自由車運動傷害的發生率佔全美國運動傷害的首位,業餘愛好者及專業運動選手所發生的運動傷害的原因、種類及好發部位各有所不同。本研究是採用問卷方式及理學檢查,調查研究我國自由車亞運儲訓的16位選手,其過去半年經驗及目前運動傷害情形。 依問卷結果,就受傷部位而言,膝、下背部及手部分佔前三名、各佔87.5%、81.3%、56.3%,其餘依次為足踝、頭、上臂、頸、髖部。依理學檢查結果,若以病變來區分,以肌肉疲勞為最多,佔81.3%,其次為神經壓迫(62.5%) 。其餘包括肌腱炎、軟骨軟化症、挫傷及擦傷、韌帶扭傷。若進一步將受傷部位合併考慮,下背痛、手部神經壓迫、髕骨軟化症、膝肌腱炎分佔前四名、練習量、參賽間期與常見症狀的發生率並無線性相關;參賽種類也與常見症狀的發生率無關。
Bicycle injuries are the most common sports injuries in U.S. There are different causes, types, and sites of sports injury between amateur and professional cyclist. 16 Asian Games cyclists of our country participated in this survey study of cyclic sports injuries. We used questionaire and physical examination to complete this study. According to the result of questionaire, the most frequently lesion sites were: knee (87.5%), low back (81.3%), hand (56.3%). The others were; ankle, head, upper extremity. hip (in their orders of frequency). Acoordng to the result of physical examination, the most frequently found types of injuries were: muscle strain (81.3%), nerve entrapment (62.5%), the others were: tendonitis, chondromalacia, contussion and abrasion, sprain (in their orders of frequency). Combination of above lesion sites and types, the most frequent disorders were: Low Back Pain, nerve entrapment of hand, patella chondromalacia, patella tendinitis. There was no linear relationship between intensity of training and incidence of disorders. There was also no obviously positive correlation between total number of years participated and incidence of disorders. All of the cyclists had at least one kind of sports injuries, but they rarely received treatment. We should supply the medical services to let the cyclists have the best healthy condition, so they could get the best resuts in their bicycling games.
