The popularity of team sports is growing among young people. High training volume and intensity may predispose young athletes to overuse injuries. Research to date has tended to focus on acute injuries rather than overuse injuries. The purpose of this study was to examine the occurrence, nature, and severity of overuse injuries in youth basketball and floorball, with the hypothesis that overuse injuries are frequent in youth team sports.
The study comprised a total of 401 Finnish team sports athletes (207 basketball and 194 floorball players). The data were collected using a detailed questionnaire. The participants (mean age 15.8±1.9 years) responded to the questionnaire covering information on overuse injuries during the previous 12 months.
A total of 190 overuse injuries was reported (97 in basketball and 93 in floorball). In both sports, most of the injuries involved the lower extremities (66% and 55% of all injuries in basketball and floorball, respectively). In basketball, the most commonly injured site was the knee (44 cases, 45%). In floorball, the most commonly injured sites were the lower back/pelvis (36 cases, 39%) and knee (32 cases, 34%). Overuse injuries caused an average time loss from full participation of 26±50 (median 7) days in basketball and 16±37 (median 5) days in floorball.
Overuse injuries are a common problem in youth team sports, and often cause long-term absence from full participation. The findings suggest that injury reduction and training load monitoring strategies are needed in the field. More research using explicit prospective data collection is needed to better understand the problem.
团队运动在年轻人中越来越受欢迎。高训练量和强度可能使年轻运动员易患过度使用损伤。迄今为止的研究倾向于关注急性损伤而非过度使用损伤。本研究的目的是调查青少年篮球和地板球运动中过度使用损伤的发生率、性质和严重程度，假设是青少年团队运动中过度使用损伤很常见。
该研究共纳入401名芬兰团队运动运动员（207名篮球运动员和194名地板球运动员）。数据通过详细问卷收集。参与者（平均年龄15.8±1.9岁）回答了关于前12个月内过度使用损伤信息的问卷。
共报告了190例过度使用损伤（篮球97例，地板球93例）。在两项运动中，大多数损伤累及下肢（篮球和地板球中分别占所有损伤的66%和55%）。在篮球运动中，最常受伤的部位是膝盖（44例，45%）。在地板球运动中，最常受伤的部位是下背部/骨盆（36例，39%）和膝盖（32例，34%）。过度使用损伤导致篮球运动员完全参与运动的平均时间损失为26±50（中位数7）天，地板球运动员为16±37（中位数5）天。
过度使用损伤是青少年团队运动中的常见问题，且常导致长期无法完全参与运动。研究结果表明，该领域需要采取减少损伤和监测训练负荷的策略。需要更多使用明确前瞻性数据收集的研究来更好地理解这一问题。
