Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to provide information on the training profile and characteristics of injuries sustained by obstacle course racing competitors.

Methods: This research is a nationwide cross-sectional, self-administered online survey conducted in 2023.

Results: We analyzed the data collected from 201 obstacle course racing participants (mean age: 33.8 ± 7.1 years; 60.7% men). On average, athletes had 2.9 ± 2.4 years of obstacle course racing experience and participated in approximately four races in the previous year. Most of these races covered distances of 5-10 km (65.2%). Among the participants, 28.4% reported injuries, with the upper extremities being the most frequently affected. Approximately 19% of these injuries required medical supervision, and 2% led to hospitalization.

Conclusion: Injury risk in obstacle course racing participants was associated with participation in a higher number of obstacle course racing competitions, reduced time between these competitions and having performed specific obstacle training.

西班牙障碍赛参赛者的训练概况、运动习惯和受伤特征：横断面研究。

研究目的本研究旨在提供有关障碍赛选手的训练概况和受伤特点的信息：本研究是一项于 2023 年开展的全国性横断面自填式在线调查：我们分析了从 201 名障碍赛参赛者（平均年龄：33.8 ± 7.1 岁；60.7% 为男性）处收集的数据。运动员平均有 2.9 ± 2.4 年的障碍赛经验，在过去一年中参加了大约四场比赛。其中大部分比赛的距离为 5-10 公里（65.2%）。在参赛者中，28.4%的人报告受伤，其中上肢受伤最为常见。其中约 19% 的受伤者需要接受医疗监护，2% 的受伤者需要住院治疗：障碍赛参赛者受伤的风险与参加障碍赛比赛次数较多、比赛间隔时间较短以及进行过专门的障碍训练有关。

期刊介绍： The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-reviewed, clinically oriented publication for primary care physicians. We examine the latest drug discoveries to advance treatment and recovery, and take into account the medical aspects of exercise therapy for a given condition. We cover the latest primary care-focused treatments serving the needs of our active patient population, and assess the limits these treatments govern in stabilization and recovery. The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid primary care physicians’ advancement in methods of care and treatment. We routinely cover such topics as: managing chronic disease, surgical techniques in preventing and managing injuries, the latest advancements in treatments for helping patients lose weight, and related exercise and nutrition topics that can impact the patient during recovery and modification.
