Abstract
Objectives: To report the injury epidemiology of the Great Britain's (GB) men's basketball team games and training over a 6-season period.
Methods: Non-time loss (NTL) and time-loss (TL) injuries were recorded throughout 14 international windows (2018-2024). Exposure (player-hours) was recorded for team training and games. NTL and TL injury incidence is presented per 1000 player-hours (p/1000 h; 95% CI) for training, games and overall exposure. TL severity (days-lost) and burden (days-lost/1000 h; 95% CI) was calculated, with incidence rate ratios (IRR, 95% CI) comparing game and training incidence for each definition.
Results: Throughout the study period, 113 injuries were recorded, of which 65 were GB related (43 NTL and 22 TL). Game injury incidence was significantly greater than training for TL (96/1000 h; 95% CI 33-159 versus 6/1000 h; 95% CI 2-9; IRR = 17; 95% CI 7-44) and NTL (75/1000 h; 95% CI 10-131 versus 7/1000 h; 95% CI 3-11; IRR = 11; 95% CI 4-28) injury definitions. Overall, most TL injuries occurred at the ankle (36%, 5/1000 h; 95% CI 2-9) and NTL injuries at the knee (19%, 5/1000 h; 95% CI 2-9). 31 overuse injuries were recorded, with 25% lower limb tendinopathies. TL injury severity ranged from 1 to 30 days, with injury burden for games (675/1000 h; 95% CI 234-1116) greater than training (48/1000 h; 95% CI 55-133).
Conclusion: The reported game injury incidence is high, with a large prevalence of NTL injuries. Lower limb injuries were most common, particularly overuse knee injuries. Preventative strategies need to be specific in the international basketball context, where camps are short but intense in duration.
目的：报道英国男篮6个赛季比赛和训练的损伤流行病学。方法：在2018-2024年的14个国际窗口记录非时间损失（NTL）和时间损失（TL）损伤。记录团队训练和比赛的暴露时间（玩家小时数）。NTL和TL损伤发生率为每1000个球员小时(p/1000小时；95% CI)，包括训练、游戏和整体暴露。TL严重程度（损失天数）和负荷（损失天数/1000 h）；计算95% CI)，并使用发生率比（IRR, 95% CI）比较每个定义的游戏和训练发生率。结果：研究期间共发生113例损伤，其中GB相关损伤65例（NTL 43例，TL 22例）。游戏损伤发生率显著高于TL训练(96/1000 h；95% CI 33-159相对于6/1000小时；95% ci 2-9；irr = 17；95% CI 7-44)和NTL (75/1000 h；95% CI 10-131 vs 7/1000 h；95% ci 3-11；irr = 11；95% CI（4-28）损伤定义。总体而言，大多数TL损伤发生在踝关节(36%,5/1000 h；95% CI 2-9)和膝关节NTL损伤(19%,5/1000 h；95% ci 2-9)。31例发生过劳伤，下肢肌腱病变占25%。TL损伤严重程度从1-30天不等，比赛损伤负荷为675/1000 h；95% CI 234-1116)大于训练(48/1000小时；95% ci 55-133)。结论：游戏损伤发生率高，NTL损伤发生率高。下肢损伤最为常见，尤其是过度使用的膝关节损伤。在国际篮球的背景下，预防策略需要具体化，因为训练营时间短，但持续时间长。
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.
