Abstract des Autors
Purpose. Over the last half century, Taekwondo has evolved to become one of the most popular and commonly practiced martial arts in the world. Which has subsequently led to Taekwondo being included as an official Olympic sport since 2000.The purpose of this study was to assess the injury rates in female adult Egyptian Taekwondo athletes relative to total number of injuries, type and body part injured. Methods. A prospective recording of the injuries resulting from 83 matches in 4th Alexandria's International Open Taekwondo Championships was performed. Results. Injuries were recorded, with an incidence of 16.18 injuries per 100 athletes. Occurrence of injuries was higher among lighter categories, the injuries were most commonly located in the hands (20.83%) followed by foot (18.8%), and ankle (16,7%). Conclusions. Competitive taekwondo is associated with a relatively high injury rate but mainly for minor injuries, with a relative risk lower than in most sports; severe injuries are rare. Verf.-Referat
