The purpose of this study was to identify all injuries to members of an elite women's rugby team and to compare these injuries with published data on injuries in other women's contact and collision sports.
This was a prospective cohort observational study conducted using a monthly log completed by the team's certified athletic therapist to closely monitor attendance at practices and games along with the type and severity of injuries.
Rugby games and practices held in Ontario, Quebec, and the Netherlands.
Forty members of the Ontario Women's Senior Provincial Rugby Team over the 1997 season and the 1998 World Championships.
An injury was defined as a rugby-related event that kept a player out of practice or competition for >24 hours or required the attention of a physician (e.g., suturing lacerations) and in addition included all dental, eye, and nerve injuries and concussions.
There were a total of 35 injuries in 4,958 player-hours and 2,926 athletic exposures. This resulted in a rugby injury rate of 7.1+/-0.4 per 1,000 player-hours and 12.0+/-2 per 1,000 athletic exposures.
The incidence of injuries in women's rugby is comparable with that in other women's contact and collision sports, indicating that the sport may be safer than stated in the literature and media.
本研究旨在确定一支精英女子橄榄球队队员的所有损伤情况,并将这些损伤与其他女子对抗性和碰撞性运动损伤的已发表数据进行比较。
这是一项前瞻性队列观察研究,通过球队认证运动治疗师每月填写的日志来密切监测训练和比赛的出勤情况以及损伤的类型和严重程度。
在安大略省、魁北克省和荷兰举行的橄榄球比赛和训练。
1997赛季和1998年世界锦标赛期间安大略省女子高级省级橄榄球队的40名队员。
损伤定义为与橄榄球相关的事件,该事件使运动员无法参加训练或比赛超过24小时,或需要医生处理(如缝合撕裂伤),此外还包括所有牙齿、眼睛和神经损伤以及脑震荡。
在4958运动员小时和2926次运动暴露中,共有35例损伤。这导致橄榄球损伤率为每1000运动员小时7.1±0.4例,每1000次运动暴露12.0±2例。
女子橄榄球的损伤发生率与其他女子对抗性和碰撞性运动相当,表明该运动可能比文献和媒体中描述的更安全。
