Right now, the most popular social sport is Frisbee .
Frisbee sports break the gender circle, men and women compete on the same field, unite and cooperate, and chase a Frisbee together.
For people who exercise occasionally, participating in Frisbee sports does not require much physical confrontation, and it can be said that they can share their handsome sports moments on social media after the game, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.
Trendy sports often make people ignore the hidden dangers of sports safety behind them . Not long after the winter of “the end of the snow trail is orthopedics”, there were many more friends who were injured playing Frisbee in the outpatient department of the hospital.
Frisbee sports have certain requirements on physical fitness such as endurance, speed, and agility, but because there is no physical contact, and the flying speed of the Frisbee itself is not fast, the probability of injury is not high. Most of the Frisbee enthusiasts I meet in the outpatient clinic are newbies .
Knowing about Frisbee sports and the possible injuries can reduce the risk of injury while having fun.
I used to play frisbee and wear a headgear
The Frisbee as we know it now was just a humble “pie” in the beginning.
In the early 20th century, there was a baker in the United States named William Frisbie who founded a baking company under his own name. When the store employees are bored, they will throw tinfoil-wrapped pie disks in the air to make them spin . This behavior has caused students nearby to follow suit, and the person throwing the pie will shout the baker’s last name – “Frisbie!”, to remind the person who receives the pie. Then the game was introduced to Yale University, and students began to play on the green field.
Later, American Walter Morrison (Walter Morrison) realized the potential market of Frisbee and made the world’s first plastic Frisbee , named Frisbee (to avoid Frisbie’s copyright issues), and Frisbee sports began to become popular in Europe and the United States.

The Ultimate Frisbee competition was born in 1968, when high school student Joel Silver suggested an Ultimate Frisbee competition to the school, and Ultimate Frisbee took the school by storm, leading to a national championship in 1975.

Passing in basketball, running in soccer, scoring in rugby
Many novices mistakenly believe that Frisbee sports are “handy” and easy to learn. In fact, not so. Some people describe the game of Frisbee this way – “It has the passing of basketball, the movement of football, and the scoring of football “.

Frisbee sports combines the sports modes of rugby, football and basketball, including a variety of movements, such as running, cutting, jumping, spinning and flying, etc. It requires participants to have good throwing, hand-eye coordination and other skills . The test also includes Physical qualities including strength, speed, coordination, and agility.
Although Frisbee is easy to learn, it also requires a variety of abilities of the participants, which brings some potential sports risks.
Common sports injuries
In Frisbee sports, more than 30% of injuries occur during running , including sprint running, variable speed running, and changing direction running. 20% of the injuries are related to Layout , and a good flutter can greatly reduce the probability of injury; although physical confrontation is not advocated, 10% of sports injuries are still caused by collisions.

According to the injury site statistics of the 2017 Professional Extreme Frisbee League, more than 70% of lower limb sports injuries occurred, mainly in the ankles, knees and thighs . Among upper extremity injuries, right upper extremity injuries were more frequent than left upper extremity injuries.

The most common sports injuries in Frisbee were muscle and tendon strains (29%) and ligament sprains (19%) . In addition, there were thigh muscle strains (12.7%), ankle sprains (11.4%), collision bruises (12.5%), and cramps (10%).
Friends who love Frisbee sports may be troubled by the above injuries. Some friends even suffer from severe injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament tear, meniscus tear, shoulder dislocation, etc. Once severe swelling and pain occur, please go to sports medicine in time. Seek medical help in outpatient clinic.
The probability of an injury occurring is also related to the time period. As the game progresses, the probability of injury will gradually increase. The probability of sports injuries in the second half is twice as high as that in the first half , with the highest probability of injury in the white-hot competition in the third quarter.
Injuries in different time periods｜Author’s translation[2]
In general, the offense is more prone to injury than the defense . Compared with the controller who passed the frisbee, the cutter who needs to run back and forth to pick up the frisbee has a higher probability of injury.
Injuries at different locations｜Author’s translation[2]
Different venues have different probability of causing injury. Studies have shown that the injury probability of sports on artificial turf is 1.3 times that of natural turf ; the probability of playing Frisbee on a slippery field is 1.5 times that of a dry field. Before playing Frisbee, everyone should also pay attention to whether the venue is suitable to reduce the risk of sports.
