Article Synopsis
- * Conducted between April 2012 and March 2013, the research involved 133 national-level badminton players, calculating injury rates per 1,000 exposures and examining various factors like severity and type.
- * Results showed significant injury rates in specific areas: female university students had high incidents in the racket-side shoulder, high school girls in the racket-side thigh, and males across all school ages and junior high girls in the lumbar spine/lower back, indicating a need for targeted prevention strategies.
Background: Injury prevention programs have recently been created for various sports. However, a longitudinal study on badminton injuries, as assessed by a team's dedicated medical staff, at the gymnasium has not been performed.
Objectives: We aimed to perform the first such study to measure the injury incidence, severity and type as the first step in creating a badminton injury prevention program.
