Little is known regarding the overall health of youth elite athletes. Our aim was to describe the prevalence and severity of health problems in a cohort of youth elite athletes representing a variety of endurance, team, and technical sports. Elite sport athletes (N = 260, 16.2 years) from different Sport Academy High Schools in Norway, and a group of their teammates (N = 60, 16.4 years) attending regular high schools, were included in the study. The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre (OSTRC) questionnaire on health problems was used to self-report injuries and illnesses for 26 weeks. At any given time, an average of 43% [95% CI: 37%-49%] of the elite sport athletes had some form of health problem and 25% [20%-31%] had substantial health problems. The prevalence of health problems was similar between the elite team sport athletes and their teammates, except for substantial injuries (22% [16%-30%] vs 10% [5%-20%]). Endurance sport athletes reported more illnesses (23% [15%-35%]) than technical and team sport athletes (10% [5%-20%] and 8% [4%-14%]). In contrast, technical and team sport athletes reported more injuries (36% [95% CI: 25-48] and 37% [95% CI 29-45]) compared to endurance sport athletes (15% [8%-25%]). The total impact of health problems was roughly split in thirds between overuse injuries (37%), acute injuries (34%), and illnesses (30%). This is the first prospective study to present self-reported injury and illness data in a large heterogeneous group of youth elite athletes, documenting a substantial impact of both injuries and illnesses on the health of this population.
关于青年精英运动员的整体健康状况知之甚少。我们的目的是描述代表各种耐力、团队和技术运动的青年精英运动员群体中健康问题的流行率和严重程度。挪威不同体育学院高中的精英运动运动员（N=260，16.2 岁）和他们在普通高中的一些队友（N=60，16.4 岁）被纳入研究。使用奥斯陆运动创伤研究中心（OSTRC）健康问题问卷自我报告 26 周的受伤和患病情况。在任何给定时间，平均有 43%[95%CI：37%-49%]的精英运动运动员存在某种形式的健康问题，25%[20%-31%]存在严重的健康问题。精英团队运动运动员及其队友的健康问题发生率相似，但严重受伤的发生率除外（22%[16%-30%]比 10%[5%-20%]）。耐力运动运动员报告的疾病（23%[15%-35%]）多于技术和团队运动运动员（10%[5%-20%]和 8%[4%-14%]）。相比之下，技术和团队运动运动员报告的受伤（36%[95%CI：25-48]和 37%[95%CI 29-45]）多于耐力运动运动员（15%[8%-25%]）。健康问题的总影响大致分为三分之一的过度使用损伤（37%）、急性损伤（34%）和疾病（30%）。这是第一项前瞻性研究，在一个大型异质的青年精英运动员群体中呈现自我报告的受伤和患病数据，记录了受伤和患病对该人群健康的重大影响。
