“…Consequently, despite global physical activity recommendations and the existence of models of talent identification and development, the numbers of youth displaying substandard levels of physical fitness, muscular strength, and motor skill competency is increasing globally (12,37,43,45,49,52,56). A contemporary corollary of reduced levels of physical fitness in modern day youth is an increase in the number of youth experiencing sports-and physical activity-related injuries (1,7,9), overtraining and nonfunctional overreaching ( 3 3), burnout (17), and eventual dropout from their chosen sport(s), which remains a concern for practitioners.…”

“…participation alone may not provide an adequate amount of MVPA (10). Free-time physical activity, defined as activity outside of organised sports and structured exercise regiments -not including a practice or workout guided by a coach -serves as a valuable tool to aid youth athlete maturation and eventual participation in regular physical activity (9). Those engaged in free-time physical activity may have lower levels of injury and time-loss injuries when compared to those engaged solely in organised sports (8,11).…”

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine whether high levels of strenuous physical activity outside of organised sports are associated with better functional test performance.Methods: Youth athletes (n = 445, mean = 14.2 AE 2.5 years) reported their frequency of strenuous physical activity outside of organised sports. The functional performance tests: vertical jump height, pro agility test time, estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max), front plank time and postural stability were measured and compared between groups.Results: Athletes in the five or more times a week group demonstrated faster pro agility times (5.37 AE 0.43 seconds) than the never group (5.59 AE 0.56 seconds; p = 0.002) and the 1-4 times a week group (5.52 AE 0.47 seconds; p = 0.005). The five or more times a week group demonstrated higher mean vertical jump height (42.9 AE 13.3 vs. 40.3 AE 10.8 cm; p = 0.009) and higher estimated VO 2 max (48.1 vs. 45.6 mL/kg/minute; p = 0.001) than the 1-4 times a week group. Conclusion:Youth athletes who engaged in strenuous physical activity outside of organised sports five or more times a week performed best on functional performance tests.

“…Coincidentally, recent news about severe injuries suffered by Japanese youth while practicing judo have surfaced (Uchida, 2011). However, the concern for safety cuts across various sports, leisure activities and even dance, because it is widely recognized that there is an inherent risk in any physical activity (Bloemers et al, 2012;Malkogeorgos, Mavrovouniotis, Zaggelidis, & Ciucurel, 2011). Therefore, injuries are not unique to judo.…”

Abstract:Problem Statement: To date, most epidemiological studies on martial arts or combat sports have involved injuries incurred at the advanced or elite level. Thus far, there have been no studies on judo injuries sustained by students while participating in physical education classes. Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the profile of injuries among physical education judo students and identify whether age and sex correlate with injuries. Approach: Male (n = 273) and female (n = 327) college students, with a mean age of 18.49 years (±1.82) and who took judo as a PE class, were surveyed retrospectively. The injury rates are expressed per 1000 athlete-exposures. Results: There were a total of 180 injuries, at a rate of 9.4 per 1000 athlete-exposures (95% CI: 8.00 -10.70), which were reported by PE judo students from 2011 to 2016. There was no significant difference between males and females in terms of the injury rates (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 0.78 -1.60; p = 0.545). Age was found to have a significant effect on all injuries (OR = 0.91; 0.82 -1.00; p = 0.045), to the ankles (OR = 0.79; 0.65 -0.96; p = 0.017) and fingers (OR = 0.77; 0.61 -0.97; p = 0.027). A similar pattern was found for strains (p = 0.008) and stress fractures (p = 0.021). Being thrown (31.1%) and impacts on the surface (26.1%) were the most common injury mechanisms. Conclusion: Compared with the injuries incurred at the advanced or elite level, the injuries sustained in PE classes were more varied in terms of the involved body parts and injury types.

Physical inactivity is a risk factor for physical activity-related injuries in children

Abstract: The children at highest injury risk are the target audience of the contemporary PA promotion efforts. PA promotion should also focus on injury prevention.
