Epidemiology of Speed Skating-related Injuries
An observational study of Sports Injury, run by University of Oviedo at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
Speed skating is a sport in which there´s a lack of epidemiological studies. In line with the well-established model of sports injury prevention research proffered by van Mechelen, the first stage in this process is establishing the extent of the problem i.e. injury incidence, severity and burden.

About this study
Speed skating is a sport in which there´s a lack of epidemiological studies. In line with the well-established model of sports injury prevention research proffered by van Mechelen, the first stage in this process is establishing the extent of the problem i.e. injury incidence, severity and burden. Through an online survey filled by semiprofessional athletes, it is posible to obtain all this important information. This way, it will be possible to fulfill a gap in the literature and take action in the near future in order to reduce the prevalence of injuries in this sport.
Read the detailed description
A retrospective study will be performed in speed skaters. 100 speed skaters will be recruited. Data of all injury along a whole season will be collected. Patients' information, including age, number of years playing, skill level and injured body part, will be analysed

Secondary outcomes (5)
Injury burden
Days lost per 1000 hours of exposure
Measured: [Time Frame: January 2018-December 2018]
Injury prevalence according to occurrence
Number of injuries sustained during training/ Number of injuries sustained during a match (% of all)
Measured: [Time Frame: January 2018-December 2018]
Injury prevalence by mechanism of injury
Number of injuries according to the mechanism of injury (Contact (Direct or indirect) or Non-Contact) (% of all)
Measured: [Time Frame: January 2018-December 2018]
Injury prevalence according to location
Distribution of injuries according to location of the injury (on the body, % of all)
