Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Prevalence of acute injuries in amateur and elite mountain bikers The prevalence of acute injuries in amateur and elite mountain bikers was assessed by the questionnaire used. The riders mentioned the number of acute injuries, the number of races and training volume per year and years practising mountain biking. Further, the protective gear items were asked. During the Swiss Epic Mountain Bike Event 2017 lasting from the 11th to 16th September
Secondary Differences in training and racing volume between amateur and elite mountain bikers. The number of races per year was multiplied by the factor 4 to transform the number of races into training hours. Then, both values were added to get the training volume per year. To detect the difference in training volume per year between amateur and elite mountain bikers statistical tests were used. During the Swiss Epic Mountain Bike Event 2017 lasting from the 11th to 16th September
Secondary Differences in years practising mountain biking between amateur and elite mountain bikers. Differences in years practising mountain biking between amateur and elite mountain bikers were detected using statistical analysis.
