To describe the injury rate and profiles of injuries sustained by recreational padel players, reporting time-loss and identifying player- and padel-related factors associated.
Cross-sectional survey-based retrospective study.
Belgian padel clubs.
Recreational adult padel players.
Players completed a questionnaire on lifestyle factors, sports-playing practices, injuries sustained over the year and time to recovery. Injury profiles by gender and location are described. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified factors associated with an increased likelihood of injury.
In total, 457 players (66.1 % men) participated, with a median age of 42 years. Overall, 167 players (36.5 %) [95 %CI 32.3; 41.1] sustained 185 injuries over the previous year with an injury rate of 2.81/1000 h playing. Median time to recovery was 30 days (IQR 15-60). Lower limb injuries were most common (53.5 %). Independent factors associated with injuries were age over 30 years, insomnia, less padel-playing experience, playing position on the right, carrying out a warm-up, using an overgrip and not playing another racket sport.
The incidence and profiles of padel injuries are similar to those observed in other studies. Female gender was not associated with higher injury risk. Other player- and padel-associated factors require further investigation to determine causality.
描述休闲壁球运动员的受伤率及受伤情况,报告误工时间,并确定相关的运动员及壁球相关因素。
基于横断面调查的回顾性研究。
比利时壁球俱乐部。
成年休闲壁球运动员。
运动员完成一份关于生活方式因素、运动习惯、过去一年的受伤情况及恢复时间的问卷。描述按性别和受伤部位划分的受伤情况。单因素和多因素分析确定与受伤可能性增加相关的因素。
共有457名运动员(66.1%为男性)参与,中位年龄为42岁。总体而言,167名运动员(36.5%)[95%置信区间32.3;41.1]在上一年度共遭受185次损伤,受伤率为每1000小时比赛时间2.81次。中位恢复时间为30天(四分位间距15 - 60天)。下肢损伤最为常见(53.5%)。与受伤相关的独立因素包括年龄超过30岁、失眠、壁球运动经验较少、右侧击球位置、进行热身、使用吸汗带以及不参与其他球拍类运动。
壁球损伤的发生率和情况与其他研究中观察到的相似。女性性别与较高的受伤风险无关。其他与运动员及壁球相关的因素需要进一步研究以确定因果关系。
