Abstract
Background
Basketball is the most popular sport among the U.S. Air Force (USAF)
active duty population and causes a large number of lost-workday injuries.
The purpose of this study is to describe how basketball injuries occur to
allow development of effective countermeasures.
Methods
This study used data derived from safety reports obtained from the USAF
Ground Safety Automated System. Basketball injuries for the years 19932002
that resulted in at least one lost workday were included in the study
conducted in 2003. Narrative data from 32,818 safety reports were
systematically reviewed and coded in order to categorize and summarize
mechanisms associated with these injuries.
Results
A total of 2204 mishap reports involving active duty USAF members playing
basketball were documented by the study. This study identified seven
mechanisms causing basketball injury. Two similar causes involving jumping
(landing awkwardly and landing on someone's foot) accounted for 43% of
basketball injuries followed by collisions with other players (10%).
Conclusions
This study shows that mechanisms of basketball-related injury can be
identified using the detailed information found in USAF safety reports.
Knowledge of leading hazards or mechanisms for basketball injuries can be
used to prioritize and develop prevention strategies.
