To study the incidence and types of injuries sustained by professional roller hockey players in practices and games, and to compare these statistics with those from ice hockey.
This injury survey used a strict definition of injury, standardized reporting strategies, and diagnosis by a team physician as standards by which to analyze the characteristics of roller hockey injuries.
The injuries were recorded after the players had been examined by a team physician at the game or practice site or in the physician's office.
During three seasons for one roller hockey team and one season for another team, an average of 22 players per team participated in the study. Due to personnel changes, the team rosters were modified between seasons. Each player injury was included in the study. An injury was defined as any physical impairment caused during a practice or game that eliminated the player from that practice or game or the next day's practice session or contest, or any physical ailment that necessitated a physical examination by the team physicians.
Injury data were categorized and injury rates were calculated.
122 injuries were recorded during four professional roller hockey seasons, resulting in an overall participation injury rate of 14.4 per 1,000 player hours. The game injury rate was 304.9 per 1,000 player hours. The players were 105.1 times more likely to be injured during a game than during practice. Preseason practices produced 4.5 times more injuries than regular season practices. In comparison, sample data from the only other published study of roller hockey injuries and from several studies of ice hockey have indicated game injury rates of 139.0 (roller hockey), 119.0, 96.1, 78.4, 78.8, and 66.0 per 1,000 player hours, respectively.
Results of this study demonstrate that roller hockey produces a higher rate of both contact and noncontact injuries than ice hockey; this contradicts the findings of the only other published research study on injuries in roller versus ice hockey. This increased incidence of injury may be due in part to the differences in surfaces, and can prove hazardous to even the recreational roller hockey player or in-line skater.
研究职业轮滑曲棍球运动员在训练和比赛中受伤的发生率及类型，并将这些统计数据与冰球运动员的进行比较。
这项损伤调查采用了严格的损伤定义、标准化的报告策略，并以队医的诊断作为分析轮滑曲棍球损伤特征的标准。
损伤情况是在运动员在比赛或训练场地或队医办公室接受队医检查后记录的。
在一个轮滑曲棍球队的三个赛季以及另一个队的一个赛季中，每个队平均有22名运动员参与研究。由于人员变动，赛季间球队阵容有所调整。每位运动员的损伤情况均纳入研究。损伤定义为在训练或比赛期间造成的任何身体损伤，导致运动员无法参加该次训练或比赛、次日的训练课程或比赛，或任何需要队医进行体格检查的身体疾病。
对损伤数据进行分类并计算损伤率。
在四个职业轮滑曲棍球赛季中共记录了122例损伤，总体参与损伤率为每1000运动员小时14.4例。比赛损伤率为每1000运动员小时304.9例。运动员在比赛中受伤的可能性比训练时高105.1倍。季前训练的损伤发生率是常规赛训练的4.5倍。相比之下，另一项已发表的关于轮滑曲棍球损伤的研究以及几项冰球研究的样本数据显示，比赛损伤率分别为每1000运动员小时139.0例（轮滑曲棍球）、119.0例、96.1例、78.4例、78.8例和66.0例。
本研究结果表明，轮滑曲棍球的接触性和非接触性损伤发生率均高于冰球；这与另一项已发表的关于轮滑曲棍球与冰球损伤的研究结果相矛盾。损伤发生率的增加可能部分归因于场地表面的差异，甚至对休闲轮滑曲棍球运动员或直排轮滑者来说也可能存在危险。
