Participation in competitive bicycling has increased substantially over the past decade, and bicycle injuries have increased accordingly. Cycling has been reported in several studies to have higher rates of injury than other sports and recreational activities; accordingly, riders must be cognizant of the potential for injury and protect themselves appropriately. The purpose of the current study was to survey an established competitive Los Angeles-based road cycling team to determine the epidemiology of and circumstances for traumatic cycling injuries.
在过去十年中，参与竞技自行车运动的人数大幅增加，相应地，自行车事故受伤人数也有所上升。多项研究表明，与其他体育和娱乐活动相比，骑自行车受伤的几率更高；因此，骑行者必须意识到受伤的可能性并采取适当的自我保护措施。本研究的目的是对洛杉矶一支成熟的竞技公路自行车队进行调查，以确定外伤性自行车损伤的流行病学特征和受伤情况。
