SUMMARY
Background. This study aimed to investigate the trend of injuries occurring during judo competition reported by matside healthcare professionals. Seventeen judo competitions were investigated.
Methods. Injury data (severity, location, type and emergency transportation to medical institution) were recorded on-site using a simple injury reporting form with sex, age and weight category. A total of 420 injuries were recorded.
Results. The overall injury incidence rate per 1,000 athlete-exposures (IIRAE) was 22.7. The occurrence of minor injuries was four times than that of major injuries, and most minor injuries were to the soft tissue (bleeding). Sprain was the most frequent major injury followed by concussion. The IIRAE of minor injury in males was almost twice as high as in females; the highest IIRAE of minor injuries were recorded in college and over-age category. In major injury, the IIRAE of middleweight was higher than other weight categories. The most common injury requiring emergency transportation was concussion. The frequencies and characteristics between minor and major injuries were different. The most common minor injury was bleeding, and major injury was sprain.
Conclusions. To properly respond to injured athletes during a bout, matside healthcare professionals need to undergo training and learn the knowledge of judo-related injuries.
