Data about injuries among synchronized skating athletes are lacking while physical demands in this sport discipline continue to grow. No injury data among junior synchronized skaters exist. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency and pattern of injuries in junior and senior synchronized skaters.
In this descriptive epidemiology study anonymous questionnaires were distributed to synchronized junior and senior skaters. 708 synchronized skaters (393 juniors and 315 seniors) completed the questionnaire. Male skaters were excluded from analysis.
Spinal conditions were reported by 148 (37.7%) juniors compared to 149 (47.3%) of senior skaters with statistically significant cumulative incidence (P=0.01); 23% of juniors and 30.2% of senior skaters reported problems with more than one spinal region; 64.4% juniors and 72.1% senior skaters reported at least one non-spinal injury during their synchronized skating career. There were 380 unique injuries reported by junior skaters and 363 by senior skaters. Lower extremity injuries were the most common injuries in both groups of skaters, followed by upper extremity, head and trunk injuries. From all the anatomical regions mentioned, there was only statistically significant difference between the groups in the occurrence of head injuries with senior skaters having 1.9 greater odds ratio to have head injury.
This study presents new data on the current injury pattern seen in synchronized skating since the inclusion of new skills. The number of head injuries and spinal conditions show statistically significant cumulative incidence in senior compared to junior skaters.
尽管花样滑冰双人滑运动员的身体需求持续增加，但关于该项目运动员受伤情况的数据却很匮乏。目前尚无青少年花样滑冰双人滑运动员的受伤数据。本研究旨在调查青少年和成年花样滑冰双人滑运动员的受伤频率及模式。
在这项描述性流行病学研究中，向花样滑冰青少年和成年运动员发放了匿名问卷。708名花样滑冰运动员（393名青少年和315名成年人）完成了问卷。男性运动员被排除在分析之外。
148名（37.7%）青少年运动员报告有脊柱问题，而成年运动员中有149名（47.3%）报告有脊柱问题，累积发病率具有统计学意义（P = 0.01）；23%的青少年运动员和30.2%的成年运动员报告有不止一个脊柱区域出现问题；64.4%的青少年运动员和72.1%的成年运动员报告在其花样滑冰生涯中至少有一次非脊柱损伤。青少年运动员报告了380例独特的损伤，成年运动员报告了363例。下肢损伤是两组运动员中最常见的损伤，其次是上肢、头部和躯干损伤。在所有提及的解剖区域中，两组之间仅在头部损伤的发生率上存在统计学显著差异，成年运动员发生头部损伤的优势比是青少年运动员的1.9倍。
本研究提供了自引入新技能以来花样滑冰双人滑当前损伤模式的新数据。与青少年运动员相比，成年运动员的头部损伤和脊柱问题的累积发病率具有统计学显著差异。
