Investigation And Analysis Of Injuries And Diseases Of National Teams Of Winter Events In 2018-2019 Season

Abstract

PURPOSE: By summarizing and analyzing the occurrence and injuries of athletes in the national training team of the 2018-2019 winter season, to understand the main injury problems of athletes, and to provide a scientific reference for athletes' injury prevention and disease prevention. METHODS: By recording 928 injuries of winter sports (including figure skating, aerials, snowmobile sled, snowboarding, ski jumping, ski jumping, biathlon, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and ice hockey) in training and competitions in the 2018-2019 season, organizing, summarizing and analyzing the epidemiological results of winter events. RESULTS: 1) Gender distribution: In this season, male injuries accounted for 50.9%, and females accounted for 49.1%. Male and female athletes had similar injuries. 2) Injury parts: The vulnerable parts are the knee (25.09%), waist (15.51%), ankle (9.39%), and thigh (8.84%). Among them, the knee joint injuries are mostly knee patellar tendinitis, pes anserinus tendinitis, knee fat pad inflammation, and sprains. Lumbar injuries are mostly muscle strain, and lumbar disc herniation; ankle joint injuries are mostly sprained; thigh injuries are mostly thigh muscle strain. 3) Injury types: The most common types of injuries are muscles (40.58%), ligaments (18.3%), and tendons (13.4%). Muscle and tendon injuries are mostly concentrated around the knee joint and waist; ligament injuries are more common at the ankle and wrist joints. CONCLUSIONS: The injury probability of male and female athletes in the winter event is the same. The lower limbs are mostly in common, and muscles, tendons, and ligaments have been easily injured. Analyzing injury mechanisms in high-risk Olympic winter sports are essential to better direct injury-prevention strategies.
