“…27 A recurrent injury was defined as an injury to the same body location and of the same type as a previous injury (ie, index injury), regardless of whether it was a reinjury (ie, after full recovery) or an exacerbation (ie, no full recovery). 28,29 The main outcomes of this study were the overall rate and severity of injuries. The injury rate was the number of injuries, including players' subsequent and overuse injuries, per 1000 player-hours of field hockey exposure.…”

Context Field hockey is popular worldwide; however, it entails a risk of injury. Injuries hamper players' participation in the sport and impose a burden on public health. Objective To investigate the effectiveness of a structured exercise program among youth field hockey players on the injury rate, severity, and burden. Design Quasi-experimental study. Setting On field during 1 season of field hockey (October 2016 through June 2017). Patients or Other Participants A convenience sample of 22 teams (291 players): 10 teams (135 players, mean age = 11.5 years [95% confidence interval (CI) = 11.2, 11.7 years]) in the intervention group and 12 teams (156 players, mean age = 12.9 years [95% CI = 12.6, 13.2 years]) in the control group. Intervention(s) The Warming-up Hockey program, a sex- and age-specific, structured, evidence-informed warm-up program consisting of a preparation phase (ie, agility and cardiovascular warm-up exercises), movement skills (ie, stability and flexibility exercises), and sport-specific skills (ie, speed and strength exercises in field hockey situations). Participants in the control group performed their usual warm-up routines. Main Outcome Measure(s) Injury rate (ie, the number of injuries per 1000 player-hours of field hockey exposure), severity (ie, days of player time-loss), and burden on athletes' availability to play (ie, days of time loss due to injury per 1000 player-hours of field hockey exposure). Results The injury rate was lower in the intervention group (hazard ratio of 0.64 [95% CI = 0.38, 1.07]); however, this result was not statistically significant. The severity of injuries was similar in both groups (t statistic P = .73). The burden of injuries on players' field hockey participation was lower in the intervention group (difference of 8.42 [95% CI = 4.37, 12.47] days lost per 1000 player-hours of field hockey). Conclusions Exposure to the Warming-up Hockey program was not significantly associated with a lower injury rate. No reduction was observed in the severity of injuries alone; however, the burden of injuries on players' field hockey participation was lower in the intervention group.

“…In current literature on risk factors for running-related injuries, studies have included specific types of runners, like novice and recreational runners who participated in a recreational event (Parkrun or 4 mile event),19 21 a broad group of recreational runners,22 23 trail runners28 and short, moderate and long distance event runners 16. Nevertheless, these studies did not focus on one cohort of runners who participate in a short and middle distance recreational running event.…”

ObjectivesTo report (1) the injury incidence in recreational runners in preparation for a 8-km or 16-km running event and (2) which factors were associated with an increased injury risk.MethodsProspective cohort study in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Participants (n=5327) received a baseline survey to determine event distance (8 km or 16 km), main sport, running experience, previous injuries, recent overuse injuries and personal characteristics. Three days after the race, they received a follow-up survey to determine duration of training period, running distance per week, training hours, injuries during preparation and use of technology. Univariate and multivariate regression models were applied to examine potential risk factors for injuries.Results1304 (24.5%) participants completed both surveys. After excluding participants with current health problems, no signed informed consent, missing or incorrect data, we included 706 (13.3%) participants. In total, 142 participants (20.1%) reported an injury during preparation for the event. Univariate analyses (OR: 1.7, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.4) and multivariate analyses (OR: 1.7, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.5) showed that injury history was a significant risk factor for running injuries (Nagelkerke R-square=0.06).ConclusionAn injury incidence for recreational runners in preparation for a running event was 20%. A previous injury was the only significant risk factor for running-related injuries.

“…These percentages indicate a necessity for effective RRI prevention measures 4 . In the last few decades, several randomized trials on RRI prevention have been performed [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] . However, in most trials no significant reduction in the number of RRIs was effectuated.…”

Background Effective injury prevention measures for running-related injuries (RRIs) have not yet been identified. More insight into the opinions of runners about injury prevention might help to develop effective injury prevention programs that are supported by the target population. Objectives To describe the opinions of recreational runners on different components of injury prevention and to identify the barriers to and facilitators of injury prevention in adult recreational runners. Methods A single questionnaire was sent to 2378 recreational runners. The questionnaire contained questions about their interests, actions undertaken, and perceived barriers to and facilitators of injury prevention. Descriptive analyses were used to examine differences with regard to sex, age, and previous RRIs. Results 1034 adult recreational runners (43.5%) responded to the questionnaire. Runners with previous RRIs were more likely to rate injury prevention as very useful than runners who had never sustained an RRI (76.8% vs. 63.6%, p<0.001). In total, 81.8% of the participants 4 indicated that they already performed preventive measures, including changes to training schedules (65.4%) and warming-up (57.8%). Most frequently reported barriers to injury prevention were 'not knowing what to do' (45.2%) and 'no history of RRI' (34.6%). The most important facilitator was an injury (60.1%). Women more often preferred information via a trainer or running store than did men, while men more frequently preferred websites or email. Conclusion The majority of runners rated injury prevention as important. To increase effectiveness, future prevention programs should be developed with an awareness of the barriers and facilitators experienced by adult runners.
