With the increase of female sports participants, the attention to female sports protection is getting higher and higher. However, most past sports science and sports medicine research has emphasized men, so the possible different effects of gender factors are less discussed. To explore whether women are more prone to sports injuries, we should start with the differences between men and women, which include biological sex (sex) and social sex (gender). This article reviewed epidemiological data on the incidence of sports injuries in male and female athletes and found that overall, there was no difference in the incidence of sports injuries between male and female athletes. However, when looking at specific sports, such as swimming, and water polo, there were sex differences in the incidence of sports injuries. For common sports injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament injuries, stress fractures, and concussions, female athletes had a higher incidence of injury. The current challenges in sports injury prevention work or related research include the lack of research in women's sports science and sports medicine and the disregard of social gender factors. Finally, a classification of sports injury risk factors based on the risk modification and sports injury prevention models incorporating sex and gender considerations are recommended for future practice. |
