Injury Frequencies in College Recreational Sports: 2013–2014 Through 2018–2019

University recreation centers offer various sport programs and activities. However, injury surveillance data in this setting is lacking. The purpose of this study was to describe injury frequency for college recreational athletes by year, semester, indoor/outdoor locations, playing surface type, activity, injury type, body region, and body part. 2,202 injuries were documented with a higher injury frequency observed during fall semester, on turf fields and court surfaces, and during intramural sports. Musculoskeletal injuries were highest among all activities and head/concussion injuries had a high frequency for organized sports, which further supports employing medical professionals for collegiate recreational sport activities.
