  • Description: An abstract of the study of Usuki assessing demographic information, participation rates, injuries and medical care in BJJ athletes. Results show that participants reported widely varying experience (total experience: 68.3 ± 44.84 months (range = 12-168 months), average practice hours per week: 6.9 ± 4.82 hours/week). Seventy-eight participants (75.0%) reported 136 current or resolved injuries in the past year. 113 cases (83.1%) occurred during practice. The knee (35 cases, 26.5%) and the neck (14 cases, 10.6%) were the most frequently injured body parts. Players sought medical attention for 59 injuries (43.4%), primarily from physicians (50%) and in physician clinics (62.3%). Strain (15 cases, 27.3%), sprain (9 cases, 16.4%), and cartilage damage (7 cases, 12.7%) were the most common diagnoses. Submission-related motions (52 cases, 41.6%) were the most common MOI. Arm bar (7 cases, 13.2%) was the most common submission technique related to injury. Players missed an average of 35.9 ± 60.1 days of practice and 1.6 ± 6.7 days of work due to BJJ-related injury. A significant association was found between frequency of practice and number of players who reported at least 1 injury in the past year (n = 103, X2 = 5.661, p = 0.017) and between players who reported a history of injury in the past year, and the presence of a current injury (n = 103, X2 = 6.325, p = 0.012).
