“…Field hockey, a sport played only by women, also involves the use of a stick but does not require the use of gloves; yet, it incurs an injury rate roughly 3 times greater than women’s lacrosse. In 2018, injury patterns in collegiate women’s field hockey were described by Lynall et al 23 using the NCAA ISP database. Hand and wrist injuries were the second most common injuries sustained during competition, accounting for 15.4% of injuries over a 6-year span.…”

“…Furthermore, roughly half of all the injuries sustained were caused by ball or stick contact. 23 Prior literature on hand injuries in stick-handling sports at the college level has revealed a 2-fold increased risk for hand injuries in field hockey versus sports mandating glove use. 6 These findings, in conjunction with the findings described in the current study, could provide further support to the notion that protective gloves should be considered mandatory in collegiate field hockey athletes to possibly decrease the risk of hand and wrist injuries.…”

Background: There is a high incidence of hand and wrist injuries in athletes participating in collegiate sports, but there is little information published characterizing them. Purpose: To characterize hand and wrist injuries in collegiate athletes using a large national database. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional analysis was designed using data from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Injury Surveillance Program database to identify hand and wrist injuries (exclusive of any radial or ulnar fractures) in male and female collegiate athletes participating in NCAA Division I, II, and III sports from 2004 to 2015. Descriptive analyses were performed on stratified data to examine the associations between these injuries and sport, event type, and sex. Results: Men’s ice hockey (8.25 per 10,000 athlete-exposures [AEs]) and women's ice hockey (8.21 per 10,000 AEs) had the highest rate of hand and wrist injuries in all exposures. In every sport except women’s gymnastics ( P = .107), injuries were more commonly sustained during competition rather than during practice. Ligamentous injury to the phalynx was the most commonly sustained injury overall (1.416 per 10,000 AEs), and a metacarpal fracture was the most commonly sustained hand or wrist fracture (0.507 per 10,000 AEs). Injuries sustained during men’s wrestling (14.08 days) and women’s gymnastics (10.39 days) incurred the most time lost from sport. Surgery for hand and wrist injuries was most commonly required for men’s football (0.413 per 10,000 AEs) and women’s field hockey (0.404 per 10,000 AEs). Conclusion: Hand and wrist injuries were common among collegiate athletes. Male athletes experienced injuries with more frequency and severity. Injuries occurred more commonly during competition. While the majority of injuries were minor and did not require surgery, certain sports conferred a much higher risk of significant injuries requiring a surgical intervention.

“…The injury incidence rate in ultimate is similar to other team sports involving high-intensity running. For instance, the injury incidence rate during competition in lacrosse has been reported at 13 per 1000 athlete-exposures for male youth and adult athletes [ 34 , 35 ] and 7 per 1000 athlete-exposures for female adult athletes [ 35 , 36 ], while the injury incidence rate in field hockey has been reported to be 7 per 1000 athlete-exposures in female youth and adult athletes [ 36 , 37 ]. Despite being a non-contact sport with an emphasis on fair play, the substantial injury problem in ultimate highlighted in this review suggests there is an urgent need to develop and implement injury prevention initiatives in the sport, including better enforcement of the rules of the game to avoid contact and collision among athletes.…”

Ultimate is a high-intensity, non-contact team sport played with a flying disc (e.g., frisbee). Despite the growing popularity of ultimate worldwide, there is limited information about the epidemiology of injury in the sport. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview and synthesis of the literature on the epidemiology of injury in ultimate. A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted in five electronic databases (i.e., MEDLINE, Embase, AMED, SPORTDiscus, and AusportMed). All databases were searched from inception to 1 July 2020. A total of eleven studies were included and qualitatively synthesized. Injury incidence rate estimates ranged from 0.4 to 84.9 injuries per 1000 athlete-exposures. The lifetime prevalence of any injury and concussion were 100% and 26%, respectively. The most commonly injured body region was the lower limb, with the knee and thigh being the most frequently injured anatomical locations. The most frequent injury types were muscle injuries and superficial contusions. The most common injury situation was direct contact with another player. There is a substantial risk of injury in ultimate, in particular muscle strains and joint sprains to the knee and shoulder areas. Development and implementation of effective, sport-specific injury prevention initiatives, including improved injury risk management and sport safety culture, should be a priority to reduce the burden of injury in ultimate.

“…Reviews of injury surveillance data within the National Collegiate Athletic Association consistently demonstrate LEI to account for more than 50% of total injuries. [1][2][3][4][5] The trend of high rates of LEI is also seen in other sporting cohorts. LEI accounted for 57% of injuries reported in the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Elite Club Injury study 6 with thigh (34%), knee (12%) and hip/groin (11%) among the most common during 2018/2019 men's season.…”

Practicability of lower extremity functional performance tests and their measurement properties in elite athletes: protocol for a systematic review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionLower extremity injury (LEI) is highly prevalent and its occurrence increases the risk of future injury in athletic populations. Identifying athletes at risk of injury is the key to target injury-prevention programmes. Functional performance tests (FPT) assess an athlete’s ability to produce and accept forces during movement tasks reflective of those experienced in sport, and are used to identify deficits in physical qualities or neuromuscular control. This review aims to identify FPT which have potential to predict LEI and assess their measurement properties associated with reliability, validity, responsiveness and practicability (interpretability and feasibility).Methods/analysisThis protocol will be reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol and the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments Methodology. The search strategy has two stages: stage 1 will identify lower limb FPT used in athletic populations; and stage 2 will assess the measurement properties of the identified FPT. A sensitive search strategy will use MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINHAL and SPORTdiscus databases; from inception to June 2020. Hand searching reference lists, key journals and grey literature will be completed. One reviewer will complete search 1 and data extraction. Two reviewers will complete the search, data extraction and risk-of-bias assessment for search 2. Evidence will be pooled or summarised by individual measurement property by each individual study and grouped by FPT. Meta-analysis using a random effects model with subgroup analysis will be performed where possible. Pooled or summarised results for each FPT in relation to each measurement property will be rated against the criteria for good measurement properties. Two reviewers will assess the overall body of evidence per measurement property per FPT using the modified Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation guidelines. This review will enable clinicians to make an informed choice when selecting FPT.Ethics and disseminationNo ethical approval is required for this review and the results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and submitted for conference presentation.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020188932.
