Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Epidemiology of Sports Injuries

Context:

  • Retrospective analysis of 322 field hockey players.
  • Evaluation of injury frequency and mechanisms.

Purpose:

  • To identify common injury types in field hockey.
  • To determine risk factors associated with injuries.
  • To inform preventive strategies.

Summary:

  • Athletes average 0.6 (female) to 1.0 (male) injuries per season, predominantly minor lesions.
  • Severe injuries are linked to playing surfaces, with astroturf noted as particularly hazardous.
  • Match play carries a tenfold higher injury risk than practice.
  • Typical injuries result from ball or stick contact (36%).
  • Lower limb injuries constitute 62% of all lesions, followed by upper limb (19%) and head/trunk (19%).

Impact:

  • Provides data for targeted injury prevention programs in field hockey.
  • Highlights the need for safer playing surfaces and game management strategies.
  • Contributes to understanding sports injury epidemiology for both male and female athletes.
