Area of Science:

Sports Medicine
Epidemiology
Musculoskeletal Injuries

Background:

Disc golf participation is rapidly increasing globally.
Over two million individuals are estimated to play disc golf regularly.
The epidemiology of injuries in disc golf is underreported.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the prevalence of injuries in Danish disc golf players.
To determine the anatomical distribution of disc golf-related injuries.
To understand the characteristics of injuries sustained during disc golf.

Main Methods:

Cross-sectional study design.
Web-based questionnaire distributed via social media and at disc golf courses.
Descriptive analysis of collected data on disc golf participation and injuries.

Main Results:

An injury prevalence of 13.3% was reported among 105 participants.
The shoulder (31%) and elbow (20%) were the most common injury locations.
Most injuries (93%) had a gradual onset and a median duration of 240 days.

Conclusions:

Disc golf has a notable injury prevalence of 13.3%.
Shoulder and elbow injuries are most common in disc golf.
Injuries typically have a gradual onset and prolonged symptomatic duration.
