Context: Overuse injuries are reported to account for nearly 50% of sports injuries and, due to their progressive nature and the uncertainty regarding date of onset, are difficult to define and categorize. Comparing the capture rates of overuse injuries between injury-surveillance systems and medical records can clarify completeness and determinants of how overuse injuries are represented in injury-surveillance data.
Objective: To estimate the capture rate of time-loss medical-attention overuse injuries in men's and women's soccer in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System (NCAA ISS) compared with medical records maintained by certified athletic trainers and assess the differences in completeness of capture and factors contributing to those differences.
Design: Capture-recapture study.
Setting: Fifteen NCAA institutions provided NCAA ISS and medical record data from men's and women's soccer programs from 2005-2006 through 2007-2008.
Patients Or Other Participants: National Collegiate Athletic Association men's and women's soccer players.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Time-loss medical-attention overuse injuries were defined as injuries with an overuse mechanism of injury in the NCAA ISS or medical records. Capture rates were calculated as the proportion of total overuse injuries classified as having overuse mechanisms in the NCAA ISS and the NCAA ISS and medical records combined.
Results: The NCAA ISS captured 63.7% of the total estimated overuse mechanisms of injury in men's and women's soccer players. The estimated proportion of overuse injury mechanisms captured by both the NCAA ISS and medical records was 37.1%. The NCAA ISS captured more overuse injury mechanisms in men's soccer than in women's soccer (79.2% versus 45.0%, χ = 9.60; P = .002) athletes.
Conclusions: From 2005-2006 through 2007-2008, the NCAA ISS captured only two thirds of time-loss medical-attention overuse mechanisms of injury in men's and women's soccer players. Future researchers should consider supplementing injury-surveillance data with a clinical record review to capture the burden of these injuries.

Epidemiology of Common Injuries in the Volleyball Athlete.
Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med
June 2023
Primary Sports Medicine, Hospital for Special Surgery, 535 E 70th St, NY, 10021, New York, USA.
Purpose Of Review: To review the recent literature regarding the epidemiology of injuries in the volleyball athlete across all levels of play and to discuss areas where further studies are needed.
Recent Findings: Injury epidemiology for volleyball at the collegiate and high school level has been supported by a longitudinal injury surveillance program through the NCAA Injury Surveillance System (NCAA ISS) and High School Reporting Information Online (HS RIO) for the past 30 years. The creation of the FIVB Injury Surveillance System (FIVB ISS) in 2010 shows promise in advancing the literature on the injury at the professional level, and further studies on beach volleyball injuries are needed.
Epidemiology of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury on Natural Grass Versus Artificial Turf in Soccer: 10-Year Data From the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System.
Orthop J Sports Med
July 2020
USC Epstein Family Center for Sports Medicine at Keck Medicine of USC, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is prevalent among National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) soccer players. Controversy remains regarding the effect of the surface type on the rate of ACL injury in soccer players, considering differences in sex, type of athletic exposure, and level of competition.
Hypothesis: Natural grass surfaces would be associated with decreased ACL injury rate in NCAA soccer players.
Hip and Groin Injuries in National Collegiate Athletic Association Women's Soccer Players.
Orthop J Sports Med
January 2020
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Background: Hip and groin injuries are common in competitive soccer players and have been shown to be significant sources of time loss. There are few studies describing the epidemiology of hip and groin injuries in female National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) soccer players.
Purpose: To describe the epidemiology of hip and groin injuries in women's collegiate soccer players.
10-Year Epidemiology of Ankle Injuries in Men's and Women's Collegiate Basketball.
Orthop J Sports Med
November 2018
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Background: Ankle injury is the most common injury in men's and women's basketball, regardless of the level of competition.
Purpose: To use the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Injury Surveillance Program/System (ISP/ISS) to review the 10-year epidemiology of ankle injuries in men's and women's collegiate basketball players.
Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study.
Context: Overuse injuries are reported to account for nearly 50% of sports injuries and, due to their progressive nature and the uncertainty regarding date of onset, are difficult to define and categorize. Comparing the capture rates of overuse injuries between injury-surveillance systems and medical records can clarify completeness and determinants of how overuse injuries are represented in injury-surveillance data.
