“…Although a previous study of field hockey suggested 36.2% (95%CI: 24.0‐49.9) of injuries are transient, we found the proportion to be 53.8% (95% CI: 46.0‐61.4). However, the distribution of injuries to the thigh, knee, and ankle was consistent with our study.…”

Injury definitions encompass all physical complaints, medical attention, and time loss. Expressing injury burden in terms of short‐ and long‐term impact on athlete performance may be meaningful for coaches in terms of preparation. Therefore, our aim was to describe transient (symptoms <7 days) and substantial (symptoms ≥7 days) injuries suffered in field hockey throughout the Irish Hockey League (IHL). Following ethical approval, participants were assigned unique accounts to record injuries through a monitoring software. An all physical complaints definition was adopted. Team physiotherapists were contacted weekly to further capture and corroborate details on injuries. Transient and substantial injury classifications were applied. A total of 173 injuries in 14 690 exposure hours (11.8/1000 h) occurred. Incidence of medical attention (n = 119) and time‐loss (n = 70) injuries was 8.1/1000 h and 4.8/1000 h. Teams suffered transient injuries every 2.3 weeks (median = 2, IQR = 4) at a rate of 6.3/1000 h and substantial injuries every 2.5 weeks (median = 1.5, IQR = 3.25) at a rate of 5.5/1000 h. The lower back and knee were common transient injuries (7.5%), with the hamstring a common substantial injury (11.6%). Although many field hockey injuries are substantial, transient injuries are equally as frequent. These additional means of classifying injuries inform teams of the injuries that will cause disruption within their squad.

“…In 1964, the International Hockey Federation (FIH) had 50 countries with affiliated national associations, and by 2019, this had increased to 137 . However, injuries are common, with half of all field hockey athletes reporting injuries of the upper and lower limbs and 10%‐68% reporting injuries of the head and face . The specific prevalence of orofacial injury due to playing field hockey ranges from 11% to 32%, but this data excludes cases of pain in the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) or masticatory muscles.…”

Background/Aim: Orofacial injuries are a serious problem in field hockey. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of orofacial injuries in field hockey players in Catalonia, the frequency of mouthguard use, the types of mouthguards used and the degree of interference with oral function. Material and Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 325 field hockey players (28% women) from all age categories completed a questionnaire about orofacial injuries occurring during their sporting lives, including dental injuries, oral lacerations and episodes of acute temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain. The questionnaire also asked about the experience of using a mouthguard, the type of mouthguard used and any adverse effects of use. The degree of interference with oral function was compared by type of mouthguard (mouth-formed, custom-made and pre-fabricated mouthguards) using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results:Half of the players (50.2%) reported at least one orofacial injury during their sporting lives. The mean number of oral lacerations, TMD pain episodes and dental injuries were 1.59, 0.24 and 0.18, respectively. In total, 310 players (95.7%) had tried a mouthguard, and of these 269 (86.8%) and 283 (91.3%) still used a mouthguard habitually during training and competition, respectively. Only 11 players (3.5%) had tried all three types of mouthguards, and 71 players (22.9%) had tried two types of mouthguard. By type, 217 players (70.0%) had tried mouth-formed (boil-and-bite) mouthguards, 156 (50.3%) had tried custom-made mouthguards and 30 (9.7%) had tried pre-fabricated mouthguards. Custom-made mouthguards were rated as more comfortable than the mouth-formed type (P < .05). Conclusions:The prevalence of orofacial injuries among field hockey players is relatively high. Most players habitually use a mouthguard during training and competition, typically preferring custom-made or a mouth-formed types. Custom-made mouthguards were considered the most comfortable.

“…Second, match exposure time was calculated as the duration of the official matches (40 min with stopped clock/60) by number of athletes playing at the same time on the court [16], without counting warm-up of matches. Friendly matches were also included as match play exposure [17]. Additionally, injury prevalence was also calculated [18].…”

Epidemiology of Injuries in Elite Female Futsal Players: A Prospective Cohort Study

Injuries are one of the worst case scenarios for an athlete and a team. The aim of this study was to analyze the injury incidence, characteristics and burden among a cohort of elite female futsal players. A prospective cohort study was designed over a season. Eighty-nine players from seven elite female futsal teams were monitored during the whole season. Eight different variables were recorded when an injury happened, as well as exposure time. A total of 90 injuries were recorded so that 54 out of 89 players (60.6%) sustained an injury. The overall injury incidence was 5 injuries per 1000 h of futsal play exposure. Moderate injuries were the most frequent (1.7 injuries per 1000 h of futsal play exposure). The quadriceps and ankle were the regions where most injuries occurred. Contact injuries were more common during matches than training, and usually happened at the end of the season. Elite female futsal players are exposed to a substantial injury risk, especially on ankle and quadriceps with moderate severity, occurring at the end of the sessions, especially during matches. These results highlight the need of new preventive strategies to reduce the high injury incidence in female futsal players.
