Academy rugby league competition is an important step along the pathway to professional status, but little is known about injury at this level of the game. The aim of this research was to establish the nature, incidence and burden of injury in English academy rugby league. Using an observational prospective cohort study design, and a time-loss injury definition, the injury outcomes of three professional rugby league academies were recorded during the 2017 season. A total of 87 injuries occurred in 59 matches for an overall injury incidence of 85 (95%CI 67-103) injuries per 1000 hours played. The mean severity of injury was 22 ± 19 days resulting in an overall injury burden of 1898 (95%CI 1813-1983) days lost per 1000 hours. The tackle event was the most common cause of injury (77% of all injuries). Forwards sustained a greater proportion of injuries than backs (forwards 67% vs. backs 33% of injuries). Concussion (13 (6-20) per 1000 hours) and ankle sprains (11 (4-17) per 1000 hours) were the most commonly diagnosed injuries. The shoulder joint was the most commonly injured site (17 (9-25) per 1000 hours). The incidence of injury for academy rugby league is similar to senior professional rugby league.
学院橄榄球联盟比赛是通往职业地位的重要一步，但对于该比赛水平的伤害知之甚少。本研究旨在确定英国学院橄榄球联盟中伤害的性质、发生率和负担。使用观察性前瞻性队列研究设计和失时伤害定义，记录了 2017 赛季三个职业橄榄球联盟学院的伤害结果。59 场比赛中共有 87 名运动员受伤，总受伤发生率为 85（95%CI 67-103）每 1000 小时 1 次受伤。平均严重程度为 22±19 天，导致总受伤负担为 1898（95%CI 1813-1983）每 1000 小时 1 天。触地事件是最常见的伤害原因（所有伤害的 77%）。前锋比后卫遭受更多的伤害（前锋 67%比后卫 33%的伤害）。脑震荡（13（6-20）每 1000 小时）和踝关节扭伤（11（4-17）每 1000 小时）是最常见的诊断伤害。肩部是最常见的受伤部位（17（9-25）每 1000 小时）。学院橄榄球联盟的受伤发生率与高级职业橄榄球联盟相似。
