The National Collegiate Athletic Association has sponsored women's field hockey since 1981, and team membership as well as student-athlete participation has grown over time.
Routine examinations of injuries sustained by athletes are important for identifying and understanding patterns that can be used to inform sport safety practices.
Exposure and injury data collected in the National Collegiate Athletic Association 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 6.27 per 1000 athlete-exposures (AEs). Head/face injuries (16.0%) and thigh injuries (12.3%) were the most commonly injured body parts during the 2014-2015 through 2018-2019 academic years. Concussion (8.6%) was the most commonly reported injury, and concussion rates notably decreased between 2017-2018 and 2018-2019.
Study findings were generally consistent with the existing epidemiologic evidence. Incidence rates and trajectories of commonly observed injuries warrant particular attention in the future.
对运动员所受损伤进行常规检查对于识别和了解可用于指导运动安全实践的模式非常重要。
对 2014-2015 年至 2018-2019 年期间全国大学体育协会损伤监测计划中收集的暴露和损伤数据进行了分析。使用损伤计数、发生率和比例来描述损伤特征,并使用损伤率比来检查不同的损伤率。
总体损伤发生率为每 1000 次运动员暴露(AE)6.27 次。在 2014-2015 年至 2018-2019 学年期间,头部/面部损伤(16.0%)和大腿损伤(12.3%)是最常见的受伤部位。脑震荡(8.6%)是最常见的损伤报告,脑震荡发生率在 2017-2018 年和 2018-2019 年之间显著下降。
研究结果与现有的流行病学证据基本一致。常见损伤的发生率和轨迹值得在未来特别关注。
