Mountain biking is increasing in popularity worldwide. The injury patterns associated with elite level and competitive mountain biking are known. This study analysed the incidence, spectrum and risk factors for injuries sustained during recreational mountain biking. The injury rate was 1.54 injuries per 1000 biker exposures. Men were more commonly injured than women, with those aged 30-39 years at highest risk. The commonest types of injury were wounding, skeletal fracture and musculoskeletal soft tissue injury. Joint dislocations occurred more commonly in older mountain bikers. The limbs were more commonly injured than the axial skeleton. The highest hospital admission rates were observed with head, neck and torso injuries. Protective body armour, clip-in pedals and the use of a full-suspension bicycle may confer a protective effect.
山地自行车在全球范围内越来越受欢迎。已知与精英级和竞技山地自行车相关的损伤模式。本研究分析了在休闲山地自行车骑行中受伤的发生率、类型和危险因素。损伤发生率为每 1000 名骑手暴露 1.54 次损伤。男性比女性更容易受伤，30-39 岁年龄组的风险最高。最常见的损伤类型是创伤、骨骼骨折和肌肉骨骼软组织损伤。关节脱位在老年山地自行车手更常见。四肢比轴骨骼更常受伤。头部、颈部和躯干受伤的住院率最高。使用护具、锁鞋和全悬挂自行车可能具有保护作用。
