Abstract

Background: While a high incidence of pickleball-related falls is reported, little is known regarding factors differentiating persons with and without a fall history during play.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine differences between recreational pickleball players who fell while playing and those who did not. Additional aims were to determine reasons for falling and to investigate associations among assessed factors.

Study design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: Participants completed a survey reporting age, fall history, and reasons for falling during play. Hip abduction strength, single leg squat form, ankle dorsiflexion, and change of direction time using a modified T-test on a pickleball court (i.e. pickleball T-test) were assessed.

Results: Among the 92 individuals participating in the study, 42% reported a fall while playing and 30% reported falling more than once. Leading reasons for reported falls were lunging and moving backward. Participants who reported falling were significantly older (z = -2.60, p = 0.009) and slower on the pickleball T-test (z = -2.10, p = 0.036) than those who did not report falling. Hip abduction strength was not associated with fall history but was associated with faster time on the pickleball T-test (left rs = -.41, p < 0.001, right rs = -.48, p < 0.001). Single leg squat form and dorsiflexion were not related to fall history.

Conclusion: Falls are common among recreational pickleball players, particularly older players. Fall prevention programs for pickleball players should be considered including multi-directional lunging, lower extremity strength and power development, and change of direction training that includes moving backward.

Level of evidence: 2.

休闲皮球运动员的髋部力量、方向变化和跌倒。
背景:目的:本研究旨在确定在打球时摔倒和没有摔倒的休闲皮球运动员之间的差异。研究设计:横断面研究:研究设计:横断面研究:参与者填写一份调查问卷,报告年龄、跌倒史和在打球时跌倒的原因。评估内容包括髋关节外展力量、单腿下蹲姿势、踝关节外展以及在皮球场上使用改良 T 测试(即皮球 T 测试)改变方向的时间:在参与研究的 92 人中,42% 的人报告在打球时摔倒过,30% 的人报告摔倒过不止一次。摔倒的主要原因是猛冲和向后移动。与未报告摔倒的参与者相比,报告摔倒的参与者年龄明显偏大(z = -2.60,p = 0.009),在皮球 T 测试中速度明显偏慢(z = -2.10,p = 0.036)。髋关节外展力量与跌倒史无关,但与皮球 T 测试时间的快慢有关(左侧 rs = -.41, p < 0.001,右侧 rs = -.48, p < 0.001)。单腿下蹲姿势和背屈与跌倒史无关:结论:摔倒在休闲皮球运动员中很常见,尤其是老年运动员。应考虑为挑球运动员制定跌倒预防计划,包括多方向的肺活量、下肢力量和力量发展,以及包括向后移动在内的改变方向训练。
