Dear Georg,

I found some materials which deal directly with this subject.

I hope this helps.

Hello Georg, some numbers below- as you can see they vary greatly...

In veteran soccer players: “The incidence of training injuries (4.5 per 1000 hours) was significantly lower than of match injuries (24.7 per 1000 hours).” 

Ref: Hammes D, Aus Der Fünten K, Kaiser S, Frisen E, Dvorák J, Meyer T.Injuries of veteran football (soccer) players in Germany. Res Sports Med. 2015;23(2):215-26. doi: 10.1080/15438627.2015.1005295.

In Rugby: “The overall medical attendance incidence was 229 per 1000 player-match hours (95% CI, 226-232).” Ref: Roberts SP, Trewartha G, England M, Stokes KA.Incidence and Nature of Medical Attendance Injuries in English Community Rugby Union. Orthop J Sports Med. 2014 Dec 19;2(12):2325967114562781. doi: 10.1177/2325967114562781.

In children: “The medically treated, injury incidence rate was reported to be between 0.15 and 0.27 injuries per 1 000 h of physical activity”. Ref: Nauta J, Martin-Diener E, Martin BW, van Mechelen W, Verhagen E. Injury risk during different physical activity behaviours in children: a systematic review with bias assessment. Sports Med. 2015 Mar;45(3):327-36. doi: 10.1007/s40279-014-0289-0.

Hope this helps,

I enclose a link to my paper in the BMJ of a patient with chronic low back pain and leg pain due to multiple sports.  My next paper will deal with cumulative trauma due to sports

Thanks a lot for all the answers. Will check these references. Cheers Georg

Hi, George! As you've already had some great resources listed, as you narrow down your population of interest (i.e.: a particular sport, age, playing position), I can also point you in the direction of articles related to specific areas of sport injury prevalence and incidence. Feel free to direct message if your research leads you down this path. Cheers! Angela 

Thanks Angela, will come back to you. cheers Georg
