Windsurfing is a physically highly demanding sport in which a surfer moves the board forward on the water surface with the usage of wind. Although it is very popular on both recreational and competitive levels, and is an Olympic sport, a limited body of knowledge is present about this sport in general and injuries in particular. The main aim of this study was to investigate injury prevalence among windsurfers and possible gender differences. The sample of participants included 18 international elite windsurfers (8 female, 10 male). All participants filled newly constructed questionnaire through online survey. Variables included socio-demographic parameters, sports factors and injury factors. Statistical analysis included descriptive parameters (arithmetic mean and standard deviation and frequencies and percentages, depending on the character of the variable). For the analysis of differences between genders, T-test was used for parametric and Mann-Whitney test for nonparametric variables. Total number of 80 injuries were reported with significantly higher prevalence among women (n=56; t=-2.37, p=0.03) compared to men (n=24). Most frequently injured body sites were lower back (n=16; 20% of all injuries), chest and shoulders (n=11; 14%), knee (n=9; 11%) and head and neck (n=9; 11%). Significant differences between observed groups were found in injury prevalence for lower back (t=2.04, p=0.04) and head and neck (t=2.08, p=0,04) injuries. Around two-thirds of injuries (n=54; 68%) occurred during training, while 26 happened in competitions. Among sports factors, only significant gender differences were found for the number of conditioning training per week, with women recording higher numbers (Z=-1.99, p=0.05). Although the mechanism and type of injuries were not analyzed, results suggest that windsurfers need to include lower back prevention exercises. Previous studies reported the highest prevalence of lower body injuries, while the results of this study showed that the distribution of injuries is equal with the high prevalence of injuries among upper body parts.
