摘要：The overstress imposed by competitiveness and the imbalance between the mechanical overstress and the functional resistance of the tissues are the causes of the high incidence of joint traumas in sports.The study was performed on 27 football players and 12 athletes (sprint and hurdles) from Timisoara,aged between 13 and 27 and with 4-17 years time spent in training.The study extended over a three-year period of competitions,during which the sportsmen were examined closely: Period I August 2006-July 2008 and Period II August 2008-July 2009.The musculo-skeletal traumas occurred in 11 body segments: forearm,thigh,elbow,spine,face,calf,knee,ankle,hand (palm,fist),foot and shoulder.All injured segments (N = 11) were compared against the total number of traumas per sportsmen,age groups and time spent in training,in order to reveal the age groups and longevity groups with the highest trauma incidence and the most frequently affected segments in the two periods (before and after starting the prevention exercises programme).Purpose: To reduce trauma incidence in the sportsmen studied in 2006-2009 through the identification of the risk factors and the introduction of prevention exercises and stretching methods in the training process,during both warm-up and post-effort rehabilitation,in order to prevent injuries and increase performance in competitive sportsmen.Results: The results of the comparison between the injuries occurring in each body segment separately in the two periods are significant (the Z-test was used and the significance threshold was α = 0.05).Track and field events: the number of knee traumas decreased considerably in the 2008-2009 period compared with the 2006-2008 period.Football: the number of thigh and knee traumas decreased significantly,while the number of foot injuries was significantly higher Conclusion: The results of our study,validated in sports-related literature,indicate that trauma incidence is higher in athletes than in football players.Injuries occur frequently in athletes competing in technical track and field events such as hurdling.
