High-quality sport-specific information about the nature, type, cause, and frequency of injuries is needed to set injury prevention priorities. This article describes the type, nature, and mechanism of injuries in community Australian Football (community AF) players, as collected through field-based monitoring of injury in teams of players.
Compilation of published prospectively collected injury data from 3 studies in junior community AF (1202 injuries in 1950+ players) and 3 studies in adult community AF (1765 injuries in 2265 players). This was supplemented with previously unpublished data from the most recent adult community AF injury cohort study conducted in 2007 to 2008. Injuries were ranked according to most common body regions, nature of injury, and mechanism.
In all players, lower limb injuries were the most frequent injury in community AF and were generally muscle strains, joint sprains, and superficial injuries. These injuries most commonly resulted from incidental contact with other players, or from "overexertion." Upper limb injuries were less common but included fractures, strains, and sprains that were generally caused by incidental contact between players and the result of players falling to the ground.
Lower limb injuries are common in community AF and could have an adverse impact on sustained participation in the game. Based on what is known about their mechanisms, it is likely that a high proportion of lower limb injuries could be prevented and they should therefore be a priority for injury prevention in community AF.
需要高质量的特定于运动的信息，包括损伤的性质、类型、原因和频率，以便确定损伤预防的优先事项。本文描述了通过对社区澳式足球（社区 AF）运动员的团队进行基于现场的损伤监测收集到的社区 AF 运动员的损伤类型、性质和机制。
对 3 项青少年社区 AF 前瞻性收集损伤数据的研究（1950 多名运动员中的 1202 次损伤）和 3 项成人社区 AF 研究（2265 名运动员中的 1765 次损伤）的已发表资料进行综合。此外，还补充了 2007 年至 2008 年最近进行的成人社区 AF 损伤队列研究中以前未发表的数据。根据最常见的身体部位、损伤性质和机制对损伤进行了分类。
在所有运动员中，下肢损伤是社区 AF 中最常见的损伤，通常是肌肉拉伤、关节扭伤和浅表损伤。这些损伤主要是由与其他运动员的偶然接触或“过度劳累”引起的。上肢损伤较少见，但包括骨折、拉伤和扭伤，这些损伤通常是由运动员之间的偶然接触引起的，并且是运动员倒地的结果。
下肢损伤在社区 AF 中很常见，可能会对持续参与比赛产生不利影响。根据我们对其机制的了解，很可能有很大一部分下肢损伤可以预防，因此它们应该是社区 AF 损伤预防的优先事项。
