Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Injuries in Beach Tennis Players

Beach tennis, a fast-growing sport since its creation in Italy in the 1970s, has rapidly gained in popularity, particularly in La Réunion sisland since 2000. However, despite its development, studies on beach tennis-specific injuries are rare, based on cross-sectional studies and therefore limited by temporal or memory bias. The need for prospective research is crucial if we are to gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of injuries and improve prevention and medical management.

The aim will be to determine the risk of injury among beach tennis players within a one-year national prospective cohort.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Risk of injury

    Time frame: 1 year

    To determine the risk of injury among beach tennis players in a one-year national prospective cohort. This risk will be presented in terms of injury incidence rates.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Type of injury

    Time frame: 1 year

    Describe the type of injury suffered by beach tennis players according to the Orchard Sports Injury Classification System (OSICS 14 classification).

  2. Main risk factors

    Time frame: 1 year

    To determine the main risk factors for beach tennis injuries on the basis of variables (demographics, morphological, medical data, other sports) collected at inclusion and during follow-up.

  3. Injury epidemiology

    Time frame: 1 year

    Comparing the epidemiology and characteristics of injuries between female and male players
