Epidemiology of school fractures: a 1-year experience in Greek facilitation classes

Abstract

Tyflidis A, Kipreos G, Tripolitsioti A, Stergioulas A. Epidemiology of school fractures: a 1-year experience in Greek facilitation classes. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 7, No. 2, pp. 589-598, 2012. The purpose of this study was to record bone fractures that were sustained by student-athletes of the Greek Athletic Facilitation Classes (AFC) during a 1-year period. The researchers examined 7455 male and 4921 female studentathletes from September 2006 until May 2007. All fractures were recorded by the Physical Education Teachers of the AFC with the cooperation of orthopaedic doctors, were entered into SPSS and were analysed with the Chi Square non-parametric test. In one year, 129 fractures in total were recorded, and this figure accounted for 11.4% of all injuries sustained by student-athletes of the Greek AFC. Results showed that male student-athletes sustained more fractures than females (67.4% vs. 32.6%, p<0.001). The highest rate of fractures occurred in soccer and basketball, where male student-athletes sustained more fractures than females (78.3% vs. 21.8%, p<0.05). Most injuries occurred in male student-athletes who were residence of the urban region (78.4% vs. 21.6%, p<0.05). Results showed that most fractures occurred during the month of February (χ2=13.12, df=8, p<0.05). The training surfaces on which most fractures occurred was the parquet and the synthetic floor. Overall, fractures of the wrist; metacarpal bones-fingers, and medial-lateral malleollus were the most common injuries observed. Fractures did not require expensive, medical, diagnostic imaging examinations and the total rehabilitation cost in most cases did not exceed 100 Euros.

Incidentes E Acidentes Em Uma Academia De Musculação – Um Estudo De Caso

“…Embora a epidemiologia dos acidentes relacionados a prática de atividades físicas seja amplamente estudada (HABELT et al, 2011;DE GEUS et al, 2012;TYFLIDIS et al, 2012), não foram encontrados trabalhos na literatura voltados à análise de incidentes e acidentes, mesmo em ambientes fechados, como academias de musculação.…”

Beden Eğitimi Derslerindeki Spor Yaralanmaları ve Beden Eğitimi Öğretmenlerinin Görüşleri

“…Okul sporlarına katılan öğrenciler ve beden eğitimi dersinde meydana gelen yaralanmaların genellikle futbol ve basketbol oynarken olduğu (Abernethy & MacAuley, 2003;Backx, Beijer, Bol & Erich, 1991;McLain, & Reynolds, 1989;Haq & Haq, 1999;Videmsek vd.,2010;Türker, Koçak, İstanbulluoğlu, Yıldırım, Kır, Açıkel, & Kılıç, 2011;Sunblad vd., 2005;Tyflidis, Kipreos, Tripolitsioti, & Stergioulas, 2012;Monroe, Thrash, Sorrentino & King, 2011) ancak Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Hindistan gibi farklı spor branşlarının popüler olduğu ülkelerde Amerikan futbolu, rugby gibi sporlarda yaralanmaların bazı çalışmalarda fazla olduğu görülmektedir (Swenson, Yard, Collins, Fields & Comstock, 2010;Kerr, Collins, Pommering, Fields & Comstock, 2011;Lincoln, Caswell, Almquist, Dunn, Norris, & Hinton, 2011;Sen, Chatterjee, & Chatterjee, 2003).…”

Διαχείριση Σεμιναρίων Πρώτων Βοηθειών

“…Αν και οι εκπαιδευτικοί της φυσικής αντιμετωπίζουν εμπειρικά πολλές καταστάσεις στο σχολικό περιβάλλον που χρήζουν πρώτων βοηθειών, δεν έχουν πραγματοποιηθεί έρευνες για να να διερευνήσουν τις γνώσεις σε τέτοιες καταστάσεις. Οι έρευνες στο σχολείο είναι μεμονωμένες και αφορούν κυρίως καταγραφή τραυματισμών, τόσο στο σχολικό περιβάλλον, όσο και σε άλλες αθλητικές δραστηριότητες (Tyflidis, Kipreos, Tripolitsioti and Stergioulas, 2012a;Tyflidis, Kipreos, Tripolitsioti and Stergioulas, 2012b;Stergioulas and Mandilas, 2003).…”
