Between 2006 and 2017 in Ontario, the incidence of basketball and soccer injuries increased while hockey injuries decreased, highlighting shifting patterns in sports-related musculoskeletal injuries.
A 2021 study conducted a cohort in Sport-related musculoskeletal injuries (n=185,868). Basketball, soccer, or hockey participation was evaluated on Annual Incidence Density Rates of injury. Over a 10-year period, the incidence of basketball and soccer injuries increased to 5.6 and 4.9 per 10,000 person-years, respectively, whereas hockey injuries decreased to 3.7 per 10,000 person-years.
