Table 2_Training exposure, recovery, and injury incidence among course-based and competitive university Wushu Taolu practitioners: a 12-week prospective cohort study.docx Qi Liu (33068) Jiannan Yang (16455240) Public Health and Health Services not elsewhere classified musculoskeletal injury prospective cohort public health surveillance recovery training load university athletes Wushu Taolu Background<p>Whether the large training-exposure difference between course-based and competitive-team university Wushu Taolu practitioners in China translates into a correspondingly different musculoskeletal health burden has not been well characterized prospectively.</p>Methods<p>In this observational, non-randomized cohort study, 255 practitioners (128 course-based, 127 university-team; mean age 20.7 ± 1.5) were followed over four waves (T0–T3) across 12 weeks, with training load, sleep, recovery, health problems, and injury recorded using recall windows matched to each variable’s time-scale.</p>Results<p>University-team practitioners had substantially higher training exposure than course-based practitioners. The 12-week cumulative incidence of new injury was substantially higher in university-team practitioners than in course-based practitioners (68.9% vs. 20.0%; p < 0.001), with higher adjusted odds of injury (OR = 6.31, 95% CI 1.49–26.69). However, when injury occurrence was expressed relative to estimated training exposure, the between-group difference was much smaller: 10.56 versus 8.98 positive new-injury person-wave observations per 1,000 estimated training hours, respectively (IRR = 1.18, 95% CI 0.79–1.75). Prior injury within the preceding 12 months was strongly associated with subsequent injury (OR = 4.06, 95% CI 2.03–8.13).</p>Conclusion<p>University-team practitioners experienced a substantially greater absolute injury burden than course-based practitioners, whereas the between-group difference was much smaller when injury occurrence was expressed relative to estimated training exposure. Prior injury history was a strong marker of subsequent injury. Because group membership and training exposure were highly correlated and the study was observational, these findings should not be interpreted causally.</p> 2026-09-17T04:46:17Z Dataset Dataset 10.3389/fpubh.2026.1950026.s002 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Table_2_Training_exposure_recovery_and_injury_incidence_among_course-based_and_competitive_university_Wushu_Taolu_practitioners_a_12-week_prospective_cohort_study_docx/33871057 CC BY 4.0
