Injuries Incidents in Outdoor Courses

Summary/Abstract: Outdoor sports are nowadays often called extreme or high-risk sports. The aim of the study was to analysethe injury incidence of the activities and sports that are taught by the Outdoor Sports Department,Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University. The research sample was created by studentsand teachers who participated on the courses organised by Outdoor Sports department during sixyears (2009–2015). We analysed the number and type of injuries. The data were compared by quantifyingthe injury incidence and objectively grading the injury severity using the NACA score per 1000 hoursof sporting participation. The examined sports were: alpine skiing, cross country skiing, snowboarding,freeride and skitouring, water touring, wild water sports, seakayaking, climbing and bouldering,cycling, orienteering, games in nature, exercise in nature. As the most risky showed exercise in nature(1.767 injuries /1000h) and games in nature (1.511/1000h). The most injuries from skiing activitieswere by freeride and skitouring (0.715/1000h), followed by snowboarding (0.289/1000h) and alpineskiing (0.266/1000h). In water sports, the most injuries happened by seakayaking (1.065/1000h) andwild water sports (0.457/1000h). The total injury incidence of the whole Outdoor Sports Department is0.438 injuries per 1000 hours. 69 % of injuries were light according to NACA scoring system, 23 % middlesevere, 6.5 % highly severe and 1.5 % potentially life threatening. Outdoor sports and activities injuryincidence appears to be much lower than in many mainstream sports such as football, ice hockey,basketball or handball.
