This study aimed to determine the injury patterns associated with training activities in elite South Korean aquatic sports athletes training for the Olympic Games. From 2012 to 2019, we prospectively collected data on elite aquatic sports athletes at the Korea National Training Center. The athletes were assessed by four sports medicine doctors, and data were stratified according to sex, aquatic style, injury body location, and injury severity. Chi-square tests were used to compare groups. Injury rates was expressed as rate ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Annually, the center hosts an average of 42 elite aquatic athletes spread over four aquatic styles. We recorded 797 injuries in total (annual average: 2.37 injuries/athlete), during training sessions, 57.1% of which were mild injuries. For all athletes, most injuries occurred in the upper limb (35.9%), followed by the lower limb (31.0%), the trunk (24.5%), and the head and neck (8.7%). Aquatic style significantly influenced injury body location and severity for both male and female athletes (injury body location: p < 0.001 and p < 0.010, respectively; injury severity: p = 0.027 and p < 0.001, respectively). In general, male and female athletes experienced a comparable risk of injury (rate ratio: 1.15; 95% confidence intervals: 0.53-2.46). Among the male and female South Korean elite aquatic athletes training for the Olympic Games, most injuries were mild and occurred in the upper limb, and aquatic style influenced injury body location and severity.
本研究旨在确定韩国精英水上运动运动员在为奥运会进行训练时与训练活动相关的损伤模式。2012年至2019年，我们前瞻性地收集了韩国国家训练中心精英水上运动运动员的数据。由四名运动医学医生对运动员进行评估，并根据性别、水上运动项目、损伤身体部位和损伤严重程度对数据进行分层。采用卡方检验比较各组。损伤率以率比表示，并给出95%置信区间。该中心每年平均接待42名精英水上运动员，分布在四个水上运动项目中。我们总共记录了797例损伤（年平均：2.37例损伤/运动员），其中57.1%为轻度损伤。对于所有运动员，大多数损伤发生在上肢（35.9%），其次是下肢（31.0%）、躯干（24.5%）和头颈部（8.7%）。水上运动项目对男性和女性运动员的损伤身体部位和严重程度均有显著影响（损伤身体部位：p分别<0.001和<0.010；损伤严重程度：p分别=0.027和<0.001）。总体而言，男性和女性运动员遭受损伤的风险相当（率比：1.15；95%置信区间：0.53 - 2.46）。在为奥运会进行训练的韩国精英男女水上运动员中，大多数损伤为轻度，且发生在上肢，水上运动项目影响损伤身体部位和严重程度。
