This study looks at the changes in injuries after the implementation of a new rule by the International Boxing Association (AIBA) to remove head guards from its competitions.
A cross-sectional observational study performed prospectively. This brief report examines the removal of head guards in 2 different ways. The first was to examine the stoppages due to blows to the head by comparing World Series Boxing (WSB), without head guards, to other AIBA competitions with head guards. Secondly, we examined the last 3 world championships: 2009 and 2011 (with head guards) and 2013 (without head guards).
World Series Boxing and AIBA world championship boxing.
Boxers from WSB and AIBA world championships.
The information was recorded by ringside medical physicians.
Stoppages per 10 000 rounds; stoppages per 1000 hours.
Both studies show that the number of stoppages due to head blows was significantly decreased without head guards. The studies also showed that there was a notable increase in cuts.
Removing head guards may reduce the already small risk of acute brain injury in amateur boxing.
本研究旨在观察国际拳击协会(AIBA)实施一项新规定,即在其比赛中取消头部护具后受伤情况的变化。
一项前瞻性的横断面观察研究。本简要报告以两种不同方式研究了头部护具的取消情况。第一种是通过比较无头部护具的世界拳击系列赛(WSB)和有头部护具的其他AIBA比赛,来检查因头部击打导致的比赛终止情况。其次,我们研究了最近三届世界锦标赛:2009年和2011年(有头部护具)以及2013年(无头部护具)。

每10000回合的比赛终止次数;每1000小时的比赛终止次数。
两项研究均表明,无头部护具时因头部击打导致的比赛终止次数显著减少。研究还表明,伤口有显著增加。
取消头部护具可能会降低业余拳击运动中本就较小的急性脑损伤风险。
