“…Unlike PA, body-related factors were not associated with medically attended injuries among adolescents. This aligns with the findings of Warsh et al ( 13 ) and Ezzat et al ( 14 ) showing no significant association of body composition with injury prevalence among adolescents. An explanation may regard the level of engagement in PA among adolescents; e.g., overweight or obese adolescents who lack the skill and confidence or have an insufficient CVF may not be able to cope with some sports situations.…”

“…Richmond et al ( 12 ) found that the risk of sports injury in obese adolescents was higher than in adolescents with normal weight. Conversely, Warsh et al ( 13 ) and Ezzat et al ( 14 ) did not find evidence of a modifying effect of body composition on injury risk among adolescents. Furthermore, Carter and Micheli ( 15 ) and Watson et al ( 16 ) noted that well-developed CVF might protect youth from future injury.…”

BackgroundInjuries are the major cause of disability and death during adolescence, representing a significant public health burden among youth. Body-related factors such as body composition and cardiovascular fitness (CVF) may affect adolescents’ vulnerability to injuries. As evidence is lacking, we aimed to explore the associations of medically attended injuries with adolescents’ physical activity (PA) and body-related factors, and whether these associations are modified by age, gender and family affluence.MethodsWe used data on 888 11- to 15-year-old adolescents (mean age = 13.5, 56% boys) from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study conducted in 2018 in Slovakia. We used binary logistic regression analysis to assess the association of medically attended injuries with adolescents’ PA and body-related factors (body composition, CVF), considering age, gender and family affluence.ResultsAdolescents were more likely to report medically attended injuries if they were physically very active (odds ratio/confidence interval OR/CI:2.76/1.83–4.15) or active (OR/CI:1.91/1.27–2.87) rather than inactive. Body-related factors were not associated with medically attended injuries among adolescents. Moreover, age, gender and family affluence did not modify the association of medically attended injuries with adolescents’ PA and body-related factors. The only exception was the modifying effect of gender: the association of medically attended injuries with being very active was stronger in boys (OR/CI: 3.04/1.32–6.99).ConclusionVery physically active adolescent boys are the most vulnerable group of adolescents in terms of injuries. PA promotion programmes should further consider gender-specific strategies aimed at preventing injuries.

“…Compared to research conducted in the university elite athletes, while the gender variable and Hootman et al's study data were similar and it was different from the results of the epidemiological research conducted by Yang et al 2,3 It has been reported that body composition is one of the main factors affecting performance and it is among the risk factors that can cause injury. 32 In our study, it was observed that body composition results were similar to the studies in the literature and athletes were in the ideal range in terms of body composition variables in the anthropometry title. In line with this, another reason why performances of athletes were not affected by the history of injury and fear of movement may be that they had an ideal body composition.…”

ABS TRACT Objective:Considering the psychosocial factors of performance, the injury history will affect the physical performance parameters. Kinesiophobia is one of these factors. Although injuries are effective with motivation factors in athletes, the focus of research is on physical factors. Accordingly the main objective of the study was to investigate the presence of kinesiophobia in elite athletes with and without a history of lower limb injury. The secondary aim was to determine the relationship between physical performance and, kinesiophobia in elite athletes. Material and Methods: The presence of a history of lower extremity injury was questioned in athletes and the time was recorded. The fear of movement was evaluated using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-17). Performance evaluations of athletes were carried out under the titles of flexibility, balance, anaerobic and aerobic tests. Obtained data were analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. Results: Kinesiophobia level was different between athletes with and without a history of lower limb injuries (95%CI: 35.06 [33.41 to 36.71], p: 0.016). The athletes with lower limb injury history have higher kinesiophobia than athletes without lower limb injury history (p<0.05). There was a correlation between the kinesiophobia and, the history of lower limb injury of the athletes (r:0.350, p:0.015). No correlation was found in any subtitle of the physical performance tests and the history of lower limb injury (p>0.05). Conclusion: According to our study results the athletes with lower limb injury history have higher kinesiophobia than athletes without lower limb injury history. Kinesiophobia was related with lower limb injury history and not related with physical performance.ÖZET Amaç: Performansın psikososyal faktörleri göz önüne alındığında, yaralanma geçmişinin fiziksel performans parametrelerini etkilemesi muhtemeldir. Kinezyofobi de bu faktörlerden birisidir. Yaralanmalar atletlerde motivasyon faktörü ile etkili olsa da, araştırmaların odak noktası fiziksel etmenlerdir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın birincil amacı, alt ekstremite yaralanması öyküsü olan ve olmayan elit atletler arasındaki kinezyofobi varlığını araştırmaktı. İkincil amaç ise elit atletlerde fiziksel performans ile kinezyofobi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemekti. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Atletlerde alt ekstremite yaralanma öyküsü varlığı sorgulandı ve zamanı kaydedildi. Hareket etme korkusu, Tampa Kinezyofobi Ölçeği (TSK-17) ile değerlendirildi. Atletlerin performans değerlendirmeleri esneklik, denge, anaerobik ve aerobik testler başlığı altında yapıldı. Elde edilen veriler uygun istatistiksel yöntemlerle analiz edildi. Bulgular: Kinezyofobi düzeyi, alt ekstremite yaralanması öyküsü olan ve olmayan atletler arasında farklıydı , p: 0.016). Ekstremite yaralanma geçmişi olan atletler, yaralanma geçmişi olmayan atletlerden daha yüksek kinezyofobiye sahipti (p<0.05). Kinezyofobi ile atletlerin alt ekstremite yaralanma öyküsü arasında anlamlı bir ilişki vardı (r: 0.350, p: 0.015). Fiziksel performans test...

“…Contrastingly, Ezzat et al demonstrated in a cross-sectional study of 12 407 12–19 year-old that no significant association was found between being overweight and sports injury, but a protective effect was seen between obesity and sports injury instead 18. In a systematic review of sport climbing and bouldering by Woolings et al , higher BMI was reported to be associated with a higher risk of injury in one of the included studies but not found in two of the other included studies 19.…”

ObjectivesTo identify the correlation between preseason body composition and incidence coupled with injury burden throughout the season in adult male professional football players.MethodsA retrospective case series was performed for linear regression analysis of preseason body composition variables and injury data. R2 >0.10 was deemed of adequate correlation.ResultsAll 36 professional football players in the male first team of an English Premier League professional football team were recruited, with none lost to follow-up. The total and mean incidence of injuries was 83.00 and 2.31 (95% CI 1.72 to 2.89), respectively. The mean injury burden was 58.32 (95% CI 37.67 to 78.98) days missed. Simple linear regression analysis indicated no significant or adequate correlations between incidence and preseason body composition variables. Injury burden revealed non-significant adequate negative correlations to body mass (R2=0.17), body mass index (BMI) (R2=0.15), waist circumference (R2=0.17), total bone mineral density (BMD) (R2=0.11) and mean embedded structures (R2=0.10).ConclusionsPlayers with decreased body mass, BMI, waist circumference, total BMD and mean embedded structures may be prone to greater injury burden. Further studies with a larger sample size that incorporates multiple football teams are warranted to investigate this.
