Abstract

Triathlon is a popular sport that combines swimming, cycling and running into a single event and during these competitions there are many risk factors that can cause injury in athletes. The purpose of this study was to investigate CHARACTERISTICS OF INJURIES in TRIATHLON ATHLETES. Data about injuries (over a span of one year) in 60 professional TRIATHLON ATHLETES was collected using injuries report form. Chi-Square was used to analyze the data. Totally, 123 injuries (2 injuries per triathlon athlete per year) were reported. Most of the injuries were located in the lower extremities (78%) compared to upper extremities (22%) (P<0.05). Shin (28%), shoulder (22%), knee (21%) and ankle (11%) were the most common areas of injury (P<0.05, X2=42.67). The most common injuries were shin splints (26%) followed by shoulder pain (22%), knee pain (15%) and abrasions and contusions (14%) (P<0.05, X2=13.43). Overuse (30%) was the most important reason for injuries (P<0.05, X2=35.95) followed by the change of running place (19%), unsuitable shoes (15%), and inadequate warm-up (13%). Non-collision injuries (83%) were significantly higher than collision injuries (17%) (P<0.05, X2=53.34). Injury during practice (76%) happened more than during competition (24%) (P<0.05, X2=32.26). Injuries that occurred in running (51%) were more than those in cycling (27%) and swimming (22%) (P<0.05, X2=18.14). Minor injuries (85%) were significantly higher than severe injuries (15%) (P<0.05, X2=61.53). Most injures occurred on the right side of the body (64%) (P<0.05, X2=9.95). It can be concluded that most injuries occurred in lower extremities, especially during running; shin and shoulder were more prone to injury in TRIATHLON ATHLETES and overuse was main reason for injuries. It is suggested that team physicians, bodybuilders, athletes and coaches pay attention to the above facts in preventive programs.
