Summary: This study aimed to report injury claim data in Ladies Gaelic football in Ireland over a period of 2012-2020 and examine trends over time. The study found that claim rates remained prevalent, but claim costs increased significantly during this time. Lower extremity injuries, especially knee injuries, were the most common type of injury, emphasizing the need for investment in injury prevention strategies.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether citizen science-based health data can be used for epidemiological research on injuries in professional football. The analysis of injury history data from ten seasons revealed significant differences in injury incidence and severity compared to other databases. Therefore, the use of citizen science-based data for epidemiological research is not recommended at present.

Summary: This study analyzed beach and patio umbrella injuries reported to United States emergency departments from 2000-2019, finding that most patients were females aged 40 years or older. The most common injuries were lacerations, followed by contusions or abrasions and internal organ injury. The head/neck and upper extremities were the body parts most frequently affected by these injuries, with wind being a significant factor in beach umbrella injuries.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to identify sports injury surveillance systems (ISSs) and injury surveillance guidelines (ISGs) developed and currently used in Japan. The review found that there are five ISSs developed in the sports field in Japan, most of which are based on insurance benefits or condolence payment systems. In addition, more than half of the studies used ISSs or ISGs developed overseas as resources for data collection tools or methods, indicating modifications to the definition and classification of injuries based on the needs of sports in Japan. Therefore, establishing club-based or organizational ISSs and ISGs that are appropriate for sports in Japan is necessary.

Summary: This study investigated the injury epidemiology of Western Australian police force recruits and found that muscle/tendon and ligament/joint injuries to the lower limb and shoulder were common. Older age and female sex were identified as risk factors for injuries. Therefore, prevention programs should prioritize these areas and recruit populations.
