Abstract

This study investigates the longitudinal patterns of musculoskeletal injuries in an NCAA field hockey team, emphasizing the predictive value of index injuries on subsequent injury rates. Analyzing a dataset from a women's collegiate field hockey team, this research monitored 810 injuries across 124 athletes from 2008 to 2024. The study categorized injuries as local, nonlocal, and recurrent, employing a negative binomial regression to assess the impact of index injuries on the total number of career injuries. Results indicated that ankle sprains, hamstring strains, and back strains significantly predicted the total number of career injuries. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that the majority of subsequent injuries occurred within 69 days of the index injury, suggesting a critical window for targeted interventions. The findings underscore the need for robust longitudinal data and standardized reporting to enhance injury prevention strategies in field hockey.

大学女子曲棍球运动员后续肌肉骨骼损伤的纵向分析及指数损伤的预测价值。

本研究调查了NCAA曲棍球队肌肉骨骼损伤的纵向模式，强调指数损伤对后续损伤率的预测价值。该研究分析了女子大学曲棍球队的数据集，监测了124名运动员在2008年至2024年期间的810次伤病。该研究将损伤分为局部损伤、非局部损伤和复发性损伤，采用负二项回归来评估指数损伤对职业伤害总数的影响。结果表明，踝关节扭伤、腿筋拉伤和背部拉伤对职业生涯损伤总数有显著的预测作用。此外，分析显示，大多数后续损伤发生在指数损伤后的69天内，这表明有针对性干预的关键窗口期。研究结果强调需要健全的纵向数据和标准化的报告，以加强曲棍球伤害预防策略。
