The first men's wrestling National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship was sponsored in 1928; since then, participation has increased.
Continued study of wrestling injury data is essential to identify areas for intervention based on emerging trends.
Exposure and injury data collected in the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program during 2014-2015 through 2018-2019 were analyzed. Injury counts, rates, and proportions were used to describe injury characteristics, and injury rate ratios (IRRs) were used to examine differential injury rates.
The overall injury rate was 8.82 per 1000 athlete exposures. The competition injury rate was significantly higher than practice injury rate (IRR = 4.11; 95% CI = 3.72, 4.55). The most commonly injured body parts were the knee (21.4%), shoulder (13.4%), and head/face (13.3%), and the most prevalently reported specific injury was concussion.
These findings provide the most current update to injury incidence and outcomes in NCAA men's wrestling. We identify notable trends that warrant consideration in future research.
摔跤运动的 NCAA 冠军赛于 1928 年首次举办；自此，参赛人数不断增加。
持续研究摔跤损伤数据对于根据新兴趋势确定干预领域至关重要。
分析 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，并使用损伤率比值（IRR）来检查不同的损伤率。
总体损伤发生率为每 1000 名运动员暴露 8.82 次。比赛中的损伤发生率明显高于训练中的损伤发生率（IRR=4.11；95%CI=3.72，4.55）。最常受伤的身体部位是膝盖（21.4%）、肩膀（13.4%）和头部/面部（13.3%），最常见的特定损伤是脑震荡。
这些发现提供了 NCAA 男子摔跤运动中最新的损伤发生率和结果更新。我们确定了一些值得在未来研究中考虑的显著趋势。
