To assess the effects of a novel multicomponent neuromuscular warm-up program on lower-extremity injury incidence in basketball players competing at the regional level.
A cluster randomized controlled experimental design was adopted to compare injury incidence between players exposed to the injury prevention warm-up program and those exposed to a typical warm-up program across an entire basketball season. Four teams consisting of 57 players (male: n = 42; female: n = 15) were allocated to the intervention group (age: 21.6 ± 2.5 years; height: 186.2 ± 8.8 cm; body mass: 80.0 ± 10.4 kg) and four teams consisting of 55 players (male: n = 43; female: n = 12) were allocated to the control group (age: 21.6 ± 2.6 years; height: 186.9 ± 9.1 cm; body mass: 81.5 ± 10.9 kg). The novel warm-up combined running exercises with active stretching, plyometrics, balance, strength, and agility drills. Coaching and medical staff provided details on injury incidence each week. Data analyses included the use of poisson regression analyses and the incidence rate ratio (IRR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
The intervention group experienced a significantly lower ankle sprain incidence rate (IRR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.05, 0.98, p = 0.02) and a tendency toward a lower knee injury incidence rate (IRR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.03, 1.78, p = 0.07) compared to the control group. Considering only non-contact lower-extremity injuries of any type, the intervention group experienced a significantly lower incidence rate compared to the control group (IRR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.05, 0.98, p < 0.001).
This multi-team study demonstrated a novel multicomponent warm-up program resulted in less lower-extremity injuries, particularly ankle sprains and knee injuries, compared to a typical warm-up program in regional-level male and female basketball players.
评估一种新型多组分神经肌肉热身方案对参加地区级篮球比赛的下肢损伤发生率的影响。
采用整群随机对照实验设计，比较了整个篮球赛季中接触预防损伤热身方案的运动员与接触典型热身方案的运动员的损伤发生率。共有 4 个队（每组 57 名运动员，男性：n = 42；女性：n = 15）和 4 个队（每组 55 名运动员，男性：n = 43；女性：n = 12）被分配到干预组和对照组。干预组年龄为 21.6 ± 2.5 岁，身高为 186.2 ± 8.8 cm，体重为 80.0 ± 10.4 kg；对照组年龄为 21.6 ± 2.6 岁，身高为 186.9 ± 9.1 cm，体重为 81.5 ± 10.9 kg。新型热身方案结合了跑步练习、主动拉伸、增强式训练、平衡、力量和敏捷性训练。教练和医务人员每周都会提供有关损伤发生率的详细信息。数据分析包括使用泊松回归分析和 95%置信区间（CI）的发病率比（IRR）。
与对照组相比，干预组的踝关节扭伤发生率明显较低（IRR = 0.26，95%CI = 0.05，0.98，p = 0.02），且膝关节损伤发生率有下降趋势（IRR = 0.32，95%CI = 0.03，1.78，p = 0.07）。仅考虑任何类型的非接触性下肢损伤，干预组的发生率明显低于对照组（IRR = 0.26，95%CI = 0.05，0.98，p < 0.001）。
这项多团队研究表明，与典型的热身方案相比，新型多组分热身方案可降低地区级男、女篮球运动员的下肢损伤发生率，特别是踝关节扭伤和膝关节损伤。
