Head and facial injury is a major cause of morbidity associated with the game of hurling. Yet, little is known about either players' experience of these injuries and their prevention with safety devices.
To survey the attitude of some of the country's senior intercounty players towards the use of protective head and facial devices and their experience of injuries relating to the head and face.
A questionnaire-based study. Player attitude to the use of protective devices will be reported here.
Forty-five players completed the survey. Thirty-two (71%) players currently wear helmets with 28 (87.5%) of these also wearing faceguards. Twenty-four (75%) players have been injured despite wearing a helmet and/or faceguard. Thirteen (40.6%) players expressed frustration with helmet performance.
Injury is an unavoidable feature of hurling. To this end perhaps more should be done to involve players in overall apparatus design and safety.
头部和面部受伤是与爱尔兰式曲棍球运动相关的主要发病原因。然而,对于运动员在这些损伤方面的经历以及使用安全装置预防损伤的情况,人们了解甚少。
调查该国一些高级郡际比赛运动员对使用头部和面部保护装置的态度以及他们在头部和面部受伤方面的经历。
一项基于问卷调查的研究。本文将报告运动员对使用保护装置的态度。
45名运动员完成了调查。32名(71%)运动员目前佩戴头盔,其中28名(87.5%)还佩戴面部护具。24名(75%)运动员尽管佩戴了头盔和/或面部护具仍受过伤。13名(40.6%)运动员对头盔性能表示不满。
受伤是爱尔兰式曲棍球运动不可避免的特征。为此,或许应该做更多工作让运动员参与到整体装备设计和安全方面。
