Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Higher sport specialization in male surfers increases injury risk. However, a strong self-concept of technical skills may reduce the likelihood of sports injuries, regardless of performance level.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Surfing Biomechanics

Background:

  • Sport specialization is a growing trend in many athletic disciplines.
  • Understanding factors influencing injury risk is crucial for athlete safety.
  • Surfing involves complex technical skills and unique environmental challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between sport specialization and injury risk in male surfers.
  • To analyze how the level of technical skills influences injury incidence in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive epidemiological study design was employed.
  • Web-based surveys were utilized to collect data from participants.
  • 295 male surfers (25 competitive, 270 recreational) provided injury information from the past year.

Main Results:

  • No significant association was found between performance level and injury occurrence.
  • A higher degree of sport specialization correlated with an increased likelihood of sports-related injuries (p=0.005).
  • Surfers with a medium-high self-concept of their technical skills reported fewer injuries (p<0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Increased sport specialization in surfing is linked to a higher incidence of injuries.
  • A positive self-perception of technical skills may act as a protective factor against surfing injuries.
