    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Elite orienteers experience frequent injuries, with nearly equal rates of acute and overuse injuries. Ankle sprains are common acute injuries, while overuse affects the lower extremities, particularly during training.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Exercise Physiology
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Orienteering is a physically demanding sport.
    • Understanding injury patterns in elite athletes is crucial for prevention.
    • Previous research has not fully detailed injury types in elite orienteers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To prospectively identify and categorize injuries in elite orienteers.
    • To determine the incidence and types of acute and overuse injuries.
    • To correlate injury occurrence with training and competition periods.

    Main Methods:

    • A one-year prospective study.
    • Involved 42 elite orienteers.
    • Injury data collected and categorized.

    Main Results:

    • 73 injuries were recorded (1.7 per runner/year).
    • Acute injuries (52%) included ankle sprains (37%) and contusions.
    • Overuse injuries (48%) were primarily lower extremity, including medial shin pain and Achilles peritendinitis.
    • Acute injuries peaked during competition; overuse injuries during training.

    Conclusions:

    • Elite orienteers face a high injury burden.
    • Both acute trauma and overuse syndromes are significant concerns.
    • Injury patterns differ between training and competition phases, informing targeted prevention strategies.
