BACKGROUND: Padel is a rapidly growing racket sport worldwide. As its popularity increases, there is a need to better understand padel-related injuries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of injuries in amateur padel players. METHODS: A Cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in padel players in southern Chile, aged 18 years or older who competed in amateur padel leagues. Data were collected through an online self-report survey between August 2023 and December 2023. Socio-demographic characteristics and padel-related injuries in the previous six months were requested. RESULTS: A sample of 364 amateurs padel players (age 37.4 ± 9.2 years, 63% male) was included. A padel-related injury occurred in 196 participants (53.8%) in the previous six months. No significant differences in injury prevalence were found when comparing by sex (female 53.7%, n = 73 vs male 53.9%, n = 123), age (under 36 years 53.2%, n = 99 vs 36 years or older 54.5%, n = 97) and competitive level (beginner 53.1%, n = 43 vs intermediate 53.8%, n = 107 vs advanced 54.8, n = 46). The ankle-foot region was the most commonly injured anatomical region followed by the elbow-forearm and shoulder-upper arm, and most injuries occurred in tendons and muscles. Serious injuries (i.e., absence > 4 weeks) occurred most frequently in advanced players. Participants over 36 years were more likely to be injured in training than competition. Significant differences existed between gradual and sudden onset of injury for elbow-forearm (85.7% gradual onset), wrist-hand (81.8% for gradual onset) and ankle-foot (64.7% sudden onset). Regarding injured tissue, gradual injury onset was significantly higher in tendons (77.1%), while sudden onset was more common in ligaments (70%). No significant differences existed for sociodemographic and padel variables when compared by the presence or absence of injury. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of padel-related injuries was high and injury prevalence according to sex, age and competitive level was similar between groups.
背景:壁球是一项在全球范围内迅速发展的球拍类运动。随着其受欢迎程度的提高,有必要更好地了解与壁球相关的损伤。本研究旨在确定业余壁球运动员损伤的患病率及特征。 方法:对智利南部18岁及以上参加业余壁球联赛的壁球运动员进行了一项横断面分析研究。2023年8月至2023年12月期间通过在线自我报告调查收集数据。询问了社会人口学特征以及过去六个月内与壁球相关的损伤情况。 结果:纳入了364名业余壁球运动员样本(年龄37.4±9.2岁,63%为男性)。在过去六个月中,196名参与者(53.8%)发生了与壁球相关的损伤。按性别(女性53.7%,n = 73;男性53.9%,n = 123)、年龄(36岁以下53.2%,n = 99;36岁及以上54.5%,n = 97)和竞技水平(初学者53.1%,n = 43;中级53.8%,n = 107;高级54.8%,n = 46)比较时,损伤患病率无显著差异。踝足部是最常受伤的解剖区域,其次是肘前臂和肩上臂,且大多数损伤发生在肌腱和肌肉。严重损伤(即缺勤>4周)在高级运动员中最常发生。36岁以上的参与者在训练中比在比赛中更容易受伤。肘前臂(85.7%为逐渐发病)、手腕手部(81.8%为逐渐发病)和踝足部(64.7%为突然发病)在损伤的逐渐发病和突然发病之间存在显著差异。关于受伤组织,肌腱的逐渐损伤发病显著更高(77.1%),而突然发病在韧带中更常见(70%)。按是否受伤比较时,社会人口学和壁球变量无显著差异。 结论:与壁球相关的损伤患病率较高,且各性别、年龄和竞技水平组之间的损伤患病率相似。
