Ice hockey injuries are a growing concern due to the sport's increasing popularity. This review analyzes injury biomechanics, epidemiology, and the impact of rule changes to understand and potentially reduce harm.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Ice hockey's global popularity is rising, particularly in North America and Europe.
  • Increased participation has led to heightened concerns regarding the frequency and severity of player injuries.
  • Understanding the forces and mechanisms inherent in ice hockey is crucial for injury prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the world literature on ice hockey biomechanics and physiology.
  • To evaluate the forces and injury mechanisms prevalent in the sport.
  • To examine how rule and equipment modifications influence injury patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive review of existing scientific literature on ice hockey.
  • Analysis of biomechanical and physiological studies related to the sport.
