Karate injuries sustained in three national and three international tournaments were reviewed. Two hundred and eighty-four athletes participated in 309 matches. Athletes had an average age of 25.5 years, average years of karate practice of 7.7 years, and average years of competitive experience in tournaments of 3.1 years. Athletes were mostly black belts with gradation from brown belt to fourth degree black belt. There were 82 injuries sustained by 76 athletes within 309 matches, with an incidence of one injury in every 3.7 matches or 0.3 injuries per match. There were more injuries among the lower ranked and less experienced athletes, indicating that injuries became less frequent with increased tournament experience. Punches caused more injuries than kicks. Only 16 of the 76 injured athletes were forced to discontinue competition; one athlete was admitted to the hospital for 1 week due to a cerebral concussion.
回顾了在三项全国锦标赛和三项国际锦标赛中发生的空手道损伤情况。284名运动员参加了309场比赛。运动员的平均年龄为25.5岁，空手道练习的平均年限为7.7年，锦标赛的平均比赛经验年限为3.1年。运动员大多是黑带，等级从棕带至四段黑带。在309场比赛中，76名运动员共受伤82次，每3.7场比赛有一次受伤，即每场比赛有0.3次受伤。排名较低和经验较少的运动员受伤更多，这表明随着比赛经验的增加，受伤频率降低。拳击中受伤比踢击中更多。76名受伤运动员中只有16人被迫中断比赛；一名运动员因脑震荡住院1周。
