This study was carried out to determine the rate and types of injuries experienced by boardsailors. Results derive from: (a) a review of hospital medical records for water sports injuries, and (b) a questionnaire-interview of 73 athletes windsurfing on waters in the Galveston area during a hurricane and in moderate and light wind conditions. Windsurfers reported 0.22 injuries per 1,000 participant hours. Seventy-six per cent of athletes reported injuries while boardsailing, but only 15 per cent reported significant injuries. The most common reported injuries included lacerations, jellyfish stings, abrasions, muscle strain, sunburn, contusions, and blisters. A small number of athletes reported ligament sprain, ear infection, knee injury, eye injury, and splinters. The large majority of injuries reported are preventable by wearing protective gear, applying sunscreen, avoiding overpowering winds, and selecting safe sailing areas. Four per cent of water-sport injuries requiring hospitalisation resulted when epileptic water-sports participants had a seizure in or near the water.
本研究旨在确定帆板运动员受伤的发生率及类型。结果来源于：（a）对水上运动损伤的医院病历进行回顾，以及（b）对加尔维斯顿地区73名在飓风期间以及微风和轻风条件下进行帆板运动的运动员进行问卷调查访谈。帆板运动员每1000个参赛小时报告有0.22次受伤。76%的运动员报告在进行帆板运动时受伤，但只有15%报告受重伤。报告的最常见损伤包括撕裂伤、水母蜇伤、擦伤、肌肉拉伤、晒伤、挫伤和水泡。少数运动员报告有韧带扭伤、耳部感染、膝盖损伤、眼部损伤和碎片扎伤。报告的大多数损伤可通过佩戴防护装备、涂抹防晒霜、避免强风以及选择安全的航行区域来预防。4%需要住院治疗的水上运动损伤是癫痫患者在水上或水边发作时造成的。
