Abstract：
Physical activity has numerous health benefits, enhancing overall wellbeing. However, it can also lead to injuries, impeding exercise capacity and hindering work. Limited knowledge exists about the prevalence of overuse gym injuries and whether they vary across different gym activities. This study aims to estimate sport injuries at fitness centers in Saudi Arabia, comparing injuries between various activities and session durations. This is a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study surveyed regular gym-goers in Saudi Arabia with overuse injuries. The online survey, distributed through social media apps, collected data using a validated Google form questionnaire. Questioanire consists of 3 parts. First part of the questionnaire included demographic characteristics of participants. Second part contains characteristics related to gym as gym session\'s duration, frequency of attending gym per week, sport types, type of injuries and site of injuries. Third part contains Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre (OSTRC) Overuse injury questionnaire that included 4 questions about difficulties in participation, reduction of training, affection of performance and symptoms. Study included 1012 participants, majority male (76.2%), with age range of 18 to 50 years, and significant proportion falling between 26 and 30 years (52.6%). Majority of participants were from Central Province (42.9%). Gym sessions typically lasted 1 to 2 hours (68.3%), and most common attendance frequency was 4 days/week (39.6%). Common injury sites were shoulder (25.2%), knee (20.2%), and lower back (17.7%). Bodybuilding (50.6%), running (45.8%), and weightlifting/powerlifting (45.1%) were predominant sports. Strain/muscle rupture/tear (35.70%) and muscle cramps/spasm (19.3%) were commonest injury types. Longer gym sessions (>2 hours) were associated with higher prevalence of strain/muscle rupture/tear, dislocation, and subluxation (P < .001). Shorter sessions (<1 hour) had higher prevalence of muscle cramps/spasm and contusion/hematoma/bruise (P < .001). Gym sessions lasting 1 to 2 hours had high prevalence in tendinosis/tendinopathy. Strain/muscle rupture/tear was significantly higher in bodybuilding, weightlifting/powerlifting, swimming, cycling, and running. Tendinosis/tendinopathy was higher in crossfit. (OSTRC) Overuse injury questionnaire revealed decreased participation, training volume, performance, and increased pain with longer gym sessions. In conclusion, gym-related injuries are common, with bodybuilding and running being prevalent activities. Preventative measures should be taken, and individuals are advised to undergo a physical and medical examination before engaging in physical activity at fitness centers.
摘要：
体育活动有许多健康益处，增强整体福祉。然而,它也会导致受伤，妨碍锻炼能力和妨碍工作。关于过度使用健身房伤害的患病率以及它们在不同的健身房活动中是否有所不同的知识有限。这项研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯健身中心的运动损伤，比较各种活动和会议持续时间之间的伤害。这是一个横截面，基于问卷调查的研究调查了沙特阿拉伯经常健身的过度使用伤害。在线调查，通过社交媒体应用程序分发，使用经过验证的Google表单问卷收集数据。Questioanire由3部分组成。问卷的第一部分包括参与者的人口统计学特征。第二部分包含与健身房相关的特征，作为健身房会议的持续时间，每周去健身房的频率，运动类型,受伤类型和受伤部位。第三部分包含奥斯陆运动创伤研究中心（OSTRC）过度使用伤害问卷，其中包括4个关于参与困难的问题，减少训练,表现和症状的影响。研究包括1012名参与者，男性占多数（76.2%），年龄在18到50岁之间，在26至30年之间下降的比例很大（52.6%）。大多数参与者来自中央省（42.9％）。健身房通常持续1到2个小时(68.3%)，最常见的出诊频率为4天/周(39.6%)。常见损伤部位为肩关节（25.2%），膝盖（20.2%），和下背部(17.7%)。健美(50.6%)，运行(45.8%)，举重/举重（45.1％）是主要运动。拉伤/肌肉破裂/撕裂（35.70％）和肌肉痉挛/痉挛（19.3％）是最常见的损伤类型。更长的健身房时间（>2小时）与更高的劳损/肌肉破裂/撕裂患病率相关，位错,和半脱位(P<.001)。时间越短（<1小时），肌肉痉挛/痉挛和挫伤/血肿/瘀伤的发生率越高（P<.001）。持续1至2小时的健身房课程在肌腱病/肌腱病的患病率很高。健美运动中的应变/肌肉破裂/撕裂明显较高，举重/举重，游泳,骑自行车,和跑步。交叉性肌腱病/肌腱病更高。(OSTRC)过度使用伤害问卷显示参与减少，训练量,性能，随着健身房的延长，疼痛也会增加。总之,健身房相关的伤害很常见，健美和跑步是普遍的活动。应采取预防措施,建议个人在健身中心进行体育锻炼之前进行身体和医学检查。
