Injury surveillance is the cornerstone of any prevention program. However the same pertaining to women's boxing is meager. We hence intended to analyse the incidence, pattern and characteristics of injuries in female boxers during the 4th Elite Women's National Boxing Championship, 2019, in India.
A total of 235 female Indian boxers participated in the tournament. Injuries from the competition injury database maintained in accordance with the injury code proposed by the Australian Sports Injury Data Dictionary were compiled to observe the pattern and analysed. The outcomes measured were incidence in terms of injury rate and injury risk and injury pattern in terms of site, nature, mechanism, severity and time of injury.
The injury rate was observed to be 43.98 injuries per 1000 athlete bouts of exposure (95% confidence interval [CI]: 33.71-54.07) and 293.21 injuries per 1000 athlete hours of competition (95% CI: 225.94-360.47). The most commonly injured site was head, face and neck regions. Most injuries were bruises/contusions followed by cuts and epistaxis. No concussions were reported.
This study observed that women are less prone to injuries than their male counterparts, even though a logical comparison is difficult because of the lack of data and standardization in women's boxing.
伤害监测是任何预防计划的基石。然而，关于女子拳击的相关信息却很少。因此，我们打算分析2019年在印度举行的第四届精英女子全国拳击锦标赛中女拳击手受伤的发生率、模式和特征。
共有235名印度女拳击手参加了此次比赛。根据澳大利亚体育伤害数据字典提出的伤害代码，对比赛伤害数据库中的伤害情况进行整理，以观察其模式并进行分析。测量的结果包括以伤害率和伤害风险表示的发生率，以及以伤害部位、性质、机制、严重程度和伤害时间表示的伤害模式。
观察到伤害率为每1000名运动员比赛场次中有43.98次伤害（95%置信区间[CI]：33.71 - 54.07），每1000名运动员比赛小时数中有293.21次伤害（95%CI：225.94 - 360.47）。最常受伤的部位是头部、面部和颈部区域。大多数伤害是瘀伤/挫伤，其次是割伤和鼻出血。未报告有脑震荡情况。
本研究观察到，尽管由于女子拳击缺乏数据和标准化，难以进行合理比较，但女性比男性更不容易受伤。
