“…In team handball data and recent research state that previous injuries increase the risk for recurring injuries, in particular with regard to injuries of the lower extremities , Myklebust et al, 2013, Moller et al 2012. The findings of the present study however ( Table 2), showed that only 13.2% of male athletes and 13.6% of female athletes had a recurrence to an older injury.…”

Beach handball is a growing sport without available scientific data on the type of injuries that occur. The aim of this study is to record the incidence rate, type and severity of injuries in this sport. During the finals of the European Beach Tour 2014, 122 beach handball players completed a self -report questionnaire about the injuries they had sustained during the previous 24 months. The injury incidence rate for male and female was 12/1000h and 11.36/1000h respectively during games, and 1.8/1000h and 4/1000h during training accordingly. Muscle strains were the most common type of injury, while the majority of injuries affected the knee. The return to sports period was within 2 weeks from injury for 62% of male and 64.5% of female athletes. Statistical analysis could not correlate the incidence or severity of injuries in beach handball to any of the analyzed variables. This study showed that injuries in beach handball are similar to team handball, rather than to other "sand" sports.

“…The knee, ankle and thigh were the sites with more frequency of injuries in the athletes included in the present study. Similar results were also found in other studies [11][12][13]19 . This may be associated with greater demand and exposure of these joints in contact sports.…”

“…However, the number of injury in handball was high in lower limb, following upper limb and trunk. Other studies have also shown the same results in this modality 12,19 . The knee, ankle and thigh were the sites with more frequency of injuries in the athletes included in the present study.…”

et al. 2012

The purpose of this study was to perform a survey about the prevalence, type and location of the injuries occurred in athletes of different modalities during the 53th Regional Games held in 2009. A total of 182 injured athletes being treated at the physical therapy clinic were included. Physical Therapy evaluation was performed to determine the anatomic location and type of injury, as well the sport modality. The results showed that mean age, height, weight and BMI were 23 years (±5.9), 1.73 m (±0.11), 71 kg (±14.22) and 24 kg/m² (±4) respectively. Proportionality to the number of athletes, handball athletes presented with higher number of injuries (4.25%), followed by indoor soccer players (3.7%), basketball (2.48%), volleyball (1.72%) and soccer (1.63%). The most common type of injury were sprains with 29.7% of cases (n=54) and mostly from soccer players; followed by contracture - 26.9% (n=49), mostly from basketball players; and contusion -25.8% (n=47), mostly from handball and indoor soccer players. The type of injury showed a significant association with the sports modality (p=0.0016). The lower limbs accounted for 71.4% of all injuries including knee (23.1%), ankle (18.1%), thigh (17.0%), leg (10.4%) and spine (9.9%). Preventive actions to avoid athletes' injury should be implemented in order to reduce the number of injuries in sports competitions such as in the Regional Games.

“…However, comparisons of the results are limited since age is a risk factor of injuries [11,18]. Among other athletes, prevalence of overuse injuries of 31% in handball and 23% in track and field athletes have been reported [19,20]. The participants in these studies were all elite athletes aged 15 years or older, hence a higher prevalence of overuse injuries is expected.…”

Injury risk in Danish youth and senior elite handball using a new SMS text messages approach

Abstract: The incidence of time-loss injuries in elite handball was higher during match play than previously reported in recreational handball. Previous injuries were a risk factor for new injuries among u-16 players. Male players had a significant higher injury rate in the u-18 group.
