INTRODUCTION. Musculoskeletal
injuries as an unfavorable consequence of sport can be lead to of
decreasing physical activities, increasing medical costs and disturbing
of daily activities. OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was
investigated the injury rate (number of injuries/ time in 1000) and
incidence (number of injuries/ number of subjects in 1000) of sports
injuries in P.E students in related to frequency and type of their
sport class, competitions and recreational activities of
them.
Methods. In a longitudinal follow up study
72 P.E student include male (n=28, age 21.64±2.59) and
female (n=43, age 20.26 ±1.33) during 3.5 year period (7
semesters) were examined. All injuries of the subjects were recorded at
the end of each semester .Friedman test was used to analyzed the data
(P≤.05).
RESULTS. 574 injuries were recorded
(285 injury for
male and 289 injury for female). Incidence exposure of injuries was
832.12 in sport classes, 328.56 in competitions and 612.24 in
recreational activities. Also the rate exposure was 282.67 in sport
class and 187.49 in recreational sport activities. In a total the lower
extremity with 45.4% (3.69±17.4 injury per each subject),
the upper extremity with 32.2 %( 2.68±2.58 per each
subject), the trunk with12.5% (.86±1.33 per each subject)
and the head, face and other segments with 9.9% (.94±2.76
per each subject) showed most injuries. Importantly, most frequent
injuries were showed in gymnastic class for females and in soccer class
for males. There is significant difference between rate and type of
injury and type of sport class (P≤.05).
CONCLUSIONS.
It can be concluded that high incidence and the varieties of sport
injuries in related to some specific sport classes and risk factors
emphasize on modifying of teaching style and educational program of P.E
students
