To determine the type and number of injuries that occur during the training and practice of Muay Thai kick boxing and to compare the data obtained with those from previous studies of karate and taekwondo.
One to one interviews using a standard questionnaire on injuries incurred during training and practice of Muay Thai kick boxing were conducted at various gyms and competitions in the United Kingdom and a Muay Thai gala in Holland.
A total of 152 people were questioned, 132 men and 20 women. There were 19 beginners, 82 amateurs, and 51 professionals. Injuries to the lower extremities were the most common in all groups. Head injuries were the second most common in professionals and amateurs. Trunk injuries were the next most common in beginners. The difference in injury distribution among the three groups was significant (p< or =0.01). Soft tissue trauma was the most common type of injury in the three groups. Fractures were the second most common in professionals, and in amateurs and beginners it was sprains and strains (p< or =0.05). Annual injury rates were: beginners, 13.5/1000 participants; amateurs, 2.43/1000 participants; professionals, 2.79/1000 participants. For beginners, 7% of injuries resulted in seven or more days off training; for amateurs and professionals, these values were 4% and 5.8% respectively.
The results are similar to those found for karate and taekwondo with regard to injury distribution, type, and rate. The percentage of injuries resulting in time off training is less.
确定泰拳踢拳训练和练习期间发生的损伤类型及数量，并将所得数据与先前关于空手道和跆拳道的研究数据进行比较。
在英国的各个健身房和比赛以及荷兰的一场泰拳盛会中，使用关于泰拳踢拳训练和练习期间所受损伤的标准问卷进行一对一访谈。
共询问了152人，其中132名男性和20名女性。有19名初学者、82名业余爱好者和51名专业人士。下肢损伤在所有组中最为常见。头部损伤在专业人士和业余爱好者中是第二常见的。躯干损伤在初学者中是其次最常见的。三组之间的损伤分布差异显著（p≤0.01）。软组织创伤是三组中最常见的损伤类型。骨折在专业人士中是第二常见的，而在业余爱好者和初学者中是扭伤和拉伤（p≤0.05）。年损伤率分别为：初学者，13.5/1000参与者；业余爱好者，2.43/1000参与者；专业人士，2.79/1000参与者。对于初学者，7%的损伤导致训练中断七天或更长时间；对于业余爱好者和专业人士，这些值分别为4%和5.8%。
在损伤分布、类型和发生率方面，结果与空手道和跆拳道的研究结果相似。导致训练中断的损伤百分比更低。
