    AbstractFrequency and mechanisms of injuries in field hockey are evaluated in a retrospective study of 322 players. Each athlete sustains 0.6 (female) respectively 1.0 (male) injuries per season on the average, mostly minor lesions. Severe injuries are mostly due to the playing surface; especially astroturf seems to be dangerous. The risk during match exceeds the risk during practice by a factor of 10.36% are typical field hockey injuries as they are caused by ball or stick. 62% of the lesions are related to the lower limb, 19% to the upper limb (mainly hand and fingers), and 19% to head and trunk. The data allow to draw conclusions concerning preventive measures.
