“…Many factors can explain these differences. Although nutrition, training level, hydration and weight cycling are considered important injury risk factors in combat sports (Boisseau, 2006;Agel, Ransone, Dick et al, 2007;Kordi, Maffulli, Wroble et al, 2009), specific research on martial arts is still very scarce (Kordi, Maffulli, Wroble et al, 2009). In example, a higher frequency of injuries and impairment of muscular function have been found in weight cycling judoists and among those undergoing rapid weight reductions before a competition compared with control groups of judo athletes (Poutreau, Ducher, Serbescu et al, 2007).…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiology and distribution of combat sports injuries during African Games 2015. A retrospective study was conducted from November 2016 to February 2017, including all adult patients aged consulted by doctor during combat or admitted to emergency medical sport unit of complex sporting of these Games. The data collected were sex, time and day of consulting or admission, injury risk, types, location and causes of injuries. During these African Games, an average injury frequency of about 78.6% has been observed. Contusions (n = 104), sprains and luxations (n = 43), fractures (n = 40) and wounds (n = 12) were the main injuries observed among 187 athletes. The lower extremities were more frequently affected than the upper extremities (150 cases versus 78 cases). In conclusion, the present study provides the latest knowledge on the frequency and characteristics injuries in combat sports. Injuries are different according to sport in their mechanisms and injury distribution. During African competition and training session, the evaluation and prevention of these factors could decrease the occurrence of such injuries.

Injuries in judo: a systematic literature review including suggestions for prevention

et al. 2013

BackgroundThere is limited knowledge on epidemiological injury data in judo.ObjectiveTo systematically review scientific literature on the frequency and characteristics of injuries in judo.MethodsThe available literature up to June 2013 was searched for prospective as well as retrospective studies on injuries in judo. Data extraction and presentation focused on the incidence rate, injury risk, types, location and causes of injuries.ResultsDuring the Olympic Games in 2008 and 2012, an average injury risk of about 11–12% has been observed. Sprains, strains and contusions, usually of the knee, shoulder and fingers, were the most frequently reported injuries, whereas being thrown was the most common injury mechanism. Severe injuries were quite rare and usually affected the brain and spine, whereas chronic injuries typically affected the finger joints, lower back and ears. The most common types of injuries in young judo athletes were contusions/abrasions, fractures and sprains/strains. Sex-differences data on judo injuries were mostly inconsistent. Some studies suggested a relationship between nutrition, hydration and/or weight cycling and judo injuries. Also, psychological factors may increase the risk of judo injuries.ConclusionsThe present review provides the latest knowledge on the frequency and characteristics of injuries in judo. Comprehensive knowledge about the risk of injury during sport activity and related risk factors represents an essential basis to develop effective strategies for injury prevention. Thus, the introduction of an ongoing injury surveillance system in judo is of utmost importance.

“…Not all athletes have a body that fits, or have a subjective feeling that their body fits, into the sport specific “ideal”—and those athletes often experience pressure to achieve this “idealistic” body type 3 4. This is especially at issue for pubertal female athletes who may gain a significant amount of fat 2 5. The prevalence of dieting is 15% and 33% among adolescent boy and girl high school athletes respectively, and 17% and 44% among non-athlete boys and girls 6.…”

Word count: 3295. Abstract max 266 1 ABSTRACT Objective: To examine prevalence of dieting, reasons for dieting and prevalence of disordered eating among adolescent elite athletes and age-matched controls, and to examine differences between athletes competing in leanness and non-leanness sports. Methods: First year students of 16 different Norwegian Elite Sport High Schools (athlete group, n = 682) and two randomly selected ordinary high schools from a county representative of the general Norwegian population (control group, n = 423) were invited to participate in this cross sectional study. A total of 606 athletes and 355 controls completed the questionnaire, giving a response rate of 89% and 84%, respectively. The questionnaire contained questions regarding training patterns, menstrual status and history, dieting, use of pathogenic weight control methods and the drive for thinness (DT) and body dissatisfaction (BD) subscales from the Eating Disorders Inventory. Main outcome measure: Disordered eating, defined as meeting one or more of the following criteria: DT score ≥15 (girls) and ≥10 (boys), BD score ≥14 (girls) and ≥10 (boys), BMI <17,9 kg/m 2 (girls) and <17,5 kg/m 2 (boys), current and/or ≥3 previous efforts to lose weight, use of pathogenic weight control methods, and self-reported menstrual dysfunction. Results: A higher prevalence of control subjects were dieting and classified with disordered eating compared to the athletes. An improvement of appearance was a more common reason for dieting among controls compared with athletes. No differences in dieting or disordered eating were found between leanness and non-leanness sports athletes. Conclusions: Self-reported disordered eating is more prevalent among controls than adolescent elite athletes and loosing weight to enhance performance is an important reason for dieting among adolescent elite athletes.2
