Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Due to the high intensity and speed of cycling, a high technical and tactical level, physical quality, and psychological quality are required of athletes. Meniscal injuries are common in cyclists. In particular, chronic meniscal injuries are usually caused by an accumulation of fatigue or untimely and incomplete treatment of acute sports injuries. Objective: Analyze the protective factors and methods for meniscal injuries in cyclists. Methods: Volunteer male cyclists were selected for a questionnaire that investigated the athletes’ meniscal injuries. The data collected were statistically analyzed. Results: There were 6 cases of right knee meniscus injury in athletes; these data accounted for 75% of the injuries. Left meniscus injuries accounted for 2 cases. There was one case of medial injury in both knees. The corresponding preventive measures are presented according to the cause of the injury. Conclusion: Causes of meniscal injuries in cyclists include insufficient knee strength, inadequate training methods, physical fatigue, and long-term localized effort. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
