Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Judo is considered one of the most widely practiced Asian martial arts globally.Comprehending the frequency and origins of injuries in judokas is essential for creating effective preventative measures. Sleep quality has been identified as a potential risk factor, but its connection with injuries in judokas needs further investigation.
Objective:This study’s objective is to delve into the injury patterns in judokas and scrutinize the correlation between sleep and other potential factors with injuries in judokas.
Method: An internet-based survey was disseminated to selected judokas, collecting data on sleep quality and injuries over the preceding six months. The collected data was subjected to descriptive analysis and logistic regression.
Result :From the analysis of self-reported data from 255 surveys, thirteen potential risk factors for injuries in judokas were examined.Roughly 58.8% of judokas reported at least one injury, with the ankle being the most common injury location (22%), followed by the shoulder (13.5%). Factors such as sleep quality (odds ratio (OR): 1.26; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.12-1.43), training more than 3 times a week (OR: 5.99; CI: 2.96-12.13), and having a black belt dan 1-5 (OR: 5.90; CI: 1.96-18.04) were found to be linked with injuries in judokas. These factors together explained 30% of the variance in injuries in judokas. A separate regression analysis showed that sleep quality explain 10% of the variance injuries in judokas.
Conclusion; This association of sleep quality with injuries in judokas provides fresh perspectives on the multifaceted causes of injuries in judokas. Hence, we suggest integrating sleep considerations into guidelines for preventing and managing injuries in judokas, along with addressing common risk factors.
