“…This is consistent with what has been reported for British elite female athletes [12]. In comparison with other martial arts, contusions are the most common type of injury in karate [2] and taekwondo [27]. Muscle strains are also common, not only in judo but also in kickboxing [34].…”

SummaryStudy aim: The aim of this study was twofold: first, to compare the incidence of injuries between male and female athletes in the junior and youth divisions during competition, as well as to identify body parts commonly injured and the types of injury frequently incurred; second, to assess overall incidence of injuries in relation to the frequency and duration of training as well as supplemental training. Material and methods: Subjects were Filipino judokas (n = 192) competing in 4 major divisions at a national competition in Manila in 2009. Injury rates are expressed per 1,000 athlete-exposures, and the confidence intervals around the rates were computed.Results: There was no difference in injury rate between boys (84.03/1,000 athlete-exposures (A-E), 95% CI: 47.20-120.86) and girls (37.04/1,000 A-E, 95% CI: -14.29-88.37). Although the boys were at a higher risk than the girls, the difference was not significant (OR = 3.13, 95% CI: 0.62-15.76). The junior women were at a higher risk than the girls (OR = 6.30, 95% CI: 1.26-31.66). Neither training frequencies of ≤2, 3, and ≥4 sessions per week nor training durations of ≤2 and >2 hours were significant predictors of injury. Supplemental training was not found to be related to the occurrence of injuries. Conclusion: Judo is a relatively safe physical activity for young adults and children. Training variables, such as frequency and duration, and supplemental training do not influence the occurence of injury.

“…Injury surveillance studies have been performed in several single-sports tournaments, such as football, 1 3-8 rugby, [9][10][11][12][13] karate, [14][15][16] ice hockey, 17 18 volleyball, 19 beach volleyball, 20 handball, 21 tennis, 22 cycling, 23 and athletics 24 . For multi-sport events, however only eight studies were found in the literature, including three on disabled athletes.…”

Results: 1055 injuries were reported, resulting in an incidence of 96.1 injuries per 1000 registered athletes. About half of the injuries (49.6%) were expected to prevent the athlete from participating in competition or training. The most prevalent diagnoses were ankle sprains and thigh strains. A quarter of the injuries were incurred during training and 72.5% in competition.One third of the injuries were caused by contact with another athlete, followed by overuse (22%) and non-contact incidences (20%). Injuries were reported from all sports but their incidence and characteristics varied substantially. In relation to the number of registered athletes, the risk of incurring an injury was highest in taekwondo, football, hockey, handball, weightlifting and boxing (all >15% of the athletes), and lowest for sailing, canoe/kayak, rowing, synchronised swimming, diving, fencing and swimming. Conclusion:The data indicate that the injury surveillance system covered almost all of the participating athletes, and the results highlight areas of high risk for sport injury such as the incompetition period, the ankle and thigh, and specific sports. The identification of these factors should stimulate future research and subsequent policy change to prevent injury in elite athletes.
