ABSTRACT
Although more Malaysians are
taking part in International Multisport Games, these athletes
well-being at such events have not been fully explored. The
purpose of this study was to examine the pattern of injury and
illness among Malaysian athletes during the XVII
Asian Games 2014. Clinical and socio-demographic
information of athletes diagnosed with injury or illness during
the centralised training camp and
at the Games were recorded in a standardised
report form. Throughout the study period, 83 injuries and 64
illnesses were recorded from 276 athletes. Muscle strains and
tears were the most common injury followed by ligamentous injury
and soft tissues contusion. The number of injuries was highest
among badminton players followed by hockey and rugby. Significantly
higher incidence of injuries was observed among men than women
hockey players. Athletes in individual events had higher proportion
of more severe injury than those in team events. Respiratory
tract infection was the most frequent illness diagnosed among
athletes. Most injuries and illnesses diagnosed among athletes
were minor and did not result in time away from participation.
The incidence of injuries and illnesses among Malaysian athletes
at the XVII Asian Games were comparable with those reported by
previous authors. Injury and illness rate were influenced by
gender and sports. Fortunately, majority of injuries and illnesses
were minor and did not prevent athletes from participation.

ABSTRAK
Walaupun ramai atlet
Malaysia telah menyertai
pelbagai kejohanan sukan pada peringkat
antarabangsa, tahap
kesihatan mereka dalam kejohanan masih belum diterokai. Tujuan penyelidikan ini dijalankan adalah untuk mengkaji pola kecederaan dan masalah kesihatan
dalam kalangan
atlet Malaysia pada Kejohanan
Sukan Asia ke-XVII
2014. Maklumat klinikal serta
sosio-demografik atlet
yang mengalami kecederaan
atau masalah kesihatan
ketika di kem
latihan dan pada kejohanan sukan direkodkan di dalam borang laporan kecederaan/masalah kesihatan. Sepanjang penyelidikan ini
dijalankan sejumlah
83 kecederaan dan 64 masalah kesihatan telah direkodkan dalam kalangan 276 atlet Malaysia. Kecederaan otot
adalah kecederaan
yang paling kerap dilaporkan
diikuti kecederaan ligamen dan kontusi
tisu lembut.
Jumlah kecederaan tertinggi dilaporkan dalam kalangan atlet badminton diikuti dengan pemain hoki dan
ragbi. Kecederaaan juga dilaporkan secara
signifikannya lebih
tinggi dalam kalangan
pemain hoki
lelaki berbanding wanita. Kadar kecederaan
yang teruk lebih
tinggi dalam kalangan
atlet acara inividu
daripada atlet berpasukan. Sementara itu jangkitan
salur pernafasan merupakan masalah kesihatan yang paling kerap didiagnosis dalam kalangan atlet. Majoriti kecederaan dan masalah kesihatan dialami atlet merupakan
masalah ringan
yang tidak mengecualikan atlet daripada bertanding mahupun berlatih. Insiden kecederaan dan
masalah kesihatan
dalam kalangan atlet Malaysia di kejohanan Sukan Asia ke-XVII sebanding dengan insiden yang dilaporkan oleh penyelidik terdahulu. Kadar kecederaan dan masalah kesihatan dipengaruhi oleh jantina serta jenis
sukan. Majoriti kecederaan dan
masalah kesihatan
dialami adalah masalah ringan dan tidak mengecualikan
atlet daripada
penyertaan.
