Floorball is a running indoor team sport that has growing popularity worldwide. Some prospective studies have investigated injuries in national floorball leagues, but such studies at the international level are lacking.
To investigate the incidence and characteristics of injuries during 12 International Floorball Federation (IFF) events.
All top-level IFF events from 2012 to 2015 were included in the study. The IFF events were divided into the following groups: Men's World Floorball Championships (2012 and 2014), Women's World Floorball Championships (2013 and 2015), Men's Champions Cup (2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015) and Women's Champions Cup (2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015). The team medical personnel prospectively recorded the injuries that occurred in games and practices. The time of exposure was calculated for entire teams based on the IFF statistics.
Sixty-eight injuries were registered among 67 players. Sixty-five of the injuries occurred in games, resulting in an injury incidence of 21.24 per 1000 game hours (95% CI 16.13 to 26.35). There was no significant difference in the incidence of game injuries between females and males (incidence rate ratio 0.68, 95% CI 0.41 to 1.11). The ankle was the most common site of injury (24%), followed by the head (18%) and the knee (18%). Almost half of the injuries (46%) involved joints or ligaments.
Risk of injury during IFF tournaments was lower than in many other team sports at the highest level of play. Preventive actions should focus on acute ankle and knee injuries as well as head and face injuries.
地板球是一项在室内进行的团队跑步运动，在全球范围内越来越受欢迎。一些前瞻性研究调查了国家地板球联赛中的伤病情况，但缺乏国际层面的此类研究。
调查12项国际地板球联合会（IFF）赛事期间伤病的发生率和特征。
本研究纳入了2012年至2015年期间所有顶级IFF赛事。IFF赛事分为以下几组：男子世界地板球锦标赛（2012年和2014年）、女子世界地板球锦标赛（2013年和2015年）、男子冠军杯赛（2012年、2013年、2014年和2015年）以及女子冠军杯赛（2012年、2013年、2014年和2015年）。团队医务人员前瞻性地记录了比赛和训练中发生的伤病情况。根据IFF的统计数据计算整个团队的暴露时间。
67名运动员共记录到68例伤病。其中65例伤病发生在比赛中，导致每1000比赛小时的伤病发生率为21.24（95%CI 16.13至26.35）。女性和男性比赛伤病发生率无显著差异（发生率比值为0.68，95%CI 0.4l至1.11）。脚踝是最常见的受伤部位（24%），其次是头部（18%）和膝盖（18%）。几乎一半的伤病（46%）涉及关节或韧带。
IFF赛事期间的伤病风险低于许多其他最高水平的团队运动。预防措施应侧重于急性脚踝和膝盖伤病以及头部和面部伤病。
