“…Injuries are considered a complex phenomenon [24] produced by the interaction of multiple risk factors [14], where players' characteristics (e.g., gender or age) are the most influential ones [25]. In this sense, previous studies have reported that injury risk increases with age or according to the gender of the players (i.e., higher injury risk for male players) [26], which may be explained by different game behaviors and physical contact among players [21,27]. Additionally, training load performed by the players during matches and training sessions should be taken into account when injury risk factors are analyzed [14].…”

Handball is a team sport in which players are exposed to high physical conditioning requirements and several contacts and collisions, so they must face various musculoskeletal injuries throughout their career. The aim of this study was to summarize the characteristics of handball injuries both in training and in competition contexts, differentiating by gender and age. A systematic review was conducted and a total of 15 studies (33 cohorts) met the inclusion criteria. Higher injury incidence was reported during matches compared to training sessions in all groups (i.e., male and female senior and youth players), with male senior players presenting the greatest values. Lower extremities were more frequently injured, being contusions and sprains the most common type of injuries. Females reported more serious injuries than males, who presented a higher percentage of acute injuries caused by direct contact, while in female players these injuries were not caused by direct contact actions. Wings and backs presented the highest injury incidence; additionally, players registered higher match incidence during international championships compared to national leagues. Due to the differences in the injury profile of handball players, specific preventive strategies should be implemented for each group to optimize the injury prevention process.

“…Van Mechelen et al [12] established epidemiological analysis as the first step in injury prevention because it facilitates the identification and description of injuries in terms of incidence and severity [12]. Many epidemiological studies focused on handball have been conducted [13][14][15]. However, a discrepancy in definitions used in previous epidemiological injury research makes it challenging to generalise findings [16].…”

Handball is a sport that involves high-intensity actions throughout the game, such as sprints, jumps, landings, and high-speed, repeated throws. This, along with competitive and tactical factors, congested schedules, and the need to maintain a high level of performance throughout the season, contributes to a high injury rate. This study aimed to analyse ligament injuries in a professional handball team over six consecutive seasons. A total of 68 elite male Spanish handball players participated, with 54 time-loss injuries (i.e., injuries involving at least one day of absence) observed during this study period. Ligament injury information was recorded following the International Olympic Committee consensus statement. The overall incidence was 0.89 ligament injuries per 1000 h of exposure. Additionally, a higher incidence and burden of ligament injuries was observed during match-play compared to training. Most ligament injuries were classified as minor or moderate (i.e., 79.63% of the total), and 46.29% were reinjuries. A significantly higher incidence of ligament injuries was suffered in the lower limbs compared to the upper limbs (0.81 vs. 0.08 ligament injuries per 1000 h; p < 0.001). Specifically, the highest incidence was observed in the anterior talofibular ligament of the ankle (0.57 injuries per 1000 h of exposure), while the greatest burden was related to the anterior cruciate ligament (24.08 absence days per 1000 h of exposure). This study provides an overview of ligament injuries among professional handball players, highlighting the need to implement strategies with positive effects during competition (e.g., specific activation strategies or training programmes based on strength and balance) and to reduce injury recurrences.

“…Several other researches have however denied this claim and did not report the screening balance tools as suitable predictors for lower limb injury 23 , 24 . A functional inert stability is although necessary to prevent injury 20 , but definitions and objective measures to be used as screening balance tools are lacking 20 , 25 . Developing injury prevention programs in athletics activity is very important in order to reduce injuries 26 .…”

We investigated the ability of balance and proprioception screening tests to predict lower limb injuries in professional male judokas. Fifty-three male judokas of the national teams (Mean ± SD, age 18.68 ± 3.08 years, weight 75.34 ± 11.62 kg, height 175.28 ± 7.24 cm) participated in this study. Limits of stability (LOS), single leg stability (SLS), and knee joint position sense (JPS) was recorded as the screening tests before starting the 10 month follow up. Lower limb injury was recorded all through the follow up. Fifteen lower limb sport injuries were recorded for 53 judokas during the follow-up recordings. Significant accuracy of SLS, overall bilateral ratio (AUC 0.646, 95% CI 0.452–0.839, p = 0.046), as well as JPS 60° bilateral ratio (AUC 0.657, 95% CI 0.480–0.834, p = 0.044), and LOS overall (AUC 0.696, 95% CI 0.551–0.840, p = 0.031) were revealed discriminating between injured and uninjured judokas. The optimum cut-off of SLS, overall bilateral ratio, JPS 60° bilateral ratio, and LOS overall associated with belonging to uninjured judokas group was ≤ 1.15%, ≤ 1.09%, and ≤ 1.09 respectively (sensitivity, 0.763, 0.711, 0.789 respectively; specificity, 0.600). Although the absolute unilateral balance and proprioception scores were almost the same between injured and non-injured judokas, the bilateral ratio of both these indices were different between the two groups. Lower limbs bilateral balance and proprioception asymmetries is a more important risk factor than the absolute unilateral balance and proprioception scores for sustaining lower limb injuries in professional male judokas. Medical professionals and coaches are suggested to use these findings as pre-participation screening tools identify injury-prone athletes.
