Professional horse racing is an exciting and demanding sport with high injury rates. Surprisingly few epidemiological studies have been published and no prospective studies have been reported. This paper reviews the literature and provides a detailed breakdown of injuries in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland for 1992-2000. The introduction of protective equipment is discussed and evidence for its effectiveness put forward.
职业赛马是一项刺激且要求严苛的运动,受伤率很高。令人惊讶的是,已发表的流行病学研究极少,且尚无前瞻性研究的报道。本文回顾了相关文献,并详细分析了1992年至2000年英国和爱尔兰共和国的受伤情况。文中讨论了防护装备的引入,并提出了其有效性的证据。
