Because of appreciable increases in the number of participants, injuries resulting from girls' interscholastic athletic activities have become a concern for school administrators and medical care providers. Four girls' high school athletic programs were prospectively studied for two years. Specially trained athletic trainers placed at each school examined each injured athlete and collected epidemiologic data. The 870 participant-seasons in nine sports resulted in 192 injuries. Three times more injuries occurred in practices than in competitive events. Although more than one third required a physician's services, the majority (59%) had returned to full athletic activity within a week of injury. Strains and sprains accounted for nearly two thirds of the injuries. Generally, the type and frequency of injuries were comparable with those seen in noncontact boys' interscholastic sports.
由于参与人数显著增加，女子校际体育活动造成的伤害已成为学校管理人员和医疗服务提供者关注的问题。对四个女子高中体育项目进行了为期两年的前瞻性研究。每个学校都配备了经过专门培训的运动训练师，他们对每一位受伤的运动员进行检查并收集流行病学数据。九个体育项目的870个运动员赛季共导致192起受伤事件。训练中发生的受伤事件是比赛中的三倍。虽然超过三分之一的受伤事件需要医生治疗，但大多数（59%）在受伤后一周内就恢复了全面的体育活动。拉伤和扭伤占受伤事件的近三分之二。一般来说，受伤的类型和频率与非接触性男子校际体育运动中的情况相当。
