Abstract

<p>A questionnaire survey of male and female Olympic-style boxers was conducted regarding injuries and the experience of knock out (KO) by a punch to the head. The total number of participants was 650, including 60 female and 590 male boxers. There was a significant difference in injuries between female and male boxers,with male boxers suffering more injuries of the face area (19%), fingers (12%), and hands (11%), due to a direct hit or strike by a punch. Female boxers had fewer injuries than male boxers, with 14% of injuries in the foot, 9% in the knee joint, and 8% in the elbow joint, as well as in areas affected by direct blows. Those that experienced KOs ranged from 34-48% for female boxers and 66-69% for male boxers, with significantly fewer female than male boxers. Symptoms were present after KO in 14% of female boxers and 36% of male boxers, significantly fewer in female than male boxers. Injuries and KOs are less common among female than male boxers in Olympic-style boxing in Japan.</p>
