Abstract：
This cross-sectional epidemiological study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of injuries among young archers engaged in high-intensity training during the European Youth Championship. A total of 200 participants (104 males/96 females) from 34 countries were included, with a mean age of 16.9 years and average competitive experience of 6.5 years. Structured questionnaires, administered by four physiotherapist interviewers, gathered comprehensive data. Results revealed that 43.5% of participants experienced shoulder pain during training, highlighting the vulnerability of upper limbs in archers. Additionally, 30% required medications to facilitate training, underscoring the impact of injuries on continued participation. Physiotherapy was utilized by 52.3% of participants, emphasizing the need for therapeutic intervention. Furthermore, 31.8% had to cease training due to injuries, indicating a substantial hindrance to athletic progression. The mean pain duration was 3.9 months, with an average intensity of 5.94, and 8% exhibited symptoms of central sensitization. In conclusion, this study demonstrates a noteworthy prevalence of injuries, particularly in the upper limbs, among young archers undergoing intensive training. The findings underscore the importance of targeted injury prevention strategies and comprehensive rehabilitation approaches to ensure the well-being and sustained participation of young athletes in competitive archery.
摘要：
这项横断面流行病学研究旨在评估在欧洲青年锦标赛期间进行高强度训练的年轻弓箭手的伤害发生率。共有来自34个国家的200名参与者(104名男性/96名女性)被纳入，平均年龄16.9岁，平均竞争经验6.5年。结构化问卷，由四名物理治疗师面试官管理，收集了全面的数据。结果显示，43.5%的参与者在训练期间经历了肩痛，突出弓箭手上肢的脆弱性。此外,30％需要药物以促进培训，强调受伤对持续参与的影响。52.3%的参与者使用物理治疗，强调治疗干预的必要性。此外，31.8%的人因受伤不得不停止训练，表明运动进步有很大的障碍。平均疼痛持续时间为3.9个月，平均强度为5.94，8％表现为中枢致敏症状。总之,这项研究表明了值得注意的伤害发生率，尤其是上肢,在接受强化训练的年轻弓箭手中。研究结果强调了有针对性的伤害预防策略和全面的康复方法的重要性，以确保年轻运动员在竞技射箭中的福祉和持续参与。
