OBJECTIVETo systematically review hip and groin injury (HGI) incidence, burden, prevalence and the proportion of HGI relative to all injuries in competitive sports. A secondary aim was to determine the impact of potential effect moderators on the incidence of HGI in athletes.DESIGNSystematic review and meta-analysis.DATA SOURCESMEDLINE, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PEDro, Embase and Scopus.ELIGIBILITY CRITERIAProspective studies reporting a minimum of one epidemiological measure: HGI injury incidence, burden, prevalence or proportion of all injuries. Reporting quality was assessed using the checklist of issues that should be included in reports of football injury studies.RESULTS71 studies (85% football studies) comprising 5914 injuries across 9 441 381 exposure hours were included. HGI incidence was 0.71/1000 hours, accounting for 11% of all injuries, with 6% affecting the hip adductors (0.41/1000 hours). Injury burden was 11.5 days per 1000 hours, while seasonal prevalence was 19%. HGI incidence rate increased with higher average cohort age (p=0.046). The incidence rate was 1.8 times higher in male compared with female athletes (95% CI 1.25 to 2.7, p=0.004), and 6.5 times higher during matches compared with training sessions (95% CI 3.9 to 10.9, p<0.001). Injury incidence was not significantly moderated by average cohort height (p=0.87), body mass (p=0.52), body mass index (p=0.58), year of data collection (p=0.13) or playing level (p=0.89).CONCLUSIONSThe incidence of HGI is 0.7 per 1000 hours of exposure, comprising 11% of all sporting injuries. Incidence rates increase with older age, and males are at higher risk of injury compared with females. The high proportion of HGI warrants efforts to reduce the occurrence of groin injuries in sport.PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBERCRD42024573833.
目的系统回顾竞技体育中髋关节和腹股沟损伤(HGI)的发生率、负担、患病率及其在所有损伤中的比例。第二个目的是确定潜在效应调节剂对运动员HGI发病率的影响。设计系统回顾和荟萃分析。数据来源medline, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PEDro, Embase和Scopus。入选标准:前瞻性研究报告至少一项流行病学指标:HGI损伤发生率、负担、患病率或所有损伤的比例。报告质量评估使用问题清单,应包括在足球损伤研究报告。结果纳入了71项研究(85%为足球研究),涉及9,441,381个暴露小时的5914例损伤。HGI发生率为0.71/1000小时,占所有损伤的11%,其中6%影响髋内收肌(0.41/1000小时)。伤害负荷为11.5天/ 1000小时,季节性患病率为19%。HGI发病率随平均队列年龄的增加而增加(p=0.046)。男性运动员的发病率是女性运动员的1.8倍(95% CI 1.25 - 2.7, p=0.004),比赛期间的发病率是训练期间的6.5倍(95% CI 3.9 - 10.9, p<0.001)。平均身高(p=0.87)、体重(p=0.52)、体重指数(p=0.58)、数据收集年份(p=0.13)或运动水平(p=0.89)均未显著降低损伤发生率。结论HGI发生率为0.7 / 1000小时,占所有运动损伤的11%。发病率随着年龄的增长而增加,与女性相比,男性受伤的风险更高。高比例的HGI需要努力减少运动中腹股沟损伤的发生。普洛斯彼罗注册号crd42024573833。

OBJECTIVESTo explore the injury-inciting situational characteristics of indirect and non-contact muscle injuries in sports, commonly referred to as muscle strains; and to investigate differences and similarities of injury patterns across muscle groups.DATA SOURCESPubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus and Google Scholar.ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING STUDIESStudies investigating injury-inciting situational characteristics (among others, injury contact mechanisms, joint positions, movement directions) of indirect and non-contact muscle injuries in sports through video recordings.RESULTSTwenty-one studies reporting the injury-inciting situational characteristics of 728 indirect and non-contact muscle injuries were included. Non-contact mechanisms were more common (74%) than indirect contact mechanisms (26%). Most injuries were either running-related or occurred during sport-specific manoeuvres involving muscle-tendon unit length changes under active muscle contraction. For hamstring injuries, the most frequently reported injury kinematics comprised a knee joint position close to extension (underlying movement direction: flexion to extension) and a flexed hip joint position (underlying movement direction: variable). For adductor injuries, injury kinematics were characterised by rapid muscle lengthening due to hip extension, abduction and external rotation. For rectus femoris injuries, the observed injury kinematic comprised a flexing hip joint movement and extending knee joint movement. For calf injuries, the typical injury pattern comprised an ankle dorsiflexion movement with the knee being close to extension and the ankle in >10° dorsiflexion at the assumed injury time.CONCLUSIONThis systematic review found distinct, identifiable injury patterns for indirect and non-contact muscle injuries. While similar situational characteristics were identified across injuries, some patterns were more specific to particular injury locations and sports.PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBERPROSPERO registration number CRD42023472252.
目的探讨运动中间接和非接触性肌肉损伤(通常称为肌肉劳损)的致伤情境特征;并研究不同肌肉群损伤模式的异同。数据来源pubmed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus和b谷歌Scholar。选择研究的资格标准通过录像调查运动中间接和非接触性肌肉损伤的致伤情境特征(其中包括损伤接触机制、关节位置、运动方向)。结果共纳入21篇报道728例间接和非接触性肌肉损伤致伤情景特征的研究。非接触机制(74%)比间接接触机制(26%)更常见。大多数损伤要么与跑步有关,要么发生在运动特定的运动中,涉及主动肌肉收缩下肌肉肌腱单位长度的变化。对于腘绳肌损伤,最常报道的损伤运动学包括膝关节位置接近伸展(潜在的运动方向:屈曲到伸展)和髋关节位置屈曲(潜在的运动方向:可变)。对于内收肌损伤,损伤的运动学特征是由于髋关节伸展、外展和外旋导致肌肉快速延长。对于股直肌损伤,观察到的运动学损伤包括髋关节屈曲运动和膝关节伸展运动。对于小腿损伤,典型的损伤模式包括踝关节背屈运动,膝关节接近伸展,踝关节在假定的损伤时间处于10°背屈。结论:本系统综述发现了间接和非接触性肌肉损伤的独特、可识别的损伤模式。虽然在不同的损伤中发现了相似的情境特征,但有些模式更具体于特定的损伤位置和运动。普洛斯彼罗注册号普洛斯彼罗注册号CRD42023472252。
