Abstract
In the recent years sport climbing has become more and more popular. As an extreme sport, it is prone to a high degree of injury risk. A particular body part exposed to injuries is the upper extremity.
The aim of this study was to assess the number and types of hands and/or wrists injuries in regular sport climbers. The study was conducted on a group of 468 climbers. The criterion for inclusion was the regularity of conducted trainings, training internship of at least 1 year and the minimum difficulty of covering the distance at the level of VI.1. A proprietary questionnaire was used as a research tool.
As a result of climbing training 84% of examined climbers experienced pain in their palm/wrist area, whereas 67% of respondents suffered hand/wrist damage. The most common hand injuries occurred on the annular ligaments of the fingers (N = 97). It was observed a correlation between annular pulley injury and injuries occurring in the proximity of the III finger (rs = 0.513, p < 0.001) as well as between carpal tunnel syndrome and training experience (rs = 0.355, p < 0.05).
Musculoskeletal system damage and pain is a common problem for climbers. The analysis of the collected data indicated that the longer the training experience is, the higher the injury risk. The third and fourth fingers were the most injured, whereas the most frequent injuries were suffered in annular finger ligament. The collected data indicated the need to educate climbers in prevention and treatment of these specific injuries.

Abstract

Introduction. Injuries in team games are an inseparable part of today’s sport. For every athlete it is connected with a decrease in exercise capacity, need for medical help and economic consequences. Professional rehabilitation of athletes, after a traumatic event, requires work with a physiotherapist with high skills and extensive experience and the use of modern physical therapy equipment. The lack of one of those factors can lead to further loss of health by the player, prolonged rehabilitation and thus delayed return to the game
Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the type and frequency of injuries occurring among professional female handball players and the type and methods of treatment used after the injury.
Material and methods. The studied group consisted of 19 women aged 18-31 years, playing handball for at least 5 years. All of the subjects played in the first team of Korona Handball Club in Kielce. In the study a diagnostic survey method was used.
Results. The study showed that 100% of players suffered from at least one injury connected to their professional sports activity. Most often the injury occurred while landing – 33.9%, fouls – 21.4% and throws – 19.6%. 12.5% (7) of the occurred traumas required surgery and the remaining 87.5% ended in conservative treatment. In spite of the fully recovery from the injury, a large proportion of the players – 68.4% were feeling discomfort after the resumption of training and during the matches.
Conclusions. The most common injuries of professional handball female players are sprains and dislocations of the lower limbs. Most athletes undergone conservative physiotherapy treatment including kinesiotherapy and wide range of physical therapy modalities.

Abstract
Introduction. Sport injury needs to be considered a major issue, both in amateur and competitive circumstances; it often limits athletes’ ability or totally prevents them from performing their professional activities. A number of handball teams in Poland fail to provide adequate medical facilities, which results in the situation where the players’ health is not satisfactorily cared for.
Aim. The aim of this paper is to analyse the injury rate among members of selected handball teams from men’s Super League and First Division, 2014/2015 season.
The respondents who participated in this study play in 4 different teams, 2 teams are currently in Super League and 2 in the First Division. The data was collected between August and October 2015 and the questions discussed only the sport injuries suffered in the 2014/2015 season. Injury rate coefficient was then calculated, based on the following formula: Number of injuries x 1000 hours / Actual time of injury risk exposure.
Results. The highest injury rate coefficient was calculated for Team 1, 7.86. This left the remaining teams behind with the coefficient value of 5.20 for Team 3, 3.93 for Team 4 and only 2.63 for Team 2. Injury rate coefficient calculated for these players who have been subject to screening examination and received a tailored result correction programme was recorded at the level of 2.71, as compared to 7.02 calculated for the players who have not been examined and received correction therapy. In general, handball players experienced injury primarily during the execution of a throw; these incidences amounted to 30.4% of all injuries.
Conclusions. Physiotherapist and his involvement in a handball team reduces the risk of sport injuries. Screening examination of musculoskeletal system, as well as tailored result correction programme, significantly reduce the risk of sport injuries. Therefore, technique improving exercise programmes should be created and incorporated into handball training, practising safe, injury risk-free way of executing a throw.
