The lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic inherently changed people’s lifestyles. Forty-eight days of isolation led to worsening physical fitness in addition to the development of other unhealthy habits. The aim of this study was to describe sport-related injuries in the active general population. Physical therapy centres and sports medicine clinics were contacted via e-mail, seeking patients who had sustained an injury during or immediately (up to two weeks) after the lockdown. Patients who agreed to participate completed an online survey that followed the International Olympic Committee Statement. The questionnaire focused on physical exercise habits, type of injury, location and tissue affected. A total of 51 females and 67 males (30.5, SD = 8.8 years) participated in the study. Eighty percent of the participants performed aerobic training sessions, while the rest dedicated their workouts to strength training. Two in every three injuries were located in the lower limbs, and 80% affected the musculoskeletal tissue. Of all the injuries recorded, 67% occurred during the first week after lockdown. The number of aerobic exercise sessions was positively correlated with lower limb injuries (χ2 = 17.12, p < 0.05). Exercise habits should be considered when planning to return to a sport after a period of confinement to avoid injury.
由于 COVID-19 大流行而实施的封锁措施从本质上改变了人们的生活方式。除了养成其他不健康的习惯外，长达 48 天的隔离还导致了人们健康状况的恶化。本研究旨在描述活跃的普通人群中与运动相关的伤害。通过电子邮件联系了物理治疗中心和运动医学诊所，寻找在封锁期间或封锁结束后立即（最多两周内）受伤的患者。同意参与的患者完成了一项在线调查，该调查遵循国际奥林匹克委员会的声明。问卷侧重于体育锻炼习惯、受伤类型、受伤部位和组织。共有 51 名女性和 67 名男性（30.5，SD = 8.8 岁）参加了这项研究。80%的参与者进行了有氧运动，其余的则进行了力量训练。每三个受伤中有两个位于下肢，80%的受伤影响到肌肉骨骼组织。所有记录的伤害中，有 67%发生在封锁结束后的第一周。有氧运动的次数与下肢受伤呈正相关（χ2 = 17.12，p < 0.05）。在计划结束隔离后重新开始运动时，应考虑运动习惯，以避免受伤。
