OBJECTIVE: To establish match injury rates, characteristics, severity, burden, and associated risk factors in South African provincial women's rugby players.
METHOD: A secondary data analysis of injury data collected prospectively during the 2023 Women's Premier Division competition in South Africa. Match injuries were analyzed, and a modified version of the rugby consensus injury definition was used. The injury incidence rate was calculated as injuries/1000 player match hours. Univariate analysis was used, and injury incidence risk was calculated where applicable. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
RESULTS: The injury incidence rate for all injuries was 207.1/1000 player match hours (95% CIs 153.8 to 260.5), and for time-loss injuries 25.0/1000 player match hours (95% CIs 6.5 to 43.5). The mean severity was 22.3 days. The lower limb and muscle/tendon injuries were the most commonly injured anatomical regions and injury types. Contact injuries had a significantly higher injury incidence rate than non-contact injuries (p < 0.001). The injury incidence risk was significantly higher for forwards compared to backs (p = 0.019).
CONCLUSION: The overall match injury incidence rate was comparable to other studies on women's rugby. Contact injuries, lower limb, and muscle/tendon injuries are associated with a significantly higher injury incidence rate.
