Several studies have indicated that musculoskeletal injuries are common during a professional tennis competition. However, data from a tropical country like Indonesia is lacking. This study aimed to obtain the incidence rate and injury characteristics and identify risk factors of musculoskeletal injuries among professional tennis players competing in Indonesia under the International Tennis Federation (ITF). The study was a prospective cohort during professional tennis tournaments in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2019, consisting of the ITF Women's Circuit Indonesia (two weeks) and ITF Men's Future Indonesia (three weeks). All athletes were enrolled in this study. Injuries were assessed based on the ITF Consensus Statement. Incidence rate was the number of injuries per 1000 player hours (i.e., the total duration from before the match starts to completion of the match after the final point). The magnitude of risk was expressed as a relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Independent risk factors were identified using multivariate analyses. A total of 161 tennis players were enrolled; 71 (44.1%) were men. Their mean age was 22 years old. The incidence rate of musculoskeletal injuries was 30.8 injuries per 1000 player hours (95% CI: 28.2-33.5). The most common onset was acute injuries (61.1%), while the most common location and type of injury was the trunk (38.9%) and muscle strain (61.1%). Risk factors associated with musculoskeletal injury were higher body height, skill level, history of previous injury, and wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) zone. There was no injury during the doubles matches. Previous injury was an independent risk factor (adjusted RR: 48.1 (95% CI: 11.3-155.0; p < 0.001). The incidence of musculoskeletal injuries among professional tennis player is considerably high. Factors associated with injury are body height, skill level, previous injury, and WBGT zone. Future injury prevention programmes should incorporate the management of previous injuries and take into account the effect of environmental temperature.
几项研究表明，在职业网球比赛中肌肉骨骼损伤很常见。然而，来自印度尼西亚这样的热带国家的数据却很缺乏。本研究旨在获得印度尼西亚国际网球联合会（ITF）职业网球运动员的肌肉骨骼损伤发生率和损伤特征，并确定其危险因素。该研究是在 2019 年印度尼西亚雅加达举行的职业网球锦标赛期间进行的前瞻性队列研究，包括 ITF 女子巡回赛印度尼西亚（两周）和 ITF 男子未来赛印度尼西亚（三周）。所有运动员都参加了这项研究。损伤是根据 ITF 共识声明进行评估的。发生率是每 1000 名运动员小时（即从比赛开始前到比赛结束后的总时间）发生的损伤数。风险程度用相对风险（RR）及其 95%置信区间（CI）表示。使用多变量分析确定独立危险因素。共有 161 名网球运动员参加了研究；71 名（44.1%）是男性。他们的平均年龄为 22 岁。肌肉骨骼损伤的发生率为每 1000 名运动员小时 30.8 次（95%CI：28.2-33.5）。最常见的发病是急性损伤（61.1%），而最常见的损伤部位和类型是躯干（38.9%）和肌肉拉伤（61.1%）。与肌肉骨骼损伤相关的危险因素是较高的身高、技能水平、既往损伤史和湿球黑球温度（WBGT）区。双打比赛中没有受伤。既往损伤是一个独立的危险因素（调整后的 RR：48.1（95%CI：11.3-155.0；p < 0.001）。职业网球运动员肌肉骨骼损伤的发生率相当高。与损伤相关的因素是身高、技能水平、既往损伤和 WBGT 区。未来的损伤预防计划应包括既往损伤的管理，并考虑环境温度的影响。
