description | We conducted a prospective cohort study to determine the incidence rate and characterization of the injuries sustained by players during the 2021/22 season of the Rugby Europe SuperCup, Under-20, and Under-18 championships. Team medics reported the injuries, using an online platform. Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. The overall incidence of injuries ranged from 33.33 (95% CI: 18.97–54.60) in the under-18s to 83.33 (95% CI: 60.34–112.40) in the under-20s, while in the SuperCup it was 41.35 (95% CI: 30.30–55.18) injuries per 1000 player-match-hours. Injury severity (mean days) was higher in the SuperCup (38.33) and lower in the Under-18 tournament (28.50). Lower limb and soft tissue were the most common type of injuries. Tackles caused almost two-thirds of all injuries. Concussion accounted for 10.0% to 25.6% of all injuries. Our data are consistent with previous reports for similar levels of competition and age grades. The injury incidence was higher in the senior competitions (Under-20s and SuperCup). However, for the under-20s, injury rates were higher than in the SuperCup. This might be related to the competition format; however, more studies need to be conducted in the future. Concussion is a common injury and the protocols used at this level seems to be effective to identify it. |
