By means of a questionnaire with a complementary interview and physical examination, the site and nature of sports injuries were investigated over a 10-year period (1977-1987) in 97 elderly athletes (age range 70-81 years). The athletes were still active in training and competition with a mean competition background of 15 years. Of the subjects studied 30 were strength/power athletes and the remaining 67 endurance athletes. Altogether we found 273 sports-related injuries (169 acute and 104 overuse injuries). Of the injuries 75% had occurred in the lower extremities. The most commonly injured part of the body was the knee (20% of all cases). Sprains of the thigh and knee were the most frequent types of acute injury. In most cases the treatment prescribed was rest and physiotherapy. Surgery had been necessary in ten cases (3.7% of all injuries). Mean withdrawal from normal sporting activity had, in general, been 2-3 weeks. Of the injuries, one in five had, however, lasted over several years causing some disability during sporting activities.
通过一份问卷并辅以访谈和体格检查，对97名老年运动员（年龄在70 - 81岁之间）在10年期间（1977 - 1987年）的运动损伤部位和性质进行了调查。这些运动员仍积极参与训练和比赛，平均比赛经历为15年。在研究对象中，30名是力量/爆发力运动员，其余67名是耐力运动员。我们总共发现了273例与运动相关的损伤（169例急性损伤和104例过度使用损伤）。其中75%的损伤发生在下肢。身体最常受伤的部位是膝盖（占所有病例的20%）。大腿和膝盖扭伤是最常见的急性损伤类型。在大多数情况下，规定的治疗方法是休息和物理治疗。有10例（占所有损伤的3.7%）需要进行手术。一般来说，从正常体育活动中退出的平均时间为2 - 3周。然而，在这些损伤中，五分之一的损伤持续了数年，在体育活动期间导致了一些残疾。
