The objective of this study was to compare the Iranian taekwondo-in statistically in terms of total injury rates to international counterparts as gleaned from the extant literature.
The Iranian sample consisted of 204 male taekwondo-in participating in the national championship. The international sample included the participants in national and international tournaments. Validated standard questionnaires were employed at all tournaments to collect injury data that were always diagnosed by the respective tournament physicians. An injury was defined as any circumstance for which assistance was sought from the medical personnel. In addition to injury rates, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) around the rates were computed. To assess which group was at higher risk, odds ratios were calculated, including the 95%CIs.
Compared to Greek counterparts, the injury rate for the Iranian taekwondo-in was statistically significantly higher. The Iranians were also at a higher risk to incur an injury: OR = 11.2 (95%CI: 6.60-18.88, P<0.001, CLR = 2.86). When comparing the Iranian taekwondo-in to their colleagues competing at the 1999 World Championships, the former recorded a statistically significantly lower injury rate but the latter were not at a higher risk (OR = 0.61, 95%CI: 0.41-0.91, P=0.014, CLR = 2.20).
A statistical comparison of total injury rates in Iranian and international taekwondo-in revealed no difference between the two groups. However, what is of concern is that the total injury rate across taekwondo studies is significantly higher than those reported for American football.
本研究的目的是从现有文献中统计比较伊朗跆拳道运动员与国际同行的总受伤率。
伊朗样本包括204名参加全国锦标赛的男性跆拳道运动员。国际样本包括参加国内和国际比赛的运动员。在所有比赛中都使用经过验证的标准问卷来收集受伤数据，这些数据总是由各自比赛的医生进行诊断。受伤被定义为任何需要寻求医务人员帮助的情况。除了受伤率，还计算了率周围的95%置信区间（CI）。为了评估哪一组风险更高，计算了优势比，包括95%CI。
与希腊同行相比，伊朗跆拳道运动员的受伤率在统计学上显著更高。伊朗人受伤的风险也更高：OR = 11.2（95%CI：6.60 - 18.88，P < 0.001，CLR = 2.86）。当将伊朗跆拳道运动员与其在1999年世界锦标赛上的同行进行比较时，前者的受伤率在统计学上显著较低，但后者没有更高的风险（OR = 0.61，95%CI：0.41 - 0.91，P = 0.014，CLR = 2.20）。
伊朗和国际跆拳道运动员总受伤率的统计比较显示两组之间没有差异。然而，令人担忧的是，跆拳道研究中的总受伤率明显高于美式足球报告的受伤率。
