abstract="OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate injury occurrence sustained by collegiate rodeo athletes during practice and competition. <br><br>DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiology. SETTING: Eleven National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association member institutions across the United States. PARTICIPANTS: Participants included 264 male and female college rodeo athletes. Athletic trainers (ATs) from each institution reported injury and exposure data using the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance Program. INTERVENTIONS: Institutional ATs reported athlete exposures (AEs) and injuries that occurred from collegiate rodeo practices and competitions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Injury and AEs from practices and competitions for one college rodeo season were analyzed. Injury rates and ratios were calculated for non-time loss (NTL) and time loss (TL) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). <br><br>RESULTS: Data revealed a higher proportion of TL than NTL injuries [2.47 vs 1.77 per 1000 AE; injury rate ratios (IRRs) = 1.39; 95% CI: 0.93-2.08]. There was a higher injury rate during competition as compared with practice (10.98 vs 3.09 per 1000 AE; IRR = 3.56; 95% CI: 2.36-5.35), but more injuries were reported in practice (62.2%). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Although the injury rate during rodeo competition was significantly higher than during practice in this study, a greater number of injuries were reported during practice. This indicates all college rodeo athletes can potentially benefit from available medical care.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
