Abstract

Objectives

To describe and compare seasonal prevalence, anatomical location, severity, and onset of injuries between female and male elite ice hockey players.

Design

Cross-sectional survey study.

Setting

Elite ice hockey.

Participants

Swedish elite ice hockey players (170 females & 190 males).

Main outcome measures

Past season injuries reported on a modified version of the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center overuse injury questionnaire. Proportions of players who experienced any and substantial problems, as well as respective injury severity scores were presented and compared between sexes.

Results

Highest seasonal prevalence was reported for hip/groin [31.1% (n = 112)], lower back [24.2% (n = 87)], and shoulder injuries [23.6% (n = 85)]. Prevalence of injuries was approximately similar between sexes. Substantial injuries were most prevalent in the hip/groin (13.3% [n = 48]) and knee (18.6% [n = 67]) region. Females reported a higher proportion of substantial hip/groin injuries. Most reported injuries were acute except for hip/groin and lower back injuries (74.4% and 81.8% due to overuse).

Conclusion

Seasonal prevalence of injuries in elite ice hockey players were comparable between sexes. Acute injuries were most common but hip/groin as well as lower back injuries were predominantly due to overuse. The highest reported prevalence was found for hip and groin-, lower back-, and shoulder injuries.

瑞典男女冰球精英的受伤模式 - 上赛季受伤情况的横向比较

主要结果测量根据奥斯陆运动创伤研究中心过度使用性伤害调查问卷的修订版报告的上赛季受伤情况。结果髋部/腹股沟[31.1%（112 人）]、腰部[24.2%（87 人）]和肩部[23.6%（85 人）]的季节性受伤率最高。男女受伤率大致相同。髋关节/胫骨（13.3% [n = 48]）和膝关节（18.6% [n = 67]）部位的严重损伤最为普遍。女性报告的髋部/腹股沟严重受伤的比例较高。除了髋关节/腓肠肌损伤和腰部损伤（74.4% 和 81.8% 因过度运动所致）外，大多数报告的损伤都是急性损伤。急性损伤最为常见，但髋部/腹股沟和腰部损伤主要是由于过度运动造成的。据报道，髋部和腹股沟、腰部和肩部受伤的发生率最高。
