title: Sport injuries in right- and left-handers.
abstract: The incidences of sport injuries in right- and left-handed subject was investigated. Of 40 left-handed athletes, 33 (83.0%) had sport injuries; of 279 right-handed athletes, 189 (68.0%) had sport injuries. These findings suggest left-handers may be more susceptible to accident-related injuries.
