Most studies of sports-related injuries have been investigations of specific injuries resulting from specific, organized sports at the high school, college, or professional level. This study documented all types of sports-related injuries received by all school-aged children in a midwestern community of 100,000 for a 1-year period. Public and private schools, community sports programs, hospital emergency rooms, the schools' accident insurance company, and local physicians provided initial accident reports. Injuries were sustained by 3% of all elementary school students, 7% of all junior high school (grades 7 and 8) students, and 11% of all high school students. Nonorganized sports and physical education classes each produced nearly twice as many injuries as organized sports. One-fifth of the injuries were considered serious and one-fourth of all injuries could have been avoided had nominal safety precautions been observed.
大多数与运动相关损伤的研究都是针对高中、大学或职业水平的特定、有组织运动所导致的特定损伤展开的。本研究记录了中西部一个拥有10万人口的社区内所有学龄儿童在一年时间里所遭受的各类与运动相关的损伤。公立和私立学校、社区体育项目、医院急诊室、学校的意外保险公司以及当地医生提供了最初的事故报告。所有小学生中有3%、所有初中（7年级和8年级）学生中有7%、所有高中生中有11%受到了损伤。非有组织的运动和体育课造成的损伤数量几乎是有组织运动的两倍。五分之一的损伤被认为是严重的，并且如果采取了基本的安全预防措施，四分之一的损伤本可避免。
