- Abstract
This study aimed to analyse the epidemiology of sport injuries that occurred during activities performed under teacher supervision (Physical Education, break and extracurricular activities), at high school. A questionnaire regarding sport injuries were administered to 1050 students (mean age 13.9 ± 1.3 years). Out of the 848 sport injuries registered, 319 (172 in boys and 147 in girls) took place during activities performed under teacher supervision, (0.30 injuries/student). Extracurricular activities were the scenario in which the highest injury rate (0.12) was observed. There was a higher incidence of injury at age 13 and a lower likelihood of injuries occurring in boys (OR = 0.64 (0.49-0.85); p < 0.05). Sprains and contusions were the type of injury most frequently observed, especially in areas such as ankles and knees. A total of 27.3% of the injuries reported prevented the students from actively participating in the Physical Education sessions for more than three days.
