Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Speed skating is a sport in which there´s a lack of epidemiological studies. In line with the well-established model of sports injury prevention research proffered by van Mechelen, the first stage in this process is establishing the extent of the problem i.e. injury incidence, severity and burden. Through an online survey filled by semiprofessional athletes, it is posible to obtain all this important information. This way, it will be possible to fulfill a gap in the literature and take action in the near future in order to reduce the prevalence of injuries in this sport.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    A retrospective study will be performed in speed skaters. 100 speed skaters will be recruited. Data of all injury along a whole season will be collected. Patients' information, including age, number of years playing, skill level and injured body part, will be analysed

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. 1.Injury prevalence [[Time Frame: January 2018-December 2018]]

      Injury prevalence rates [Injury prevalence rates calculated per 1000 hours of play]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Injury burden [[Time Frame: January 2018-December 2018]]

      Days lost per 1000 hours of exposure

    2. Injury prevalence according to occurrence [[Time Frame: January 2018-December 2018]]

      Number of injuries sustained during training/ Number of injuries sustained during a match (% of all)

    3. Injury prevalence by mechanism of injury [[Time Frame: January 2018-December 2018]]

      Number of injuries according to the mechanism of injury (Contact (Direct or indirect) or Non-Contact) (% of all)

    4. Injury prevalence according to location [[Time Frame: January 2018-December 2018]]

      Distribution of injuries according to location of the injury (on the body, % of all)

    5. Injury prevalence according to tissue affected [[Time Frame: January 2018-December 2018]]

      Description of the distribution of injuries according to the type of the injury (muscle only) (% of all)
