What is the least safest sport?

As evaluated by High School RIO, football clearly has the highest concussion rate among all sports. Football players were more than twice as likely to have reported concussions than lacrosse, the next closest boys sport.

Results

Data were compiled by the Aspen Institute. Each measurement was standardized to create a Z-score so the measures were transformed onto the same scale. All Z-scores have a mean (average) of 0, and a standard deviation of 1 within a sport as: Z-scores that are greater than 0 (positive Z-scores) indicate a sport that is better than average. For example, if a sport has a Z-score of 1.5, this indicates that the sport is 1.5 standard deviations above the average for all of the sports for that measure. The Overall Final Scores listed below are all shown as standardized scores; the measurements within those categories that are listed below are listed just by their data, though they were also standardized.

OVERALL FINAL SCORES

Boys Sport Score Tennis 1.018 Swimming 1.01 Cross Country 0.864 Track and Field 0.608 Baseball 0.084 Basketball -0.048 Soccer -0.09 Wrestling -0.834 Lacrosse -0.841 Football -1.772 Girls Sport Score Tennis 1.013 Cross Country 0.756 Swimming 0.736 Track and Field 0.678 Softball 0.064 Volleyball 0.047 Cheerleading -0.539 Lacrosse -0.604 Basketball -0.738 Soccer -1.415 Analysis: Boys and girls tennis emerged as the safest sports, with very few overall injuries, concussions, time loss due to injuries, surgeries, and catastrophic injuries. Not surprisingly, several contact sports (football, boys and girls lacrosse, wrestling) scored near the bottom. Football’s overall safety score was by far the lowest among boys sports, a byproduct of finishing seventh or lower out of 10 sports in all of the categories. Soccer had a significantly lower score than any other girls sport. Worth noting: There was not a huge gap in final scores for the top four sports in each gender. Tennis, swimming, cross country and track and field were all relatively close for boys and girls. The gap became larger at No. 5 with baseball and softball. Girls basketball scored lower than boys basketball due in part to girls having higher overall injury and concussion rates and more surgeries.

OVERALL INJURY RATES

Boys Sport Injuries Per 10,000 Exposures Swimming 2.1 Tennis 3.7 Cross Country 6.9 Track and Field 7 Baseball 9.3 Basketball 15.5 Soccer 18.3 Wrestling 22.7 Lacrosse 23.1 Football 41.3 Girls Sport Injuries Per 10,000 Exposures Swimming 3 Tennis 3.3 Cheerleading 9.1 Track and Field 10.4 Cross Country 10.7 Volleyball 11.5 Softball 12.7 Lacrosse 16.3 Basketball 19.6 Soccer 26.6 Analysis: Girls sustained more injuries than boys, a common occurrence found in other research. The Healthy Sport Index evaluated eight sports with comparable boys and girls sports; girls had higher injury rates in six of the eight sports. Only tennis and lacrosse saw more injuries by boys. In 2017, researchers at the University of North Carolina found a 59-percent increase in ACL injuries among girls ages 13-17 over a 13-year period, citing a lack of neuromuscular strength training. The incidence of ACL tears in female athletes has been found to be 2 to 10 times higher than in male counterparts. Reasons cited by experts as to why girls are more vulnerable to ACL injuries than boys include estrogen, landing flat-footed, wider pelvis, more lax ligaments, slower reflex time, weaker quadriceps/hamstring strength ratio, running upright, and less developed quads. Not surprisingly, football had the highest rate of injuries in either gender across all sports. The data showed high school football players were almost two times more likely to be injured than the next closest boys sport, lacrosse. Swimming sustained the fewest injuries for both boys and girls.

CONCUSSION RATES

Boys Sport Concussions Per 10,000 Exposures Track and Field 0.1 Cross Country 0.2 Tennis 0.3 Swimming 0.8 Baseball 1 Basketball 2.2 Soccer 3.3 Wrestling 3.8 Lacrosse 4.6 Football 10.2 Girls Sport Concussions Per 10,000 Exposures Cross Country 0 Tennis 0 Track and Field 0.5 Swimming 0.6 Softball 2.4 Volleyball 3.1 Cheerleading 4.1 Basketball 4.2 Lacrosse 4.2 Soccer 7.1 Analysis: Again, girls tended to sustain concussions at higher rates than boys in 2016-17, with the notable exception of football. For instance, while boys soccer players averaged 3.3 concussions per 10,000 exposures, the rate was more than doubled for girls soccer (7.1 concussions per 10,000 exposures). Girls basketball players were almost two times more likely to have a reported concussion than their boy counterparts, though these are still relatively low rates. According to a 2017 study by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), girls were 12.1 percent more likely to sustain a concussion than boys. The study tracked high school sport concussions from High School RIO between 2005 and 2015. The researchers concluded that girls sustain more concussions than boys because the neck muscles of girls aren’t as developed as boys, increased risk due to a lack of protective equipment available for female athletes, and an increased emphasis on physical play for girls. It’s also possible that girls simply report their concussion symptoms more than boys, given a sports culture where boys often believe they must play through pain. The AAOS results generated national media coverage because they showed football ranked fourth on the list of concussions as a percentage of total injuries, behind girls soccer, girls volleyball and girls basketball. That finding is due to football having a higher number of total injuries, plus different types of injuries. As evaluated by High School RIO, football clearly has the highest concussion rate among all sports. Football players were more than twice as likely to have reported concussions than lacrosse, the next closest boys sport.
