An injury surveillance questionnaire of Waka Ama injuries and exposure was conducted using face to face interviews and a Web site–based interactive survey. Completed surveys were obtained from 240 individuals reporting 132 injuries amongst 101 athletes; 42% of those surveyed had sustained 1 or more injuries while participating in Waka Ama in the previous 12 months. The majority (79%, n=80) of the injured athletes sustained only 1 injury with the overall risk of injury being 1.82 per 1000 hours of exposure. Sprains/strains accounted for 62% of all injuries and the majority (35%) of recorded injuries were to the shoulder. Largely the injuries were not serious with 20% classified as slight, and there were no permanent disabilities or career ending injuries. Although a relatively safe sport, injuries to the shoulder and back, risks associated with long distance and multi-seat events, carrying the Waka Ama, and barriers to seeking medical attention warrant further investigation to reduce current injury incidence and severity in the sport of Waka Ama. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
