Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Quidditch, a mixed-gender, full-contact sport adapted from Harry Potter, is rapidly growing globally.
  • Understanding injury patterns is vital for player safety and the sport's development, especially in mixed-gender contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incidence, anatomical distribution, severity, and gender distribution of injuries in quidditch.
  • To establish baseline injury data for this emerging sport.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous questionnaire was distributed to active UK quidditch players.
  • Data collected included player demographics, injury type, mechanism, position, experience, and treatment over the past 12 months.

Main Results:

  • 348 players responded (50.87% rate), reporting 315 injuries among 180 athletes.
  • Overall injury incidence was 4.06 per 1,000 hours, similar to other recreational contact sports.
  • Female athletes sustained a statistically significantly higher rate of concussion compared to males (p=0.006).

Conclusions:

  • This study offers the first quantitative injury rate data for quidditch.
  • Overall injury rates are comparable to other recreational contact sports.
  • The higher concussion rate in female athletes warrants further investigation for improved safety protocols.
