Abstract

Abstract Health, injury, and pain within the social contexts of sports remain relevant. Sociologists have repeatedly pointed out a set of factors that shape the sociocultural background of sports and aim to normalize the high risk of injury, pain, and negative impacts on health. The literature contains inspiring studies with valuable guidelines for conceptualizing this issue. Some researchers have focused on the social factors shaping athletes’ experiences with health-related risks and have proven that it is possible to oppose the deeply rooted “culture of risk.” The fact that most studies on the subject involve men’s sports increases the importance of those that address health-related risks in women’s sports. The literature includes few works concerning the sociocultural contexts of injury, pain, or health issues in handball. The aim of this study was to learn about the opinions and experiences of professional female handball players related to health in their discipline. Three main directions of research were followed: 1) health as a value; 2) significance of injury and pain; and 3) effect of health-related risks on a career in sports. The data were collected before the COVID-19 pandemic. The results do not reflect the opinions or experiences of the participants during the period of heightened epidemiological risk. The sample comprised female athletes (n=52) who participated in the Polish First League of women’s handball and represented the highest competitive level in their category in Poland.

“带伤打球”:女子手球职业生涯中与健康有关的方面

在体育运动的社会背景下，健康、伤害和疼痛仍然是相关的。社会学家一再指出，形成体育社会文化背景的一系列因素，旨在使受伤、疼痛和对健康的负面影响的高风险正常化。文献中包含鼓舞人心的研究，为概念化这个问题提供了有价值的指导方针。一些研究人员关注影响运动员健康风险经历的社会因素，并证明反对根深蒂固的“风险文化”是可能的。关于这一问题的大多数研究都涉及男子运动，这一事实增加了处理妇女运动中与健康有关的风险的研究的重要性。文献包括一些关于手球损伤，疼痛或健康问题的社会文化背景的作品。摘要本研究旨在了解职业女子手球运动员对所属专业健康的看法与经验。主要有三个研究方向:1)健康价值;2)损伤与疼痛的意义;3)健康相关风险对体育职业生涯的影响。这些数据是在COVID-19大流行之前收集的。结果不反映在流行病学风险升高期间参与者的意见或经验。样本包括参加波兰第一女子手球联赛的女运动员(n=52)，代表了波兰该类别中最高的竞争水平。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
