“…Our frequency of injuries in taekwondo, equal to 17.2%, is significantly higher (p = 0.032). Compared with other Olympic combat sports, judo time loss injury frequency of 6% -9% during the last two SOGs was clearly lower than in taekwondo (16% -18%) but slightly higher than in boxing (4% -8%) and wrestling (5% -6%), respectively (Junge, Engebretsen, Mountjoy et al, 2009;Engebresten, Soligard, Steffen et al, 2013).…”

“…Despite those differences, studies have shown that most combat sports can be characterized as high-intensity, intermittent sports (Campos, Bertuzzi, Dourado, et al, 2012;Artioli, Gualano, Franchini et al, 2009;Franchini, Del Vecchio, Matsushigue et al, 2011;Terbizan & Selievold, 1996;Del Vecchio, Hirata, & Franchini, 2011). Consequently, injury risk had been consistently high in these athletes (Kobayashi, Kanamura, Koshida et al, 2010), even if the International Olympic Committee initiated and developed the injury and illness surveillance system during the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics (Junge, Engebretsen, Mountjoy et al, 2009;Engebresten, Soligard, Steffen et al, 2013). In the literature, a few prospective and retrospective studies as well as case reports dealing with combat injuries are available (Souza, Monteiro, Del Vecchio et al, 2006;Green, Petrou, Fogarty-Hover et al, 2007;Pierantozzi & Muroni, 2009) …”

The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiology and distribution of combat sports injuries during African Games 2015. A retrospective study was conducted from November 2016 to February 2017, including all adult patients aged consulted by doctor during combat or admitted to emergency medical sport unit of complex sporting of these Games. The data collected were sex, time and day of consulting or admission, injury risk, types, location and causes of injuries. During these African Games, an average injury frequency of about 78.6% has been observed. Contusions (n = 104), sprains and luxations (n = 43), fractures (n = 40) and wounds (n = 12) were the main injuries observed among 187 athletes. The lower extremities were more frequently affected than the upper extremities (150 cases versus 78 cases). In conclusion, the present study provides the latest knowledge on the frequency and characteristics injuries in combat sports. Injuries are different according to sport in their mechanisms and injury distribution. During African competition and training session, the evaluation and prevention of these factors could decrease the occurrence of such injuries.

“…The protocol for collecting epidemiological data on the player's injuries was based on the definition and injury registry system coming from Junge et al [31], used in follow-up studies of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA). Added to that, a self-reported questionnaire [32] was used to record the number, type, and severity of injuries sustained during the previous sports season (which lasted approximately one year), marking clearly the player's current situation being injured or not injured at the time of the study.…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the post-injury psychological impact looking to avoid sources of health issues. We have analyzed differences in the stress, anxiety, and depression levels between male and female football players who have suffered at least one injury during the last season played, with respect to similar players who have not been injured. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. The participants were 187 football players and data on the player's injuries were collected. A self-reported questionnaire collected number, type, and severity of injuries sustained during the previous sports season (twelve months), and also the player's current situation, being injured or not injured. To evaluate the psychological variables, the DASS-21 questionnaire was used. Results indicated that the male injured players presented anxiety levels higher than those who were non-injured. When we observe the female players' data, the stress levels of the non-injured ones are higher than those of the injured players. Regarding the non-injured athletes, results showed that the female non-injured players presented values in anxiety higher than those corresponding to the non-injured male players. Thus, sport injury affects mental health issues such as anxiety and stress, and in a different way regarding gender.

“…In fact Bruce-low and Smith 14 have noted that, unless your goal is to improve the ability to perform the specific lifts involved with the sport of Olympic weightlifting, there is no need to perform them over and above more traditional resistance training methods. Junge, et al 22 and Engebretsen, et al 23 have reported the prevalence of weightlifting injury in the 2008 Beijing, and 2012 London Summer Olympics. The statistics of 43 injuries from 255 competitors (16.9%: 2008), and 44 injuries from 252 competitors (17.5%: 2012) equate to a 1 in 6 chance of injury, from what we can assume to be the most SKILLED Olympic Weightlifters.…”

Objectives:Recently attention has been brought to potentially unsafe training methods within the practice of resistance training. Thus purpose of this commentary is to highlight the importance of the moral injunction Primum non nocere, and of weighing risks to rewards of training methods, for those providing resistance training recommendations and practitioners of it as a training approach. Design & Methods: Narrative reviewResults: It appears that many popular resistance training methods that make use of either explosive movements or unstable platforms with heavy external loading may present an increased risk of injury. In addition they may not offer any greater improvements to measures of health and fitness above safer alternatives that utilise more controlled repetition durations and avoid use of unstable platforms. Indeed, as resistance type and load may not be as important for determining strength or hypertrophic adaptations as previously thought, nor does there appear to be much supporting evidence for the transfer of balance skills developed using unstable platforms to other movement skills, the necessity of such unsafe practices appears further questionable. Conclusions: It is recommended that persons wishing to engage in resistance training for the purposes of health and fitness whilst reducing risk of injury should utilise a controlled repetition duration that maintains muscular tension and avoid use of unstable platforms. Indeed, practices involving use of lower external loads, or even the absence of external loads such as bodyweight training or isometric co-contraction, may also be effective and may pose an even lower risk of injury.(Journal of Trainology 2014;3:31-34)
