BACKGROUND: The injury profile of each playing position in handball is a key factor in being able to improve the injury risk management process. Therefore, the aim of this study was to longitudinally analyze the differences in professional handball players' injury profile according to their playing position (ie, goalkeeper, back, wing, and line). HYPOTHESIS: Injury incidence and burden would be higher in back players compared with the other playing positions, while ligament and knee would be the most common injury type and location. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort design. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4. METHODS: Sixty-eight male handball players belonging to the same professional team participated in this study over 4 consecutive seasons. Injury incidence and injury burden were recorded as well as the severity, type, and location following the International Olympic Committee consensus statement. RESULTS: Although nonsignificant differences in injury incidence were found according to playing position (rate ratios [RRs] from 0.43 to 2.47; > 0.05), back players reported the highest burden (60.65 absence days/1000 h; RR from 0.12 to 7.75; < 0.05), with wing players showing a greater burden (54.29 absence days/1000 h; RR from 0.09 to 4.91; < 0.05) in comparison with goalkeepers (12.19 absence days/1000 h) and line players (13.10 absence days/1000 h). Muscle/tendon injuries and sprains presented higher incidence and burden than other type of injuries, and a greater incidence and burden was reported for knee injuries in all playing positions. CONCLUSION: The highest injury incidence and injury burden is in back players in professional handball. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study provides comprehensive information on the injury profile of professional handball players, which can be useful for strength and conditioning coaches when developing specific injury risk management programs.
背景:每个手球比赛位置的受伤情况是能够改进受伤风险管理过程的关键因素。因此,本研究的目的是从时间序列上分析根据比赛位置(即守门员、后卫、边锋和前锋)的不同,职业手球运动员的受伤情况差异。
假设:与其他比赛位置相比,后卫球员的受伤发生率和受伤负担会更高,而韧带和膝盖受伤将是最常见的受伤类型和部位。
研究设计:前瞻性队列设计。
证据等级:4 级。
方法:在连续 4 个赛季中,共有 68 名属于同一职业球队的男性手球运动员参与了这项研究。记录了受伤发生率和受伤负担,以及根据国际奥林匹克委员会共识声明的严重程度、类型和部位。
结果:尽管根据比赛位置发现受伤发生率没有显著差异(比率比 [RR] 从 0.43 到 2.47;> 0.05),但后卫球员报告的负担最高(60.65 缺勤天数/1000 小时;RR 从 0.12 到 7.75;< 0.05),与守门员(12.19 缺勤天数/1000 小时)和前锋(13.10 缺勤天数/1000 小时)相比,边锋球员的负担更大(54.29 缺勤天数/1000 小时;RR 从 0.09 到 4.91;< 0.05)。肌肉/肌腱受伤和扭伤的发生率和负担高于其他类型的受伤,所有比赛位置的膝盖受伤都报告了更高的发生率和负担。
结论:在职业手球中,后卫球员的受伤发生率和受伤负担最高。
临床相关性:本研究对手球运动员的受伤情况提供了全面的信息,这对手球队的力量和体能教练在制定特定的受伤风险管理计划时可能会很有用。
