“…Therefore, the majority of peripheral injuries occurred in the foot, ankle, and hand/wrist, which is to be expected given that these are the common areas of contact when kicking or blocking [6]. Interestingly, compared with the results reported in previous studies, there were no cases of concussions in the present study; the reason for this is unclear but may be attributed to changes in Taekwondo rules and protective equipment [10,19].…”

“…Moreover, the most common injury type was ligament sprains, followed by contusions, fractures, muscle-tendon strains, and cartilage injuries. In previous studies including elite Taekwondo athletes, data on both the distribution of injuries by site and type of injury exhibited a similar trend [19,20]. Overall, the most common mechanism leading to a Taekwondo-related injury was contact with another player via kicking and blocking.…”

This prospective cohort study aimed to identify the incidence and characteristics of Taekwondo-related injuries according to age, sex, and event type (i.e., practice or competition) based on a web-based injury surveillance system (ISS) with a follow-up period of 12 months. A total of 285 members of the Korea Taekwondo Association who competed in the 2016 season participated. Injury incidence rates (IRs) were calculated per 1000 athlete-exposures (AEs). Injury rate ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated and compared regarding age, sex, and event type. During the season, 336 injuries were reported, resulting in a rate of 6.31/1000 AEs. The most common location, type, and mechanism of injury in Taekwondo athletes were the foot/ankle, ligament sprain, and contact with another player, respectively. The overall injury IRs associated with Taekwondo practicing and competition were 4.79/1000 AEs and 24.86/1000 AEs, respectively. The overall injury RR related to both practice and competition was higher in youth athletes than in adult athletes. However, adult athletes were more likely to sustain more severe injuries. Korean elite Taekwondo athletes were commonly exposed to injury, especially youth and female athletes. Therefore, continuation of the ISS suggests the development of interventions for preventing injuries sustained by Taekwondo athletes.

“…To compete on an international level elite athletes train five to seven times a week including full-contact sparring fights for competition simulation [3][4][5][6]. Since injury risk in taekwondo was the highest compared to all other sports during the Olympic games 2012 there is growing interest in injury rates and prevention [3,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The lower extremities have been reported as the main site of injuries in taekwondo of different levels before [1,6,8,14].…”

This study aimed to investigate exposure adjusted injury incidence rates and profiles associated with training and competition in an elite taekwondo athlete population. 82 athletes were investigated for injuries over a period of 5 years. Individual fight time exposure for training and competition was recorded. The type and location of the injuries were classified and exposure-adjusted injury incidence rates (IIR) were calculated per 1000 h for training and competition. 66 athletes with a mean age of 19.3±4.2 years and 172 injuries were included in the final data assessment. The exposure adjusted IIR was significantly higher during competition (p<0.001) with a rate ratio of 6.33 (95% CI 4.58–8.69). Ankle and foot region as well as hand and wrist were most affected with significant higher IIR in competition (p<0.001). Joint injuries, fractures, and bruising occurred the most. Fractures occurred mainly to the hand and wrist region. Future investigations should focus on exposure adjusted injury data including analyses of the detailed mechanism leading to especially severe injuries to improve specific injury prevention in competition and promote evolution of protective gear.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Muskelverletzungen finden sich häufig in Sprint- und Kontaktsportarten mit explosiven Bewegungsmustern. Bisher liegen keine detaillierten Daten zu Muskelverletzungen im olympischen Taekwondo vor, obwohl in dieser Sportart die Muskulatur der unteren Extremitäten physiologisch extrem stark beansprucht wird. Methoden Alle im Training und Wettkampf erlittenen Verletzungen von 76 Athleten eines nationalen olympischen Trainingszentrums wurden über einen Zeitraum von 5 Jahren prospektiv erfasst. Die Daten zur Lokalisation der Muskelverletzungen und dem Zeitraum bis zum „Return-to-Training“ wurden retrospektiv ausgewertet. Die Klassifikation der Verletzungen erfolgte mittels British Athletes Muscle Injury Classification System im MRT. Der Zusammenhang zwischen den Untergruppen der MRT-Klassifikation und dem Zeitraum bis zum „Return-to-Training“ wurde untersucht. Ergebnisse Das Durchschnittsalter der Athleten betrug 22,5 ± 3,2 (16–27) Jahre mit einer mittleren Taekwondo-Praxis von 12,1 ± 4,0 (7–20) Jahren. Am häufigsten betroffen war die ischiocrurale Muskelgruppe (48,4 %), gefolgt vom M. quadriceps femoris (32,3 %) und der Wadenmuskulatur (9,6 %). Die Auswertung der MRT-Klassifikation ergab am häufigsten leichtgrade Muskelverletzungen Grad 1 (3,3 %) und 2 (41,9 %). Es zeigte sich eine positive Korrelation (r = 0,56) zwischen den Subgruppen der MRT-Klassifikation und den Ausfallzeiten der Athleten. Der Vergleich der Ausfallzeiten zwischen den Subgruppen war ebenfalls signifikant unterschiedlich (p < 0,0001). Zusammenfassung Die ischiocrurale Muskelgruppe ist neben dem M. quadriceps im Taekwondo am häufigsten von Muskelverletzungen betroffen. Am häufigsten wurden indirekte, leichtgradige Muskelverletzungen gefunden (Grad 1–2). Die Ausfallzeit nimmt mit zunehmendem Schweregrad der Verletzung im MRT signifikant zu.
