ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Sport injury severity can be detected by duration of time loss and reduction of sporting performance.AIM:
To detect injury type-specific time loss duration and sporting performance reduction in judo.METHODS:
An online survey of active and former judo athletes was conducted (exclusion criterion incomplete questionnaire). Only injuries causing more than 3 weeks' time loss were recorded. Athletes classified themselves into performance classes. Injury type-specific frequencies were recorded according to gender, age and performance level. Injury severity was assessed by time loss duration and performance reduction.RESULTS:
The study included 4659 athletes (65% male, 38% competitive sports). The most commonly injured body regions were the upper extremity (41%) and the lower extremity (39%). Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures were the most severe injury type (time loss 4% of cases 3-6 weeks, 6% 6-12 weeks, 26% 3-6 months, 32% 6-9 months, 18% 9-12 months, 14%>12 months; performance reduction 32% same level, 39% slightly reduced, 24% strongly reduced, 5% stopped judo). The second most severe type of injury was a vertebral disc prolapse (time loss 26% 3-6 weeks, 31% 6-12 weeks, 20% 3-6 months, 7% 6-9 months, 3% 9-12 months 13%>12 months; reduction of sporting performance 39% same level, 34% slightly reduced, 20% strongly reduced, 8% stopped judo).CONCLUSION:
Across genders and performance levels, ACL ruptures and vertebral disc prolapses were the most severe injuries with respect to time loss and sporting performance reduction.Palabras clave
