ObjectivesTo determine sport-related concussion (SRC) incidence rates in female contact/collision sport.DesignSystematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines.Data sourcesFour databases (PubMed, SportsDiscus, Web of Science, CINAHL) were searched for data from 2012 to 2021.Eligibility criteriaStudies reporting SRC incidence rates or the number of concussions and athletic exposures (AEs) per 1000 participating events or hours in healthy female contact and collision sport athletes of any age were included.ResultsThe search yielded 8438 non-duplicate articles. Following screening, 19 were included in the analysis (median quality score=70%), with 8 reporting match or training incidence rates. Studies were primarily from US high school and collegiate populations; data are reported for eight sports. Rugby union reported the highest match SRC rates (8.2–16.11 per 1000 AE hours), followed by Gaelic football (5.21 per 1000 AE hours) and soccer (2.08–4.04 per 1000 AE events). Where available, match SRC rates were substantially higher than training and overall SRC rates.ConclusionFemale sports such as rugby union, Gaelic football and soccer present the highest risk for SRCs within the available data. Previous research indicates a potentially greater injury burden for female athletes experiencing SRCs than their male counterparts. Thus, future research should analyse concussion knowledge and return-to-play protocols in these sports. Future research should also prioritise exploration of the gap in SRC rates within amateur sports, and data should be presented specifically in the context of athletic exposures (match vs training).Trial registration numberCRD42021281569.

“…These findings are largely in alignment with previous reports, 34 although the differential prevalence of player-contact lateral ankle sprains between men's and women's sports was noteworthy and warrants further attention. These findings provide a critical update to the existing empirical evidence surrounding the most common injury reported among NCAA athletes (of note, lateral ankle sprains accounted for ~8% of all injuries reported to the NCAA ISP during the study period) 5,6,24,27 and offer avenues for further targeted evaluations and therapeutic interventions.…”

“…Lateral ligament complex tears (or lateral ankle sprains) have been reported to account for most sports-related ankle sprains. 13 Previous studies have shown ankle sprains to be a prevalent injury among athletes participating in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition, [5][6][7]24,27 and recent evidence suggests that lateral ankle sprains are common injuries across field-and court-based NCAA sports. 34 Although injury prevention efforts that include balance and proprioceptive training have been shown to be effective in mitigating the risk of ankle sprain in different settings, 2,10,35 advances in prevention efforts depend on routine and systematic epidemiological investigations aimed at capturing the burden of this injury in various athlete populations.…”

“…34 However, the most recent investigation of lateral ankle sprains among NCAA athletes spanned the 2009-10 through 2014-15 academic years. 34 Given recent evidence indicating a high prevalence of this injury in various NCAA sports, [5][6][7]24,27 it remains critical to appraise the evolving burden of this injury among NCAA athletes. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to characterize the epidemiology of lateral ligament complex tears in NCAA men's and women's sports during the 2014-15 through 2018-19 academic years.…”

Background: Epidemiological studies of lateral ankle sprains in NCAA sports are important in appraising the burden of this injury and informing prevention efforts. Purpose: To describe the epidemiology of lateral ankle sprains in NCAA sports during the 2014-15 through 2018-19 seasons. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Injury and exposure information collected within the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program (ISP) were examined. Counts, rates, and proportions of lateral ankle sprains were used to describe injury incidence by sport, event type (practices, competitions), season segment (preseason, regular season, postseason), injury mechanism (player contact, noncontact, and surface contact, injury history (new, recurrent), and time loss (time loss [≥1 day], non–time loss). Injury rate ratios (IRRs) were used to examine differential injury rates, and injury proportion ratios (IPRs) were used to examine differential distributions. Results: A total of 3910 lateral ankle sprains were reported (4.61 per 10,000 athlete exposures) during the study period, and the overall rate was highest in men’s basketball (11.82 per 10,000 athlete exposures). The competition-related injury rate was higher than the practice-related rate (IRR, 3.24; 95% CI, 3.04-3.45), and across season segments, the overall rate was highest in preseason (4.99 per 10,000 athlete exposures). Lateral ankle sprains were most often attributed to player-contact mechanisms in men’s (43.2%) and women’s sports (35.1%), although injuries were more prevalently attributed to player contact in men’s than in women’s sports (IPR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.13-1.34). Overall, 49.7% of all lateral ankle sprains were time loss injuries. Conclusions: The findings of this study are consistent with previous epidemiological investigations of lateral ankle sprains among NCAA athletes. Results offer additional context on differential injury mechanisms between men’s and women’s sports and on injury risk across the competitive season. Future research may examine the effectiveness of deploying injury prevention programs before the start of a season.

Injury-Inciting Activities in Male and Female Football Players: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Background A comprehensive examination of the sport-specific activities performed around the time of injury is important to hypothesise injury mechanisms, develop prevention strategies, improve management, and inform future investigations. The aim of this systematic review is to summarise the current literature describing the activities performed around the time of injury in football (soccer). Methods A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, and OpenGrey. Studies were included if participants were football players aged > 13 years old and the activities performed at the time of injury were reported together with the total number of injuries. Risk of bias was assessed using an adapted version of checklists developed for prevalence studies. The activities reported by the studies were grouped to account for inconsistent reporting, and the proportion of each injury activity was calculated. Data were not meta-analysed due to high heterogeneity of methods and classification criteria. Results We included 64 studies reporting on 56,740 injuries in total. ACL injures were analysed by 12 studies, ankle/foot and knee injuries were analysed by five studies, thigh injuries were analysed by four studies, hip/groin injuries were analysed by three studies, and hamstring injuries were analysed by two studies. Five studies analysed more than one type of injury and 38 studies did not specify the type of injuries analysed. Running and kicking were the predominant activities leading to thigh and hamstring injuries. Changing direction and kicking were the predominant activities leading to hip and groin injuries and duels were the predominant activities leading to ankle injuries. Duels and pressing seem the predominant activities leading to ACL injuries, while results for other knee and general injuries were inconsistent. Conclusions A qualitative summary of the activities performed at the time of injury has been reported. The results need to be interpreted carefully due to the risk of bias observed in the included studies. If we are to meaningfully progress our knowledge in this area, it is paramount that future research uses consistent methods to record and classify injuries and activities leading up to and performed at the time of injury. Registration The protocol of this systematic review was registered at the Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/U96KV).
