This study aimed to describe the injury epidemiology of domestic and international level male New Zealand cricketers from seasons 2009-2010 to 2014-2015 across all match formats given the increasing popularity of T20 cricket.
Match exposure and injury surveillance data collected prospectively by New Zealand Cricket was analysed using international consensus recommendations for injury surveillance and reporting in cricket. Relationships between playing level, role and injury were statistically analysed.
A total of 268 elite male New Zealand cricketers from seasons 2009-2010 to 2014-2015 were analysed from the New Zealand Cricket injury surveillance system. Total new match injury incidence rates were 37.0 and 58.0 injuries per 10 000 player hours in domestic and international cricket, respectively. Total new and recurrent match injury incidence in international cricket was approximately 1.7 times higher than domestic cricket (277.6 vs 162.8 injuries per 1000 player days). Injury prevalence rates were 7.6% and 10.0% in domestic and international cricket. The hamstring (8.2%) in domestic cricket and the groin (13.5%) in international cricket were the most injured body sites. Most match days lost in domestic cricket were to the lumbar spine (417 days), and groin in international cricket (152 days). There were statistically significant differences in injury between domestic and international level cricketers (χ=4.39, p=0.036), and playing role (χ=42.29, p<0.0001).
Total injury incidence rates in elite New Zealand cricket increased in 2009-2015 compared with previous data. International-level players and pace bowlers were the most injured individuals.
鉴于T20板球运动越来越受欢迎，本研究旨在描述2009 - 2010赛季至2014 - 2015赛季期间，所有比赛形式下国内和国际水平的新西兰男性板球运动员的损伤流行病学情况。
采用国际板球损伤监测和报告共识建议，对新西兰板球协会前瞻性收集的比赛暴露和损伤监测数据进行分析。对比赛水平、角色与损伤之间的关系进行统计分析。
从新西兰板球损伤监测系统中分析了2009 - 2010赛季至2014 - 2015赛季期间的268名新西兰精英男性板球运动员。国内和国际板球比赛中，每10000球员小时的新比赛损伤发生率分别为37.0例和58.0例。国际板球比赛中，新损伤和复发性比赛损伤的总发生率比国内板球比赛高出约1.7倍（每千球员日分别为277.6例和162.8例）。国内和国际板球比赛的损伤患病率分别为7.6%和10.0%。国内板球比赛中最易受伤的身体部位是腘绳肌（8.2%），国际板球比赛中是腹股沟（13.5%）。国内板球比赛中因伤损失的比赛天数最多的是腰椎（417天），国际板球比赛中是腹股沟（152天）。国内和国际水平的板球运动员之间的损伤存在统计学显著差异（χ=4.39，p=0.036），比赛角色之间也存在差异（χ=42.29，p < 0.0001）。
与之前的数据相比，2009 - 2015年期间新西兰精英板球运动员的总损伤发生率有所增加。国际水平的球员和快速投球手是受伤最多的群体。
