous reports on orienteering has been on acute injuries, we hypothesized that by using the OSTRC Overuse Injury Questionnaire, a more valid description of injury data for orienteerers could be presented. Therefore, the primary purpose of our study was to determine the prevalence of injuries in adolescent elite orienteerers by registering acute and overuse injuries over 26 weeks.…”

Context: In orienteering, the number of injury-registration studies is limited. Most researchers have used a cross-sectional design during specific events and, therefore, have mainly identified acute injuries.Objective: To determine the prevalence of injuries by registering acute and overuse injuries in adolescent elite orienteerers over 26 weeks and to study the variation of injury prevalence over the season and the potential risk factors.Design: Cohort study. Setting: Two high schools in Sweden with national orienteering teams.Patients or Other Participants: All athletes (33 adolescent girls, 31 adolescent boys; age ¼ 17 6 1 years) from 2 high schools with orienteering teams.Main Outcome Measure(s): We used a weekly Web-based questionnaire to identify the incidence and prevalence of injuries and training variables. Risk factors for injury were calculated using multiple linear regression techniques.Results: The average weekly prevalence of overuse and acute injuries was 35.7% (95% confidence interval ¼ 34.8%, 36.6%) and 1.7% (95% confidence interval ¼ 1.3%, 2.1%), respectively; overuse injuries (78.0%, n ¼ 85) accounted for the majority. The incidence of acute and overuse injuries was highest for the foot/lower leg (48.6%, n ¼ 53), and 71.6% (n ¼ 78) of all injuries affected the foot/lower leg and knee area. Time to the first reported injury was associated with training volume (b ¼ 0.184, P ¼ .001), competition time (b ¼ À0.701, P ¼ .009), running on asphalt roads (b ¼À0.348, P ¼ .008), and running on forest surfaces and trails (b ¼À0.331, P ¼ .007), with a model fit of r 2 ¼ 0.50 (intercept ¼ 2.196, P , .001). During the study, we observed a weekly increase (0.3%) in the prevalence of overuse injuries in the foot/lower leg (r 2 ¼ 0.33, P ¼ .001); the highest prevalence (26.9%) was at the beginning of the competitive season.Conclusions: Overuse injuries, predominately in the foot/ lower leg area, were more common than acute injuries in adolescent elite orienteerers. These injuries had the highest prevalence at the beginning of the competitive season; therefore, this period can be seen as a possible risk factor for sustaining overuse injuries in the foot/lower leg.Key Words: athletes, runners, severity score, training load Key PointsOveruse injuries were more common than acute injuries in adolescent elite orienteerers. Overuse injuries most often affected the foot/lower leg area, with the highest prevalence occurring at the beginning of the competitive season. Training volume, competition time, running on asphalt roads, and running on forest surfaces and trails were associated with time to the first reported injury. Researchers should focus on establishing injury mechanisms affecting the foot, lower leg, and knee in adolescent elite orienteerers.
