Handball injuries affect 421 players, with distortions and contusions being common. Improved training, first aid, and rule changes are recommended to prevent handball-related injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Handball is a dynamic sport with a high incidence of player injuries.
  • Understanding injury patterns is crucial for player safety and performance.
  • This study analyzes injury data from a large cohort of handball players.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the epidemiology of handball-related injuries.
  • To identify common injury types, mechanisms, and affected body parts.
  • To evaluate the role of training, technical conditions, and protective equipment in injury occurrence.

Summary:

  • 421 handball players were studied, revealing that 2/3 of injured players were female and half were younger athletes, though seniors had the highest incidence.
  • Distortions, contusions, and fractures were common, with upper limbs and ankle joints frequently affected. Serious injuries included knee ligament ruptures.
