The objectives of this study were to investigate the incidence of sports injuries in Ireland and to analyze various ways of quantifying the seriousness of these injuries. A 12-month, prospective study was carried out on 324 Irish athletes involved at a high level of sports participation in one of the following categories: endurance, contact, noncontact, or explosive sports. Results were expressed in four ways: 1) number of injuries per year; 2) days injured per year; 3) number of injuries per 10,000 hours of participation; and 4) duration of injury per 1000 hours of participation. The average athlete sustained 1.17 acute and 0.93 overuse injuries per year and suffered the effects of sports injury for 52 days. More time was lost through overuse injuries than acute injuries. The incidence of acute injuries per 10,000 hours of participation was lowest in the noncontact sports and highest in the contact sports, but there was no difference in the incidence of overuse injuries between any of the four categories of sport. The injury rate per 10,000 hours of participation was lowest in noncontact and explosive sports and highest in contact sports. However, when expressed in terms of days lost per 1000 hours of participation, endurance sports had the lowest incidence of time loss and explosive sports the highest.
本研究的目的是调查爱尔兰体育损伤的发生率，并分析量化这些损伤严重程度的各种方法。对324名参与高水平体育活动的爱尔兰运动员进行了为期12个月的前瞻性研究，这些运动员参加以下类别之一的运动：耐力运动、对抗性运动、非对抗性运动或爆发性运动。结果用四种方式表示：1）每年的损伤数量；2）每年的受伤天数；3）每参与10000小时的损伤数量；4）每参与1000小时的损伤持续时间。平均每位运动员每年遭受1.17次急性损伤和0.93次过度使用损伤，并因运动损伤而受影响52天。因过度使用损伤而损失的时间比急性损伤更多。每参与10000小时，非对抗性运动中急性损伤的发生率最低，对抗性运动中最高，但在这四类运动中的任何一类中，过度使用损伤的发生率没有差异。每参与10000小时的损伤率在非对抗性运动和爆发性运动中最低，在对抗性运动中最高。然而，以每参与1000小时损失的天数来表示时，耐力运动的时间损失发生率最低，爆发性运动最高。
