“…The difficulty in the comparison of data among studies is due to the absence of an uniform standard in the classification of lesion types. 4 The types of lesion most frequently reported in our study were sprains (34.5%) and muscle lesions (30.4%), which is in line with the results presented by Jarrett et al 4 , Pasque et al 5 and Snook 6 . These authors said that contusions are the third most common lesion in wrestlers, unlike our data in which contusions were the least frequent lesions.…”

“…In a similar manner, Jarrett et al 4 said that 6% of the lesions required surgical treatment and Agel et al 1 and Wroble et al 14 reported that most of the lesions that required surgical treatment occurred in the knee. Several authors [4][5][6]12,15 , using different methods to evaluate severity, report that the majority of traumatisms in wrestlers are not considered severe. In our study, the average length of absence from sport due to injury was 2.1 months.…”

Objective: The present study aimed to retrospectively evaluate musculoskeletal injuries in elite Brazilian wrestlers. Methods: Ninety-five wrestlers completed a structured questionnaire to assess wrestling injury history and clinical and demographic data. Results: Eighty one athletes (85,3%) informed 145 lesions. The most commonly injured body regions were knee (25,5%), shoulder (20%), thigh (15,2%) and ankle (14,5%). Sprains (34,5%) and muscle lesions (30,4%) were the most common injuries. Surgical treatment was performed in 9% of the lesions and the majority of these lesions (61,5%) were located in the lower limbs. Conclusions: Musculoskeletal lesions are common in wrestling athletes and the lower limbs are the most frequently injured site.

“…There have been studies following individual collegiate teams for several seasons. 6,7 Others have reviewed injuries of age groups other than college, or injuries occurring during specific competitions or training camps. [1][2][3][4] There are no previous studies involving many institutions over a long period of time, which would decrease the chance that a single year with an unusually high number of injuries would influence the results.…”

We evaluated the data of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System on collegiate wrestling with a focus on musculoskeletal injuries. Over 800,000 athlete-exposures during an 11-year period compose these data. Findings particular to wrestling and a comparison with other collegiate sports are included. Collegiate wrestling had a relatively high rate of injury at 9.6 injuries per 1000 athlete-exposures. It was second to spring football in total injury rate. Most injuries in this study were not serious, with 6.3% resulting in surgery and 37.6% resulting in a week or more off from wrestling. There was only one catastrophic, nonfatal injury. The knee, shoulder, and ankle were the most commonly injured regions, and injuries to them were often the more serious. Sprains, strains, and contusions were the most common injury types. Takedowns and sparring were the most common activities at the time of injury. Mechanism of injury was evaluated; rotation about a planted foot and contact with environmental objects were identified as areas needing further attention. Illegal action accounted for only 4.6% of injuries in competition. Competition had a significantly higher injury rate than practice, but the injury profiles of these two areas showed both to be equally important. The preseason and regular season had higher injury rates than the postseason, but, again, the injury profiles of these periods were similar. Injury percentages were similar among the 10 weight classes.

“…Neck injuries frequently occur in such contact sports as wrestling, American football, rugby, judo and sumo (Estwanik et al 1978(Estwanik et al , 1980Roy 1979;Snook 1982;Albright et al 1985;Torg et al 1985;Wu and Lewis 1985;Wroble and Albright 1986;Katoh et al 1996;Jarrett et al 1998;Wetzler et al 1998). Regular physical examination and increasing the neck muscle strength has been reported to play an important role in preventing such injuries in contact sports (Chrisman et al 1965;Maroon et al 1977;Diange 1984;Brzycki 1985;Vegso et al 1987;Beachy et al 1997;Tsuyama et al 1999).…”

Increasing neck muscle strength can play an important role in preventing neck injuries in contact sports. The purpose of this study was to examine the actual conditions of the isometric cervical extension strength (ICES) and the cross-sectional area (CSA) of neck extensor muscles in male athletes participating in college wrestling and judo. The subjects comprised 18 wrestlers and 37 judo athletes from Nippon Sports Science University in Japan. The ICES was measured at eight angles (126 degrees, 108 degrees, 90 degrees, 72 degrees, 54 degrees, 36 degrees, 18 degrees, 0 degrees ). Transverse slices of 10 mm thickness were obtained at the position of each intervertebral disc between C2 and C3, C3 and C4, C4 and C5 and C5 and C6 using magnetic resonance imaging. The ICES of the wrestlers were significantly higher than those of the judo athletes. The ICES curve against the angle in wrestlers tended to differ from that of judo athletes. The CSA of neck extensor muscles in the wrestlers was significantly larger at all intervertebral levels examined than those of the judo athletes. A significant difference was observed in the CSA of the deepest area of neck extensor muscles between the groups although the difference was not significant in the superficial area. In this study, the ICES and the CSA in wrestlers were shown to be significantly higher and larger respectively than in the judo athletes, indicating a significant difference between these two sports.
