To estimate injury rates associated with sliding in high school baseball and softball.
Prospective cohort study.
Community high school athletic events.
Ten high school varsity baseball and softball teams over 1 season.
All sliding attempts were recorded during each game and recorded as headfirst, feetfirst, or diveback. Base type, playing surface, and field conditions were also noted.
Injury exposure rates by game exposures and sliding/diveback exposures.
Data were collected from 153 baseball games and 166 softball games. A greater proportion of slides were associated with injury in softball than in baseball (42.0 and 4.9 per 1000 slides; P < 0.05). Headfirst slides led to more injuries than feetfirst slides in baseball (16.8 vs 0 per 1000 slides; P < 0.05) but not in softball (55 vs 35 per 1000 slides; P = 0.74).
More powerful studies are required to determine whether efforts to prevent baseball sliding injuries at the high school level should focus on better education in sliding technique or changes in equipment. Softball players are vulnerable to injury when wearing inadequate protective sliding apparel.
评估与中学垒球和棒球中滑垒相关的受伤率。
前瞻性队列研究。
社区高中体育赛事。
1 个赛季内的 10 支高中校队垒球和棒球。
记录每个比赛中的所有滑垒尝试，并记录为头部向前、脚部向前或背部俯下。还记录了垒的类型、比赛表面和场地条件。
按比赛和滑垒/俯下的暴露次数计算的受伤暴露率。
共收集了 153 场棒球比赛和 166 场垒球比赛的数据。在垒球中，与滑垒相关的受伤比例高于棒球（42.0 和 4.9/1000 次滑垒；P<0.05）。在棒球中，头部向前的滑垒比脚部向前的滑垒导致更多的受伤（16.8 比 0/1000 次滑垒；P<0.05），但在垒球中并非如此（55 比 35/1000 次滑垒；P=0.74）。
需要更强大的研究来确定是否应在中学层面采取措施防止棒球滑垒受伤，重点是改进滑垒技术教育或改进设备。当垒球运动员穿着不足够的防护滑垒装备时，他们容易受伤。
