To investigate the relation between injury profiles - including assessment, treatment, severity, and the perceived reason for the injury - and participation in competitive netball.
Between 1985 and 1989, approximately 11,228 netball players participated in a 14 week netball competition held at the major competitive centre in Western Australia; 608 netball players presented to the first aid room with an injury and were assessed and treated by the same physiotherapist and St John First Aid officer.
The overall incidence rate during competition was 5.4%, with more injuries occurring in the A grade level of play. Ankle injuries (84%) were most frequent, with 67% of these injuries diagnosed as lateral ligament sprains while a further 10% of players who suffered this classification of injury sustained a fracture to the ankle or foot. Few injuries occurred at the knee joint (8.3%) and only 1.8% of these injuries were diagnosed as an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament. The direct probability of a netball players' risk estimate was 0.054 per person per match which implied that netball was a relatively safe game. Injuries sustained during practice were not included in this study.
Netball is a relatively safe game though the potential for injury increases with the level of competition.
探讨损伤情况（包括评估、治疗、严重程度以及受伤的感知原因）与参加无挡板篮球比赛之间的关系。
1985年至1989年期间，约11228名无挡板篮球运动员参加了在西澳大利亚主要比赛中心举行的为期14周的无挡板篮球比赛；608名无挡板篮球运动员因受伤前往急救室，由同一名物理治疗师和圣约翰急救人员进行评估和治疗。
比赛期间的总体发病率为5.4%，A组比赛中受伤情况更多。脚踝损伤（84%）最为常见，其中67%的损伤被诊断为外侧韧带扭伤，另有10%遭受此类损伤的运动员脚踝或足部发生骨折。膝关节损伤较少（8.3%），其中只有1.8%的损伤被诊断为前交叉韧带损伤。无挡板篮球运动员每场比赛受伤风险的直接概率为每人0.054，这意味着无挡板篮球是一项相对安全的运动。本研究未包括训练期间遭受的损伤。
无挡板篮球是一项相对安全的运动，不过受伤的可能性会随着比赛水平的提高而增加。
