Track and field athletics injuries--a one-year survey.

Lesões desportivas no atletismo: comparação entre informações obtidas em prontuários e inquéritos de morbidade referida

“…Among the SI most observed, the tendinopathy and the muscular distension stand out, which are also observed as the most frequent in studies of Shiffer 16 and D'Souza 17 , involving track and field. Those lesions showed to be marking for the athletes who participate on this research.…”

Injuries in 13 international Athletics championships between 2007–2012

“…Jacobsson et al 8 registered 482 injuries in 292 athletes during 52 weeks, equivalent to 1.7 injuries per athlete. In contrast, on average 1 of 10 athletes suffered an injury during elite international Athletics championships 1 3 5 6 12 13. In 2007 the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), began to systematically document and analyse all newly incurred injuries of athletes during its championships,2 3 5 followed by European Athletics Association (EAA) in 2009 9.…”

Running-related hamstring injuries: a neuromuscular approach

“…7,8 These include soccer, 9 rugby and Australian Rules football, 10 cricket 11 and track and field. 12 A more recent approach to management of hamstring injuries has highlighted the putative role of trunk stability in potentially reducing recurrence of this injury. 13 Although measures of trunk stabilisation or neuromuscular control were not assessed, the authors concluded that enhanced neuromuscular control of the lumbar spine and pelvis may reduce the incidence of recurrence.…”
