“…In line with previous research [35, 47, 48] the most common acute injury type in both groups was sprains followed by contusions or bruises. The most common type of overuse injury was muscle injury in both groups.…”

BackgroundPhysical activity in adolescence is promoted for its multi-dimensional health benefits. However, too intensive sports participation is associated with an increased injury risk. Our aim was to compare the occurrence of acute and overuse injuries in Finnish sports club members and non-members and to report training and competing habits associated with a higher injury risk in sports club members.MethodsIn this cross-sectional survey targeted at 14–16-year-old adolescents, a structured questionnaire was completed by 1077 sports club members and 812 non-members. The main outcome measures were self-reported acute and overuse injuries, their location and type.ResultsAt least one acute injury in the past year was reported by 44.0% of sports club members and 19.8% of non-members (P < 0.001). The sex-adjusted odds ratio (OR) for acute injury in sports club members compared to non-members was 3.13 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.54–3.87). Thirty-five percent of sports club members and 17.4% of non-members (P < 0.001) reported at least one overuse injury during the past year. The overuse injury OR for sports club members was 2.61 (95% CI 2.09–3.26). Sports club members who trained 7–14 h per week during training (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.21–2.12, P = 0.001) or competition season (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.18–2.06, P = 0.002) were more likely to report an injury compared to members who trained 3–6 h per week. Those sports club members who participated in forty competitions or more compared to 7–19 competitions per year were more likely to report an acute injury (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.05–2.08, P = 0.028) or an overuse injury (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.02–2.30, P = 0.038).ConclusionsBoth acute and overuse injuries are common among youth sports club members, and the number increases along with increasing amounts of training and competitions. More effective injury prevention is needed both for adolescents engaging in sports club activities and for other adolescents.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12891-019-2417-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Most studies in the scientific literature report higher incidence of injury in contact sports. [ 21 23 24 25 ] 55.4% injuries in the present study occurred while playing noncontact sports. Our findings of higher incidence of sports-related injury in noncontact sports are similar to that reported by Vanderlei et al .…”

Background: Little attention is paid to the problem of sports-related injuries in amateur or nonathletes or recreational student athletes. We investigated the prevalence of sports-related musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries in medical students and attempted to identify the risk factors for these injuries. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire-based observational study on medical students of a tertiary care teaching hospital in central India. A total of 500 medical students were approached; the questionnaire consisted of details, such as age, gender, height, weight, predominant sport played or the sport during which they sustained an injury, estimated time spent playing every week, if they had undergone any formal training for the sport, any preexisting MSK condition, details of the injury and the treatment taken, if any, after joining medical school, and duration from getting injured to return to studies and sports. The odds ratio (OR) and logistic regression were calculated for multiple parameters. Statistical significance was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results: Seventy-four of the 402 students who responded reported sustaining a sports-related injury; 33 and 41 students reported injury while playing contact and noncontact sports, respectively. Of these, 58 students reported that they had received formal training in sports. Football, volleyball, cricket, and kabaddi were the sports during which most injuries occurred. The injury rate was 3.7 per 1000 playing or practice hours. Conclusions: Almost one-fifth of the students reported sustaining a sports-related MSK injury after joining medical school. The risk factors identified for these injuries were male gender, participation in team sports, participation in noncontact sports, and lack of adequate preparation or practice.

“…Mouthguards or splints should be worn by athletes in competitive and recreational sports. 13 The face to cranium ratio in an infant is 1:8, while that of a child who is between 4-6 years is about 1:4. Fractures of the skull predominate in the very young and drop off significantly when the child grows upto 6-7 years due to the development of paranasal sinuses, elongation and forward projection of the face, and eruption of teeth owing to the development of facial area making the facial structures more prominent.…”

Background: Trauma is one of the most common reasons of fatalities worldwide. A study on the prevalence is important to know about the common causes of trauma. Such studies and data boost the campaigning on prevention and increasing awareness against trauma.Methods: Traumatised patients who reported to the emergency or casualty department of Mahatma Gandhi hospital, Sitapura, Jaipur or out-patient department of department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of Mahatma Gandhi Dental college and hospital, Sitapura, Jaipur between January 2017 and December 2021 were selected for this study. The hospital records of patients were retrospectively analysed for age, gender, etiology of trauma, distribution of fracture in facial structure and among maxilla and mandible, treatment procedures patients underwent in different age groups.Results: 371 traumatic patients were analysed for paediatric maxillofacial trauma. The commonly affected age group were found to be 13-16 years, with road traffic accidents being the most common etiology leading to mandible green stick fracture with dentoalveolar and Lefort II fracture in majority of cases. The frequent treatment option was found to be either conservative management, circummandibular wiring, splinting or Open Reduction and Internal Fixation according to age groups.Conclusions: The facial injury pattern is influenced by growth and age of patient. The effect and the management of trauma depend on the age of child. Road traffic accident are the most common cause of trauma and mandible bone is the most frequently fractured bone with dentoalveolar fracture during facial injuries. A clear male predilection has also been observed.
