“…Factors such as longer games, less time of ball possession, and the dominance of man to man marking may be responsible for game injury rates in the NBA being twice as high as practice injury rates, compared to the Spanish Professional Basketball League in which the game injury rate is about one third of the practice injury rate. 11 …”

“…Similar to the NCAA, our study found the lower limbs to be the most prevalent location for injury, accounting for 68% of injuries in games and 58.4% of injuries in practice (versus 54% in both practice and games in the NCAA). 10 The lower limbs have also been found to be the most affected body part in various sports, such as rugby, 13 , 14 football, 15 soccer, 16 , 17 basketball 11 and volleyball, 18 as well as in overuse injuries. 19 This study found ankle ligament sprains and knee injuries to be most prominent, accounting for 18% and 11% of injuries, respectively.…”

Objective: To obtain information on the incidence and nature of sports injuries at a Brazilian university.Method: Data from 396 student amateur athletes (61% male) playing 15 different sports during the 2013 season were retrospectively evaluated. Subjects completed the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System questionnaire at the conclusion of the 2013 sports season. Injuries that resulted in at least one day of time lost were included. Exposure was defined as one student amateur athlete participating in one practice or game and is expressed as an athlete-exposure (A-E).Results: Injury rates were significantly greater in games (13.13 injuries per 1000 A-Es, 95% CI = 10.3-15) than in practices (4.47 injuries per 1000 A-Es, 95% CI = 3.9-5.1). The mechanisms that accounted for the most injuries in games and practices were player contact (52.9%) and non-contact (54.5%), respectively. Ankle ligament sprains were the most common injury (18.2% of all reported injuries). A relatively high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injury was also observed (0.16 injuries per 1000 A-Es).Conclusion: Brazilian student amateur athletes are at great risk of sustaining non-contact injuries such as ankle sprains and anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Level III of Evidence, Study of non consecutive patients; without consistently applied reference ''gold'' standard.

“…The investigations on injuries in sports find many difficulties due to aspects such as registering criteria of the lesion concept, the description of its incidence, the inclusion and description of injuries in study protocols as well as the diversity of the groups of athletes in each modality (12) . Furthermore, the perception of the own athlete on his lesion, what indeed could help in future prevention processes, seems not to be considered as important.…”
Os processos de quantificação e associação das lesões do esporte aos seus possíveis fatores causais são importantes para melhor entendimento sobre assunto. Assim constituiu-se como objetivo do presente estudo a observação das lesões desportivas (LD) em atletas da elite brasileira do atletismo, associando-as aos seus mecanismos de instalação e características da modalidade. Foram entrevistados 86 atletas (47 homens e 39 mulheres) convocados para representar o Brasil durante o ano de 2003. Utilizou-se um inquérito de morbidade referida, validado anteriormente, para obtenção dos dados referentes aos atletas e suas lesões. Para a análise dos resultados adotou-se o teste de Goodman para contrastes entre e dentro de proporções binomiais, sendo todas as conclusões discutidas para 5% de significância estatística. Os resultados mostraram que há maior taxa de lesão por atleta (l/a), nas provas combinadas (3,5 l/a), seguidas por eventos de velocidade (2,6 l/a), resistência (1,9 l/a) e saltos (1,9 l/a) respectivamente. O principal mecanismo causal é a alta intensidade acometendo preferencialmente velocistas e fundistas. Outra forte associação foi observada entre lesões musculares e provas de velocidade, que também apresentam preferência para ocorrência de lesão na região da coxa. As atividades com elevada intensidade foram o principal responsável por lesões musculares, enquanto as osteoarticulares e tendinopatias ocorrem com excesso de repetições. Concluiu-se, a partir dos achados, que existem associações entre lesões e fatores causais, como entre provas e lesões, mecanismos de lesão e local anatômico.
