We aimed to assess the risk of injury associated with training activities in a population of elite adolescent judo athletes, expected to represent South Korea. From 2019, we prospectively collected data on elite adolescent judo athletes at the Korean Training Center. The athletes were assessed by sports medicine doctors, and data were stratified according to sex, weight class, and injury location. We used χ² tests to compare groups. Injury rates were expressed as Poisson rates with 95% confidence intervals. One-way analysis of variance was used to investigate the pain score and recovery time due to type of injury. The study included 240 elite adolescent judo athletes whose 617 injuries (annual average, 2.57 injuries/athlete) were recorded. When all athletes were considered, most injuries occurred in the lower extremities (39.71%), followed by the upper extremities (36.63%), trunk (16.69%), and head and neck area (6.97%). Recovery time significantly differed according to the body regions in the weight classes. The pain score and recovery time according to the type of injury were significantly different. When the pain score decreased by 1, the recovery time decreased by about 1.47 days. In all weight classes, female athletes had a higher injury rate than male athletes; both male and female athletes had different recovery time depending on their weight class. The type of injury influenced the pain score and recovery time, with pain score being associated with recovery time.

我们旨在评估预期代表韩国的青少年柔道精英运动员与训练活动相关的受伤风险。从2019年开始，我们在韩国培训中心前瞻性收集了优秀青少年柔道运动员的数据。运动医学医生对运动员进行了评估，并根据性别，体重类别和受伤部位对数据进行了分层。我们使用χ ²测试以比较组。伤害率表示为具有95％置信区间的泊松率。使用单向方差分析来调查由于伤害类型而引起的疼痛评分和恢复时间。这项研究包括240名青少年柔道优秀运动员，他们共记录到617人受伤（年平均水平，每名运动员2.57人受伤）。当考虑所有运动员时，大多数受伤发生在下肢（39.71％），其次是上肢（36.63％），躯干（16.69％）和头颈部区域（6.97％）。根据体重类别的身体部位，恢复时间明显不同。根据损伤类型的疼痛评分和恢复时间差异显着。当疼痛评分降低1时，恢复时间减少了约1.47天。在所有体重类别中，女运动员的受伤率高于男运动员；男性和女性运动员都有不同的恢复时间，具体取决于他们的体重等级。伤害的类型影响疼痛评分和恢复时间，疼痛评分与恢复时间相关。
