Backgroud: Sports participation is a healthy behaviour but it is not without the risk of injuries. Information on the extent of sport participation and sport injuries among Nigerian Unversity students is sparse. Objeclive: To determine the prevalence and types of sport participation and injuries among university.students in Nigeria. Factors associated with sport participation among students were also examined.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire to collect information on the frequcncy and types of sport participation and sport-related injuries among a representative sample of undergraduate students of the University of Lagos, Nigeria. Resuts: A sport participation prevalence of 64.2% (95%CI: 59.5 - 68.7) was recorded among students. Football (soccer) (53.2%) had the highest participation rate. Male students (78.4% vs.41.2%) participated more frequently in sports (p <0.001). Overall injury rate was 52.5 injuries/100 students/ year (95%CI: 46.5 - 58.5). The prevalence of injury was 45.7% in male and 12.7% in female students. About half (49.3%) of reported injuries resulted in time loss. The leg and ankle were the most frequently injured body parts for all injuries and most serious injuries. Football recorded the highest prevalence of injury (73.8%).
Sport participation among students was fair and injury rate was considerably high, mostly affecting the lower extremity and most injuries resulting from football participation. This study suggests the need for improved sport participation support among students and the need for the initiation of injury prevention initiatives by stakeholders.
背景：参与体育运动是一种健康行为，但并非没有受伤风险。关于尼日利亚大学生体育参与程度和运动损伤的信息匮乏。目的：确定尼日利亚大学生体育参与的患病率和类型以及损伤情况。还研究了与学生体育参与相关的因素。
采用自填式问卷进行横断面调查，以收集尼日利亚拉各斯大学本科生代表性样本中体育参与频率、类型以及与运动相关损伤的信息。结果：学生中体育参与患病率为64.2%（95%置信区间：59.5 - 68.7）。足球（英式足球）（53.2%）的参与率最高。男学生（78.4%对41.2%）更频繁地参与体育运动（p<0.001）。总体损伤率为每年每100名学生52.5例损伤（95%置信区间：46.5 - 58.5）。男学生损伤患病率为45.7%，女学生为12.7%。报告的损伤中约一半（49.3%）导致了时间损失。腿部和脚踝是所有损伤及最严重损伤中最常受伤的身体部位。足球的损伤患病率最高（73.8%）。
学生的体育参与情况尚可，但损伤率相当高，主要影响下肢，且大多数损伤是由参与足球运动导致的。本研究表明需要加强对学生体育参与的支持，利益相关者也需要启动 injury prevention initiatives。（注：“injury prevention initiatives”此处可能有误，推测可能是“injury prevention initiatives”，意为“损伤预防举措” ） ，并建议利益相关者启动损伤预防措施。
