Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Injuries in Beach Tennis Players
An observational study of Sport Injury, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion at 1 site in Reunion.
Trial summary
Beach tennis, a fast-growing sport since its creation in Italy in the 1970s, has rapidly gained in popularity, particularly in La Réunion sisland since 2000. However, despite its development, studies on beach tennis-specific injuries are rare, based on cross-sectional studies and therefore limited by temporal or… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Injuries in Beach Tennis Players: a Prospective Cohort Study
Beach tennis, a fast-growing sport since its creation in Italy in the 1970s, has rapidly gained in popularity, particularly in La Réunion sisland since 2000. However, despite its development, studies on beach tennis-specific injuries are rare, based on cross-sectional studies and therefore limited by temporal or memory bias. The need for prospective research is crucial if we are to gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of injuries and improve prevention and medical management.
The aim will be to determine the risk of injury among beach tennis players within a one-year national prospective cohort.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Beach tennis player | After inclusion in the study, players will report their injuries monthly through an on-line questionnaire |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Risk of injury
To determine the risk of injury among beach tennis players in a one-year national prospective cohort. This risk will be presented in terms of injury incidence rates.
Measured: 1 year
Secondary outcomes (3)
Type of injury
Describe the type of injury suffered by beach tennis players according to the Orchard Sports Injury Classification System (OSICS 14 classification).
Measured: 1 year
Main risk factors
To determine the main risk factors for beach tennis injuries on the basis of variables (demographics, morphological, medical data, other sports) collected at inclusion and during follow-up.
Measured: 1 year
Injury epidemiology
Comparing the epidemiology and characteristics of injuries between female and male players
Measured: 1 year
