进行研究的原因：虽然骨折和肌腱损伤是已知的重要疾病，在国家狩猎（NH）赛马在比赛中，有没有准确的估计其发病率在NH training yards.Objectives：估计骨折和肌腱和悬韧带损伤（TLIs）的发病率在NH赛马在训练中;描述所发生的损伤，并按马龄、驯马师、性别和背景比较损伤发生率方法：从14个英国NH训练场收集队列数据，用于2个比赛季节。每日运动方案和细节的骨折和TLI发生在研究horses.Results：数据收集从1223匹马，花了9466个月的受伤风险。骨折发生率为1.1/100马月，不同驯马师的骨折发生率差异显著（P
Reasons for performing study: While fractures and tendon injuries are known to be important diseases in National Hunt (NH) racehorses during racing, there are no accurate estimates of their incidence in NH training yards.Objectives: To estimate the incidence of fractures and tendon and suspensory ligament injuries (TLIs) in NH racehorses in training; to describe the injuries incurred and to compare injury incidence rates by horse age, trainer, gender and background (ex-flat vs. ex-store horses).Methods: Cohort data were collected from 14 UK NH training yards for 2 racing seasons. Daily exercise regimens and details of fractures and TLIs occurring in study horses were recorded.Results: Data were gathered from 1223 horses that spent 9466 months at risk of injury. The fracture incidence rate was 1.1/100 horse months and varied significantly by trainer (P
