| Sumario: | The purpose of the present study was to determine the injury rate both in practice and competition, injury diagnoses and time loss in amateur basketball players within Benjamin and Senior categories. Injuries suffered in 25 teams (289 basketball players aged 8-34) were followed up as long as they were affiliated with municipal and federation competitions in Madrid (Spain). 48 injuries were sustained during 10961 athletes' exposures (AEs). 16.61% of basketball players got injured during this time. Injury rate was 1.77-11.8 per 1000 AEs for girls and 3.63-9.3 per 1000 AEs for boys in practice and competition respectively. Ligament sprains became the most common injury diagnoses (45.83%) and ankle sprain the most common injury (20.83%). As for mechanisms that resulted in injury and time loss there were wide differences according to gender. |
