Time-loss injuries are defined as injuries that (1) were evaluated or treated (or both) by an athletic trainer, physician, or other health care professional; (2) restricted the student-athlete from participation for at least 24 hours past the day of injury; and (3) occurred during a sanctioned practice or competition. Time-loss injuries also included all fractures, concussions, and dental injuries, regardless of time loss.
Non–time-loss injuries are defined as injuries that (1) were evaluated or treated (or both) by an athletic trainer, physician, or other health care professional; (2) did not restrict the student-athlete from participation for at least 24 hours past the day of injury; and (3) occurred during a sanctioned practice or competition. All fractures, concussions, and dental injuries were classified as time-loss injuries.
Fewer than 10 time-loss injuries were reported. Therefore, the rate should be interpreted with caution.
Fewer than 10 non–time-loss injuries were reported. Therefore, the rate should be interpreted with caution.
