Women's cross-country is a thriving sport at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) level with over 1000 sponsored programs association-wide.
Routine examinations of women's cross-country injuries are important for identifying emerging time trends in injury incidence and outcomes.
Exposure and injury data collected in the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program from 2014-2015 through 2018-2019 were analyzed. Injury counts, rates, and proportions were used to describe injury characteristics, and injury rate ratios were used to examine differential injury rates.
The overall injury rate was 3.96 per 1000 athlete-exposures. Most reported injuries were inflammatory conditions (33.6%), strains (17.7%), and fractures (9.1%). The most commonly reported injuries were medial tibial stress syndrome (10.0%) and lateral ligament complex tears (ankle sprains; 4.2%).
Findings of this study were not entirely consistent with existing evidence. Future studies are needed to examine the nature of inflammatory conditions and fractures in this population, as well as temporal patterns in commonly reported injuries.
女子越野赛是美国全国大学体育协会(NCAA)一级的一项蓬勃发展的运动,全协会有 1000 多个赞助项目。
对女子越野赛受伤情况进行常规检查,对于确定受伤发生率和结果的新出现时间趋势很重要。
分析了 2014-2015 年至 2018-2019 年 NCAA 损伤监测计划中收集的暴露和损伤数据。使用损伤计数、发生率和比例来描述损伤特征,并使用损伤率比来检查不同的损伤率。
总体损伤率为每 1000 名运动员暴露 3.96 次。报告的大多数损伤为炎症性疾病(33.6%)、拉伤(17.7%)和骨折(9.1%)。最常报告的损伤是胫骨内侧应力综合征(10.0%)和外侧韧带复合体撕裂(踝关节扭伤;4.2%)。
本研究的结果与现有证据不完全一致。未来的研究需要检查该人群中炎症性疾病和骨折的性质,以及常见报告损伤的时间模式。
