Objective : This study determined and correlated injury incidence and balance in rugby players.
A prospective survey with balance testing was conducted on first year rugby academy players (N= 114). Injury incidence, static and dynamic balance were tested pre and post-season using a Biosway portable balance system. The data was analysed using paired and independent samples t-tests at p<0.05, Odds ratios, and Spearman's correlation coefficients.
75.50% participated, 71.40% were 18 years old, and 71.40% were White. Injury was sustained by 83% of players with the knee (25%) most commonly injured. Injury incidence was 1.52 per player with an injury rate of 5.95 injuries per 1000 match playing hours. The Stability Index increased significantly (p=0.03) by 15% in the medial/lateral direction post-season compared to pre-season. Significant differences in post-test anterior posterior and overall static and front and front right dynamic stability between injured and uninjured players were noted. Risk factors for injury included the scrum-half (14.80%) playing position, injuries in the 2nd half of the match (57%), and during contact (67%). Conclusion : Injury incidence was related to static and dynamic balance in forward right direction only.
目的:本研究确定并关联了橄榄球运动员的损伤发生率与平衡能力。
对一年级橄榄球学院球员(N = 114)进行了一项带有平衡测试的前瞻性调查。在赛季前和赛季后使用Biosway便携式平衡系统测试损伤发生率、静态和动态平衡。使用配对和独立样本t检验(p<0.05)、优势比和斯皮尔曼相关系数对数据进行分析。
75.50%的球员参与,71.40%的球员年龄为18岁,71.40%为白人。83%的球员受过伤,其中膝盖受伤最为常见(25%)。每名球员的损伤发生率为1.52,每1000比赛小时的损伤率为5.95次损伤。与赛季前相比,赛季后内侧/外侧方向的稳定性指数显著增加(p = 0.03),增加了15%。注意到受伤球员和未受伤球员在测试后前后方向以及整体静态和前侧及右前侧动态稳定性方面存在显著差异。损伤的风险因素包括 scrum-half(14.80%)的比赛位置、比赛下半场(57%)以及接触期间(67%)。结论:损伤发生率仅与右前方向的静态和动态平衡有关。
