To determine the incidence, severity and nature of injuries sustained during the men's and women's 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 Sevens World Series (SWS) and 2016 Olympic Games Rugby Sevens tournaments.
A prospective cohort study.
All players from the core teams competing in the men's and women's 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 SWS (men: 15 teams; women: 11 teams) and all players from the men's (12 teams) and women's (12 teams) 2016 Rio Olympics tournaments.
The gold, silver and bronze medal-winning women's teams contained bigger players (body mass and stature) than other teams but the men's medal winning teams came from across the size spectrum of men's teams competing at Rio 2016. The incidences of injury in the men's tournaments (2014/2015 SWS: 107.7 injuries/1000 player-match-hours (95% CI 90.9 to 127.4); 2015/2016 SWS: 109.7 (95% CI 93.7 to 128.6); Rio 2016: 124.5 (95% CI 73.7 to 210.2)) were higher but not statistically significant than those in the equivalent women's tournaments (2014/2015 SWS: 88.5 (95% CI 68.4 to 114.5), p=0.250; 2015/2016 SWS: 109.4 (95% CI 84.2 to 142.2), p=0.984; Rio 2016: 71.1 (95% CI 35.6 to 142.2), p=0.208). There were no statistically significant differences between the incidences of injury at the men's and women's 2016 Rio Olympics and the equivalent 2014/2015 (men: p=0.603; women: p=0.562) and 2015/2016 (men: p=0.652; women: p=0.254) SWS.
The incidence, severity and nature of the injuries sustained during the men's and women's Rio 2016 Rugby-7s tournaments fell within the normal range of values for international Rugby-7s tournaments.
确定 2014/2015 年和 2015/2016 年七人制世界杯（SWS）以及 2016 年奥运会七人制橄榄球比赛中男子和女子比赛中受伤的发生率、严重程度和性质。
前瞻性队列研究。
参加 2014/2015 年和 2015/2016 年 SWS（男子：15 支队伍；女子：11 支队伍）核心队伍的所有球员，以及参加 2016 年里约奥运会的所有男子（12 支队伍）和女子（12 支队伍）队伍的所有球员。
金牌、银牌和铜牌女子队的队员比其他队的队员更大（体重和身高），但男子奖牌获奖队来自 2016 年里约奥运会参赛的男子队的各种体型。男子比赛中受伤的发生率（2014/2015 年 SWS：每 1000 名球员比赛小时 107.7 次受伤（95%置信区间 90.9 至 127.4）；2015/2016 年 SWS：每 1000 名球员比赛小时 109.7 次受伤（95%置信区间 93.7 至 128.6）；里约 2016 年：每 1000 名球员比赛小时 124.5 次受伤（95%置信区间 73.7 至 210.2））更高，但没有统计学意义比同等女子比赛中受伤的发生率高（2014/2015 年 SWS：每 1000 名球员比赛小时 88.5 次受伤（95%置信区间 68.4 至 114.5），p=0.250；2015/2016 年 SWS：每 1000 名球员比赛小时 109.4 次受伤（95%置信区间 84.2 至 142.2），p=0.984；里约 2016 年：每 1000 名球员比赛小时 71.1 次受伤（95%置信区间 35.6 至 142.2），p=0.208）。2016 年里约奥运会男子和女子比赛中受伤的发生率与 2014/2015 年（男子：p=0.603；女子：p=0.562）和 2015/2016 年（男子：p=0.652；女子：p=0.254）SWS 相比没有统计学意义。
2016 年里约奥运会七人制橄榄球比赛中男子和女子比赛中受伤的发生率、严重程度和性质在国际七人制橄榄球比赛的正常范围内。
