Table-sports injuries!!
This table shows sporting injuries which led to emergency hospital treatment. Ten sports were looked at.
The sport with the highest number of injuries was Australian football with a number well over 10,000 second, and not so close in second position was soccer at around 3,777 injuries. Even thought Australian football was the first in the table, rugby still has a greater percentage of hospital admissions, which is the first in that category. Netball, hockey and rugby are the leading sports in percentage of injuries during competition or practice category at 95%.
Surprisingly enough, martial arts is at 8th place in the list, with 882 as a number of injuries at around 2.1% and 5.6% hospital admissions, and hockey at 7th, which is less than expected.
In conclusion, the main two sports that show up more than once on this table as highest are Australian football, because it has the highest number of injuries, and rugby because it has the highest percentage of hospital admissions.
