dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to identify and establish the extent of sport-related injury in Canadian university varsity athletics, focusing on knee injury and significant sport injury. Of the SRIs reported, 20% were significant in nature and 23.2% were knee injuries. A larger percentage of knee SRIs were significant compared non-knee SRIs. Those suffering a knee injury were 4.5 times more likely to suffer a significant injury than those afflicted with non-knee injuries. Mens volleyball athletes are two times more likely to suffer a knee injury, once controlled for sport group. Once controlled for sport, mens hockey athletes are 2.3 times more likely to suffer a significant injury than any other sport (Table 4). Mens basketball has the highest rate of injury (3.32 per athlete) during this reporting period and football has the highest rate of significant knee injury at 0.27 per athlete (Table 1).
