A survey was used to investigate injuries in dogs competing in flyball. Complete surveys were obtained from 272 respondents with 589 dogs. In the past year, 23.3% of dogs were injured, with 34.1% injured during their career to date. Common injury sites were paws/digits, back, shoulder, and iliopsoas muscle/groin. Injury in previous years, modified by weight:height ratio, was a significant risk factor for injury. Dogs > 2 y of age had increased risk of injury, as did dogs with best times < 4.0 s. Canadian dogs had increased risk of injury (30.7% injured) compared to United States dogs (20.1% injured). This relationship was modified by participation in other sports, which generally reduced risk of injury in Canadian dogs. Further investigation of risk factors should include differences in training and competition between the United States and Canada, as well as injury prevention strategies.
一项针对参加飞球比赛的犬只受伤情况的调查。共收到 272 名受访者的 589 只犬的完整调查。在过去的一年中,23.3%的犬只受伤,其中 34.1%在其运动生涯中受伤。常见的受伤部位是爪子/脚趾、背部、肩部和腰肌/腹股沟。以前的受伤情况,经体重/身高比修正后,是受伤的一个显著危险因素。年龄大于 2 岁的犬只受伤风险增加,最佳时间小于 4.0 秒的犬只也有更高的受伤风险。与美国犬只(20.1%受伤)相比,加拿大犬只受伤的风险增加(30.7%受伤)。这种关系受到参与其他运动的影响,一般来说,这会降低加拿大犬只的受伤风险。进一步调查危险因素应包括美国和加拿大之间的训练和比赛差异,以及受伤预防策略。
