- A study was conducted on 679 elite Danish handball players aged 14-18 to assess the prevalence and impact of shoulder, knee, and ankle injuries over the past year and during the season.
- Nearly half (46%) reported prior injuries, with a weekly injury prevalence of 21% and an illness prevalence of 2%. The injury rate was calculated at 9.4 injuries per 1,000 hours played.
- Females experienced greater injury burden from knee injuries, while males were most affected by shoulder injuries; health professionals were consulted for most injuries, but players often made their own return-to-play decisions.
