To correlate training habits of Taekwondo (TKD) athletes to risk for injury.
TKD is a Korean marital art that has been growing in popularity, with nearly 2 million individuals practicing the sport in the United States. Because of the combative nature of the sport, injuries are an inherent risk. However, data on proper training habits, types of injuries sustained during training, and recommendations for athletes to avoid injury are lacking. Frequently, studies of TKD evaluate athletes' injuries during tournaments, but most do not evaluate athletes in training.
Increased training would potentially create more injuries secondary to increased exposure.
This is a cross-sectional observational survey of 72 collegiate TKD athletes from the Pacific West Sanctioned Taekwondo Tournaments in the 2008-2009 season. Variables analyzed during training and competitions were training sessions per week, workout habits, belt level, years of experience, and characteristics of injury (location, type, mechanism, situation, treatment, and days missed).
TKD training habits of individuals who practiced four or more times per week (odds ratio [OR], 4.5; P=0.005) or sparred for more than 2 hours (OR, 8.7; P=0.003) were associated with significantly increased odds (risk) of sustaining an injury. Those who had more than 3 years of tournament experience were more likely to sustain an injury (OR, 0.198; P=0.020).
Increased risk for injury with more frequent practice and longer sparring should remind coaches and trainers that monitoring and adjusting the athletes' training schedules and exposure time could decrease the chance of injury. An athlete that has spent more years in tournaments along with high-frequency and long-duration training was associated with greater risk for injuries. Prevention and education about the risk for exposure to injury may may help athletes and trainers promote prevention strategies and adjust an athletes' training and tournament schedules to decrease the risk for injury.
将跆拳道（TKD）运动员的训练习惯与受伤风险相关联。
跆拳道是一项在韩国发展起来的武术运动，在美国越来越受欢迎，有近200万人参与这项运动。由于这项运动的对抗性，受伤是一种内在风险。然而，关于正确训练习惯、训练期间所受损伤类型以及运动员避免受伤的建议的数据却很缺乏。通常，跆拳道研究评估运动员在比赛期间的损伤情况，但大多数研究并未评估训练中的运动员。
训练增加可能会因暴露增加而导致更多损伤。
这是一项对2008 - 2009赛季太平洋西部跆拳道锦标赛中72名大学跆拳道运动员的横断面观察性调查。在训练和比赛期间分析的变量包括每周训练次数、训练习惯、腰带级别、经验年限以及损伤特征（部位、类型、机制、情况、治疗和缺训天数）。
每周训练四次或更多次（优势比[OR]，4.5；P = 0.005）或实战训练超过2小时（OR，8.7；P = 0.003）的个体的跆拳道训练习惯与受伤几率（风险）显著增加相关。有超过3年比赛经验的运动员更有可能受伤（OR，0.198；P = 0.020）。
更频繁的训练和更长时间的实战导致受伤风险增加，这应提醒教练和训练员，监测并调整运动员的训练计划和暴露时间可降低受伤几率。在比赛中花费多年时间且进行高频和长时间训练的运动员受伤风险更高。关于受伤暴露风险的预防和教育可能有助于运动员和训练员推行预防策略，并调整运动员的训练和比赛计划以降低受伤风险。
