Rugby sevens players aged 14-24 experience the most injuries in the ankle and knee. Older players and females face higher risks, highlighting the need for targeted injury prevention strategies in competitive rugby sevens.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Injury Prevention

Background:

  • Rugby sevens is growing in China, but injury research is limited.
  • Understanding injury patterns is key for effective prevention strategies.
  • This study addresses the lack of data on rugby sevens injuries in China.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the distribution and incidence of training-related rugby sevens injuries.
  • To examine injury patterns based on player age and gender.
  • To provide data for targeted injury prevention in rugby sevens.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional retrospective study using self-reported questionnaires.
  • Recruited 414 competitive rugby sevens players aged 14-24.
  • Defined injuries as those causing training time loss or requiring medical care.

Main Results:

  • Ankle (20.1%) and knee (18.7%) were the most common injury sites.
  • Overall injury rate was 0.80 per 1000 training hours.
  • Players over 18 and females had significantly higher injury rates compared to younger players and males, respectively.

Conclusions:

  • Lower-limb injuries, particularly to the ankle and knee, are prevalent in young elite rugby sevens players.
  • Older players (>18 years) and female athletes exhibit increased injury risk.
  • Findings offer crucial epidemiological data for developing age- and gender-specific injury prevention programs in rugby sevens.
