Participation in competitive athletics carries an inherent risk for injury. The acceptable level of risk in certain sports is often a topic of considerable debate. The National Collegiate Athletic Association, and other sports governing bodies, use injury surveillance and input from coaches, administrators, officials, athletes, and sports medicine experts in considering rules and equipment changes. Equipment innovations and/or equipment rules changes may decrease the risk of injury. However, equipment and rules changes can alter the essence or style of play of a particular sport, thus possibly increasing the risk of injury. This article discusses recent changes in equipment in various sports. The reasons for change, controversy, and relevant research related to those changes are also reviewed.
参与竞技体育存在受伤的固有风险。某些运动中可接受的风险水平常常是激烈辩论的话题。美国全国大学体育协会以及其他体育管理机构，在考虑规则和装备变更时，会利用伤病监测以及教练、管理人员、官员、运动员和运动医学专家的意见。装备创新和/或装备规则变更可能会降低受伤风险。然而，装备和规则变更可能会改变特定运动的本质或风格，从而可能增加受伤风险。本文讨论了各类运动中装备的近期变化。还回顾了变更的原因、争议以及与这些变化相关的研究。
