Abstract
In brief: This report documents women's field hockey injuries at the California State University in Long Beach from 1976 to 1979. Of the 81 reported injuries, 56 were seen by a physician, but most were minor. Ankle sprains were the most common. Sixteen percent of the injuries were major. The most serious injuries were a glenohumeral subluxation of the shoulder, a cerebral concussion, a second-degree cheek contusion, and four knee injuries. The authors concluded that injuries decreased with improved team performance and that proper equipment, training, and medical coverage can limit injuries.
