Abstract

Injuries are one of the common risks associated with physical activity. At the collegiate level of sports participation, NCAA sports programs are required to provide injury treatment and prevention options for their athletes. However, for participants competing in club and intramural sports, no universal requirements for injury prevention and treatment exist. This study assessed the risk of injury during club and intramural sports among college-aged students compared to participants in NCAA sports. Overall, club sport participants were found to have a significantly higher rate of injury compared to previously documented injury rates in NCAA participants, while, both NCAA and club sports participants were found to be more at risk than intramural participants. Specific sport injury rates were documented for nine club sports and compared with NCAA injury data. These injury rates suggest a need for improved health care and preventative treatment options for club sport athletes, especially in club sport rugby.
