“…Males had a higher incidence rate for injuries than females during one outdoor tennis season in Denmark (Winge et al, 1989). Recently, an epidemiological study found that female players were more commonly injured than male players (Gescheit et al, 2017).…”

The objective was to systematically review the literature on risk factors and prevention programs for musculoskeletal injuries among tennis players. PubmedMedline, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, SportDiscus were searched up to February 2017. Experts in clinical and epidemiological medicine were contacted to obtain additional studies. For risk factors, prospective cohort studies (n > 20) with a statistical analysis for injured and non-injured players were included and studies with a RCT design for prevention programs. Downs&Black checklist was assessed for risk of bias for risk factors. From a total of 4067 articles, five articles met our inclusion criteria for risk factors. No studies on effectiveness of prevention programs were identified. Quality of studies included varied from fair to excellent. Best evidence synthesis revealed moderate evidence for previous injury regardless of body location in general and fewer years of tennis experience for the occurrence of upper extremity injuries. Moderate evidence was found for lower back injuries, a previous back injury, playing >6hours/week and low lateral flexion of the neck for risk factors. Limited evidence was found for male gender as a risk factor. The risk factors identified can assist clinicians in developing prevention-strategies. Further studies should focus on risk factor evaluation in recreational adult tennis players.

“…Lógicamente las acciones técnicas y tácticas en pádel (mayor juego en red y búsqueda de golpeos cortados que impidan golpear al contrario en posiciones cómodas) hacen que el tronco sea una región corporal con mayor implicación que en el tenis. En el caso del género femenino, los resultados coinciden con los de otros estudios, siendo las lesiones del miembro superior las más frecuentes, posiblemente debido a diferencias técnicas y tácticas respecto a los hombres 21,22 .…”

“…Por otro lado, los jugadores de menor nivel presentan una peor ejecución técnica en los golpeos 20 , que podría influir también en la aparición de lesiones en este tipo de jugadores. Las lesiones de hombro y codo son las más comunes en deportes donde se realizan golpeos por encima de la cabeza 21 , como es el caso del pádel, y es en los menores niveles de juego donde más golpeos se producen por encima del hombro debido a la utilización del globo como medio defensivo 19 .…”

Resumen Objetivo: Analizar la relación existente según el género, la edad y el nivel de los jugadores de pádel con la cantidad de lesiones descritas por ellos mismos. Método: Participaron 148 jugadores (75 hombres, 73 mujeres, 33.95 ± 9.87 años). Se registraron un total de 151 lesiones clasificadas en función del tipo de lesión, localización anatómica y situación (entrenamiento o competición). Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo utilizando una adaptación de un cuestionario de lesiones deportivas autocompletado por los jugadores. Se utilizó la prueba de Chi-Cuadrado, los Residuos y la V de Cramer para conocer el grado de asociación entre las variables. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron: i) predominio de lesiones musculares en los miembros inferiores; ii) alto número de lesiones en el tronco en hombres y de los miembros superiores en mujeres (p = 0.046); iii) mayor índice de lesiones musculares en mayores de 35 años y tendinosas en menores de 35 años (p = 0.009); iv) mayor número de lesiones en jugadores de menor nivel, especialmente en tendones y hombro (p = 0.031). Conclusiones: Las lesiones más frecuentes en pádel son las musculares, localizadas en los miembros inferiores. El género masculino presenta más lesiones en el tronco mientras que el número de lesiones en mujeres se centra en el miembro superior. Los jugadores mayores de 35 años presentaron más lesiones musculares mientras que se registró un mayor número de lesiones tendinosas en menores de 35 años. Finalmente, el nivel de los jugadores está relacionado inversamente con el número de lesiones (a mayor nivel, menor número de lesiones). Abstract Objective: To analyze the relationship according to gender, age and level of padel players with the number of self-reported injury history. Method: A total of 148 players (75 men, 73 women, 33.95 ± 9.87 years old) take part in this study, from whom 151 injuries were registered and classified regarding the type, location and injury situation (training or competition). A retrospective, descriptive study was set out, using an adapted version of a self-reported sports injury questionnaire. Chi-Squared, Residuals and Cramer’s V were calculated to study the strength of association between variables. Results: Findings revealed: i) overall predominance of muscle injuries in the lower limbs; ii) greater number of trunk injuries in men and upper limbs in women (p = 0.046); iii) higher rate of muscular lesions in players older than 35 years and tendinosis in younger than 35 years (p = 0.009); iv) higher rate of injuries in lower level players, especially in tendons and shoulder (p = 0.031). Conclusions: Muscular accounted for the majority of injuries in padel, particularly on the lower limbs. Males reported more trunk injuries, whilst females suffered more on the upper limbs. Players older than 35 years informed more muscular injuries; by contrast, tendinous injuries prevailed in younger than 35 years. Finally, the level of players revealed an inverse relationship in the number of injuries (the higher the level, the lower the injury rate).

“…However, given the streams of data now available, it seems timely to revisit whether this recommended choice of exposure remains as pertinent as it once was? Gescheit et al [3] recently highlighted how the choice of exposure can influence study conclusions. For example, when comparing female muscle injury rates using game exposures (strongly correlated to match duration) versus set exposures at the Australian Open between 2011-16, they found 14% variation in the number of reported injuries over time.…”

“…We analysed a subset of Gescheit et al [3] Table 1 here *** Match duration was only moderately related to hitting volume (r 2 = 0.37) and match distance (r 2 = 0.30), with only 37% and 30% of the respective variance explained. This questions the use of match duration as the gold standard measure of injury exposure at the professional level.…”
