| Abstrakt: | A recent study conducted at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill analyzed catastrophic injuries and exertional medical events in lacrosse athletes in the US from 1982 to 2020. The research found that the incidence of catastrophic events was higher among collegiate athletes compared to high school or youth athletes, with sudden cardiac arrests and commotio cordis being the most common catastrophic events. The study also noted a significant decrease in fatality rates from catastrophic injuries over the study period, potentially due to protective measures implemented by lacrosse governing bodies.
