[Injuries in children and adolescents during organized physical education (Czechoslovakia 1976-1987)].
Based on an analysis of 11,307 injuries of children and 29,537 injuries of adolescents, the authors draw attention to the causes and mechanisms of sports injuries. They occurred in the course of 10 years during organized activities in physical training organizations. The greatest proportion of injuries in children occur in gymnastics, figure skating and modern gymnastics. In adolescents there are most injuries during boxing, and during bobsleigh and sledge contents. When assessing the same as in other age groups--an unwanted fall surface of the gymnasium floor or the fault of another person. In adolescents the order is reversed and is similar as in adults. The mechanism of child injuries is the same as in other age groups--an unwanted fall predominates. Children differ markedly from others in the diagnoses: fractures are most frequent, while distortions are much rarer. The method of data collection markedly influences the structure of diagnoses, because the group comprises a minimum of injuries with a short period of therapy which are not paid for by insurance companies.
