Injuries in Swedish Youth Athletics. The KLUB-study.
An observational study of Athletics Injuries, run by Linkoeping University at 1 site in Sweden.
Trial summary
It is well known that participation in sports activities as a youth has several health benefits, but at the same time, studies report that the risk is high to obtain injuries related to participation. There is, however, increasing evidence that many of these injuries can be prevented if necessary measures are taken. Read more about this study

About this study
It is well known that participation in sports activities as a youth has several health benefits, but at the same time, studies report that the risk is high to obtain injuries related to participation. There is, however, increasing evidence that many of these injuries can be prevented if necessary measures are taken. Prospective studies are therefore needed to be able to plan and carry out measures to prevent the occurrence of injuries. The overall aim of the project KLUB is to study the prevalence and incidence of injuries among athletics youths aged 12-15 years. A particular focus will be placed on identifying factors associated with injury occurrence.

It is well known that participation in sports activities as a youth has several health benefits, but at the same time, studies report that the risk is high to obtain injuries related to participation. There is, however, increasing evidence that many of these injuries can be prevented if necessary measures are taken. So far, most studies examining sports injuries have been conducted on adult elite and among team sports, for example football, ice hockey and bandy. How injury patterns present in individual sports and among youth is not as well documented. A major problem in athletics is that studies have shown an almost identical prevalence and incidence of injury associated with athletics among both young and adult athletes.
Today there are very few published studies on international incidence of injuries among adolescent athletes in athletics and no describing the incidence in Swedish Athletics. These studies have different study design, definitions of injury and rather small groups of athletes, making it difficult to draw conclusions that can be the basis for prevention programs. What after all can be inferred from these previous studies is that injuries related to overuse seems to be most prevalent. Prospective studies are therefore needed to be able to plan and carry out measures to prevent the occurrence of injuries. We intend to carry out an intervention study among athletics youths aged 12-15 years. Before this is carried out, the investigators need to have adequate knowledge of the study population for the effective implementation of the intervention study.
The overall aim of the project KLUB is to study the prevalence and incidence of injuries among athletics youths aged 12-15 years. A particular focus will be placed on identifying factors associated with injury occurrence. The knowledge obtained will be used to allow for injury prevention in the future.

Measured: Reporting every second week during one year
Secondary outcomes (1)

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of injuries in youth athletics (time frame: Reporting every second week during one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02882867, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Aug 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
