Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to compare the epidemiology of softball-related injuries between high school and collegiate female athletes in the U.S. from 2015 to 2024, utilizing data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). Their findings revealed that college-aged athletes experienced a significantly higher incidence of injuries compared to high school athletes, with notable differences in injury patterns and treatment outcomes. This study underscores the need for targeted preventive strategies to address the higher injury burden among collegiate athletes.
