To determine the distribution of injuries in the eventing discipline of equestrian sports and the effectiveness of the protective equipment worn.
Data on all injuries sustained in the cross country phase over fixed obstacles were collected from 54 days of competition from 1992 to 1997. This involved 16,940 rides.
Data on a total of 193 injuries were collected, which included two deaths. This represents an injury rate of 1.1%. Head and facial injuries represented the largest group (31%), with one third of these requiring treatment in hospital. All riders were wearing protective helmets and body protectors.
Eventing is one of the most dangerous equestrian sports. Improved protective equipment, which is mandatory for 1999, should reduce the severity of these injuries.
确定马术三项赛项目中损伤的分布情况以及所佩戴防护装备的有效性。
收集了1992年至1997年54天比赛中越野赛阶段越过固定障碍时发生的所有损伤数据。这涉及16940次骑行。
共收集到193例损伤数据，其中包括两例死亡。损伤发生率为1.1%。头部和面部损伤占比最大（31%），其中三分之一需要住院治疗。所有骑手都佩戴了防护头盔和护具。
三项赛是最危险的马术运动项目之一。1999年起强制使用的改良防护装备应能降低这些损伤的严重程度。
