ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

The purpose of this study is to identify the nature, spectrum and frequency of injuries among national netballers in Jamaica.

METHODS:

A retrospective study utilizing a questionnaire was used to gather the necessary information among netball players over a five-year period spanning two world cups. A 31-item questionnaire on player's profile, protective equipment, site of injury and associated factors of injury was completed by a study population recruited from players who had represented Jamaica at the senior level, under 21 or under 16 age groups between 2003 and 2007. Statistical analysis was done using the SPSS version 12.

RESULTS:

Most of the injuries were confined to the ankle and knee, with the playing surface and poor landing technique the main reasons for the injuries.

CONCLUSIONS:

There are wide variations in training, players' fitness, levels of coaching and the standards of playing courts, all of which might have contributed to players' injuries.
RESUMEN

OBJETIVOS:

El propósito de este studio es identificar la natural, el espectro y la frecuencia de las heridas entre los voleibolistas nacionales de Jamaica.

MÉTODOS:

Por medio de un cuestionario, se realizó un estudio retrospectivo entre los jugadores de voleibol a fin de obtener la información necesaria, el cual cubrió un período de cinco años. Un cuestionario de 31 items sobre el perfil del jugador, el equipo de protección, el lugar de la herida y los factors asociados con la herida, fue respondido por una población de estudio, reclutada de jugadores que habían representado a Jamaica en la categoría de mayores, correspondiente a los grupos de menos de 21 años y menos de 16 años de edad. El análisis estadístico se realizó usando la versión 12 del SPSS.

RESULTADOS:

La mayoría de las heridas estuvieron confinadas al tobillo y las rodillas, siendo la superficie del terreno de juego y la pobre técnica de aterrizaje, las razones principales de las heridas.

CONCLUSIONES:

Existe una amplia gama de variaciones en el entrenamiento, el estar en forma (fitness), los niveles de coaching, y las normas de las canchas de juego, todas las cuales pudieron haber contribuido a que los jugadores sufrieran heridas.
