Professional rugby presents significant injury and illness risks to players, which need to be regularly assessed to monitor the effects of interventions and competition rules changes.
HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and nature of time-loss injuries and illness during the pre-season and competition period of the 2017 Super Rugby tournament in a single South African team.
Descriptive Epidemiology Study.
Forty-five adult players were recruited from one 2017 Super Rugby South African team, with 39 included in the final data set. Daily injury and illness data were routinely collected during the season by support staff over a 28-week period (January to July 2017), based on standardized injury and illness definitions. Retrospective analyses of the data were performed.
The incidence of match injuries (241.0 per 1000 player hours) was significantly higher than training injuries (3.3 per 1000 player hours). Twenty one percent of all injuries occurred during the tackle; 37.5% of all injuries were of a "moderate" severity. The proportion of players who sustained a time-loss injury was 76.9% (n=30). The overall incidence of illness was 1.8 per 1000 player days. Acute respiratory tract infection (28.6%) was the most common diagnosis, and the majority of illnesses (64.3%) did not result in time-loss.
This study presented a longer study period than previous research by including the pre-season training, but represented only one single team. The incidence of match injuries was significantly higher than previously reported in Super Rugby tournaments, whereas illness rates were significantly lower. Support staff in professional rugby need to be trained on the standardized Orchard System of Classifications to ensure good quality data that can be compared to other teams within the same or other sporting codes.

职业橄榄球运动给运动员带来了重大的伤病风险,需要定期进行评估,以监测干预措施和比赛规则变化的效果。
假设/目的:本研究的目的是确定一支南非球队在2017年超级橄榄球联赛季前赛和比赛期间导致缺阵的伤病和疾病的发生率及性质。
描述性流行病学研究。
从一支参加2017年超级橄榄球联赛的南非球队招募了45名成年球员,最终数据集纳入了39名球员。在2017年1月至7月的28周赛季期间,后勤人员根据标准化的伤病定义,定期收集每日伤病数据。对数据进行回顾性分析。
比赛伤病发生率(每1000球员小时241.0次)显著高于训练伤病发生率(每1000球员小时3.3次)。所有伤病中有21%发生在擒抱过程中;37.5%的伤病为“中度”严重程度。导致缺阵伤病的球员比例为76.9%(n = 30)。疾病总发生率为每1000球员日1.8次。急性呼吸道感染(28.6%)是最常见的诊断结果,大多数疾病(64.3%)未导致缺阵。
本研究纳入了季前训练,研究周期比以往研究更长,但仅代表一支球队。比赛伤病发生率显著高于此前超级橄榄球联赛的报道,而疾病发生率则显著更低。职业橄榄球的后勤人员需要接受标准化的奥查德分类系统培训,以确保能获得可与同一或其他体育项目的其他球队进行比较的高质量数据。
