Downhill-mountain biking (DMB) is a high-risk sport and often leads to several injuries, especially in non-professional athletes. We retrospectively analyzed the most common injuries and profiled the injury mechanism. Until now, there is no such analysis of injuries by non-professional mountain bike athletes. We collected patient data from patients who suffered from an injury during DMB. The inclusion criteria were (1) injury during the summer season of 2020 and 2021, (2) injury during off-road and downhill mountain bike sports activity, and (3) treatment at the Department of Traumatology of the Klinik Diakonissen Schladming. Patient data was analyzed regarding the type of injury, location of the injury, patient age and gender of the patients. Most patients with injury are at the age of 26-35. Second most are between 36 and 71 years old. The type of injury differs between age and gender. Mostly upper-extremity injuries occur with a high probability of shoulder injuries. In the elderly patients, we found additional injuries of the thorax and chest. To conclude, most common types of injuries are soft-tissue injuries, often in combination with fractures. The risk for injuries is higher for recreational athletes with different injury characteristics than professional athletes.
速降山地自行车（DMB）是一项高风险的运动，经常导致多种伤害，尤其是在非专业运动员中。我们回顾性分析了最常见的损伤，并分析了损伤机制。到目前为止，还没有对非专业山地自行车运动员的损伤进行这样的分析。我们从在 DMB 期间受伤的患者中收集了患者数据。纳入标准为：（1）2020 年和 2021 年夏季受伤；（2）越野和速降山地自行车运动期间受伤；（3）在 Klinik Diakonissen Schladming 创伤科接受治疗。对患者的损伤类型、损伤部位、患者年龄和性别进行了数据分析。大多数受伤患者的年龄在 26-35 岁之间。其次是 36 至 71 岁之间的患者。损伤类型因年龄和性别而异。上肢损伤更常见，肩部损伤的概率更高。在老年患者中，我们发现了胸部和胸部的其他损伤。总之，最常见的损伤类型是软组织损伤，通常与骨折有关。与专业运动员相比，具有不同损伤特征的娱乐运动员受伤的风险更高。
