The injuries sustained in 295 karate contests were analysed. It was noted that in 25 per cent of the contests there was some sort of injury, and in 10 per cent the injury was severe enough to cause the withdrawal of the participant. Injury seemed to occur most commonly among lower-grade participants and more often in the first hour of each day's competition. Protective padding of the arms, legs, feet and hands, and the use of gumshields and protective boxes appeared to reduce the incidence and severity of injury.
对295场空手道比赛中出现的损伤进行了分析。结果发现，在25%的比赛中有某种损伤，10%的损伤严重到足以导致参赛者退赛。损伤似乎最常发生在低级别参赛者中，且每天比赛的第一个小时更为常见。手臂、腿部、脚部和手部的防护垫，以及护齿和护裆的使用，似乎能降低损伤的发生率和严重程度。
