ENgLISH SUMMArY
introduction: Sport participation has increased during the past few
decades, with accompanying rise in sport injuries. The purpose of this
study was to assess the prevalence of sport injuries, and drop-out due
to them along with possible risk factors (hours of sports participation,
sex, age, aerobic fitness and body composition).
Material and methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional design was
used and the 457 participants were 17 and 23 years old. Height, weight,
body fat, lean soft tissue, bone mass, and aerobic fitness (W/kg)
were measured. Participation in sports and physical training, and the
prevalence of sport injuries and drop-out were estimated using ques-
tionnaires.
Results: Four hundred and forty participants (96%) had at some time
point participated in organized sports, but 277 (63%) were no longer
practicing, more commonly (p=0.058) among girls (67.6%) than boys
(58.8%). Thirty-seven (8.4%) dropped-out due to sport injuries. of those
participating in organized sports for the past 12 months, 51% required
medical assistance at least once because of sport injuries. Multiple reg-
ression analysis revealed 5-fold increased risk for requiring medical ass-
istance among those practicing more than 6 hours per week compared
to those who practiced 6 hours or less (oR = 5.30, 95% CI: 3.00 to 9.42).
Conclusion: youth sport injuries are a significant problem that can
cause drop-out from participation in sport. More research is needed to
better understand the impact of risk factors in order to promote preven-
tion and ensure evidence-based training.
