Women's volleyball is a globally popular sport with widespread participation at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) level.
Routine examinations of NCAA women's volleyball injuries are important for recognizing emerging injury-related patterns in this population.
Exposure and injury data collected in the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program during the 2014-2015 through 2018-2019 athletic years were analyzed. Injury counts, rates, and proportions were used to describe injury characteristics, and injury rate ratios were used to examine differences in injury rates.
The overall injury rate was 6.73 per 1000 athlete-exposures. Knee (14.6%) and ankle (13.8%) injuries accounted for the largest proportion of all reported injuries, and most injuries were attributed to overuse (26.1%) or noncontact (22.7%) mechanisms. Lateral ankle ligament complex tears (11.1%) and concussions (7.3%) were the most commonly reported specific injury.
Results indicate an increasing burden of practice-related injuries and the need to further examine overuse injuries. Lower-extremity injury prevention strategies and mechanisms of concussion also warrant further attention.
女子排球是一项在全球范围内广受欢迎的运动,在全国大学生体育协会(NCAA)层面有广泛的参与度。
常规检查 NCAA 女子排球运动员的损伤对于识别该人群中新兴的与损伤相关的模式非常重要。
对 2014-2015 至 2018-2019 学年 NCAA 损伤监测计划中收集的暴露和损伤数据进行分析。使用损伤计数、发生率和比例来描述损伤特征,并使用损伤发生率比来检查损伤发生率的差异。
总体损伤发生率为每 1000 名运动员暴露 6.73 次。膝部(14.6%)和踝部(13.8%)损伤占所有报告损伤的最大比例,大多数损伤归因于过度使用(26.1%)或非接触(22.7%)机制。外侧踝韧带复合体撕裂(11.1%)和脑震荡(7.3%)是最常见的特定损伤。
结果表明,与练习相关的损伤负担增加,需要进一步研究过度使用损伤。下肢损伤预防策略和脑震荡机制也需要进一步关注。
