This study aimed firstly to identify the efficiency of short track-related sports injury prevention program on the non-contact sports injury incidence, and secondly to assess the characteristics of subjective symptoms from sports injuries in ankle, knee joints and low back. Twenty-five short track skaters participated in this study from Nov. 2017 to Jul. 2018. Information on their non-contact injuries developed during the period were collected and injury prevention program which consisted of 8 different exercises developed based on the short track skating motion focusing on muscle strength and neuromuscular training was implemented in their daily warm-up exercise sessions and competitions. (Fig 1) The main outcome measures were the change in incidence rate which was expressed as the number of injuries caused by athletes participating in 1000 h of exposure in short track training and competitions using the formula; [(total number of injuries occurred / total time of participation) × 1000]. Post-intervention interview using a questionnaire (7 questions with a 5-point Likert Scale), OSTRC Overuse Injury Questionnaire for a low back and knee joint, and Cumberland ankle instability tool for ankle joint were also measured for subjective symptoms. The post-intervention incidence rate was 2.79 injuries/1,000 h, which was lower than pre-intervention incidence rate (3.04 injuries/1,000 h). (Fig 2) The changes in subjective symptom levels were significantly reduced in all three measures (Table 1) In conclusion, implementation of specific injury prevention program exerted beneficial influence on the non-contact sports injury incidence as well as skaters's subjective symptoms suffering from various sports injuries. |
