Abstract

BACKGROUND

Tennis is a popular global sport characterised by repeated, explosive motions and the involvement of several muscle groups during different strokes, which fluctuates randomly from brief periods of maximal or near maximal work to longer periods of moderate and low intensity activity.

OBJECTIVES

To determine the pattern of injuries amongst tennis players in Accra.

METHOD

A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 142 male and female participants selected from tennis clubs in Accra and the Accra sports stadium. A standardised tennis injury report form was used to obtain data from participants. Data on the parts of the body mostly injured and the types of injury mostly sustained by the players were summarised and presented appropriately with the use of graphs and pie charts. Assessment of the causes underlying the prevailing injuries to tennis players was also tabulated and comparisons made.

RESULTS

Out of a total of 170 injuries recorded, knee (39 [27.5%]) and shoulder (31 [21.1%]) injuries were the most commonly sustained. Most (80 [56.3%]) tennis injuries occurred during training. Other injuries (26 [18.3%]) occurred during competitions or tournaments whilst 26 (18.3%) occurred during social play. About 10 (7.0%) participants were not certain of the type of activity at the time of injury. The majority (35 [24.65%]) of the players received no treatment for their injuries. However, few of the injuries (20 [14.08%], 14 [9.86%], 6 [4.23%]) sustained were treated by medical personnel, physiotherapists or nurses respectively. There was no association between warm-up before play and cause of injury ( = 0.375). There was also no association between shoe type and cause of injury ( = 0.253).

CONCLUSION

The majority of the injuries occurred in the upper and lower limbs. Most of these injuries occurred during training with overuse and overexertion being the most common cause.

CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS

It is important to educate tennis players and coaches on injury prevention measures and the use of protective gear during tennis.

摘要

背景

网球是一项全球流行的运动，其特点是动作反复、爆发力强，且在不同击球过程中涉及多个肌肉群，运动强度在短时间内从最大或接近最大强度随机波动到较长时间的中等强度和低强度活动。

目的

确定阿克拉网球运动员的受伤模式。

方法

进行了一项横断面研究，涉及从阿克拉的网球俱乐部和阿克拉体育场挑选的142名男性和女性参与者。使用标准化的网球损伤报告表从参与者那里获取数据。关于身体最常受伤部位和运动员最常遭受的损伤类型的数据，通过图表和饼图进行了适当的汇总和呈现。还将网球运动员普遍受伤的潜在原因评估制成表格并进行了比较。

结果

在总共记录的170例损伤中，膝盖损伤（39例[27.5%]）和肩部损伤（31例[21.1%]）最为常见。大多数（80例[56.3%]）网球损伤发生在训练期间。其他损伤（26例[18.3%]）发生在比赛或锦标赛期间，26例（18.3%）发生在社交活动期间。约10名（7.0%）参与者不确定受伤时的活动类型。大多数（35例[24.65%]）运动员受伤后未接受治疗。然而，分别有少数损伤（20例[14.08%]、14例[9.86%]、6例[4.23%]）由医务人员、物理治疗师或护士进行了治疗。比赛前的热身与受伤原因之间没有关联（P = 0.375）。鞋的类型与受伤原因之间也没有关联（P = 0.253）。
