Purpose: To evaluate whether cumulative impact load and serum biomarkers are related to lower-extremity injury and to determine any impact load and cartilage biomarker relationships in collegiate female basketball athletes. Methods: This was a prospective longitudinal study evaluating lower-extremity impact load, serum cartilage biomarkers, and injury incidence over the course of a single collegiate women’s basketball season. Data were collected from August 2022 to April 2023; no other follow-up after the cessation of the season was conducted in this cohort. Inclusion criteria for the study included collegiate women’s basketball athletes, ages 18 to 25 years, who were noninjured at the start of the study time frame (August 2024). Cartilage synthesis (procollagen II carboxy propeptide and aggrecan chondroitin sulfate 846 epitope) and degradation (collagen type II cleavage) biomarkers were evaluated at 6 season timepoints. Impact load metrics (cumulative bone stimulus, impact intensity) were collected during practices using inertial measurement units secured to the distal medial tibiae. Injury was defined as restriction of participation for 1 or more days beyond day of initial injury. Cumulative impact load metrics were calculated over the week before any documented injury and blood draws for analysis. Point biserial and Pearson product moment correlations were used to determine the relationship between impact load metrics, serum biomarkers, and injury. Results: Eleven collegiate women’s basketball athletes (height: 1.86 meters, mass: 82.0 kg, age: 20.54 years) participated. Greater medium-range (6-20 g) cumulative impact intensities during week 5 and 6 for both limbs (r = 0.674, P = .023) and high-range (20-200 g) during week 8 for both limbs (0.672, P = .024) were associated with injury. Greater cumulative bone stimulus was associated with increased procollagen II carboxy propeptide levels before conference playoffs for right (r = 0.694, P = .026) and left (r = 0.747, P = .013) limbs. Greater chondroitin sulfate 846 epitope levels at off-season-1 (r = 0.729, P = .017), and at the beginning of the competitive season (r = 0.645, P = .044) were associated with season-long injury incidence. Conclusions: In this study, we found that moderate-to-high intensity impacts (6-200 g) early in the season were associated with subsequent injury among female collegiate basketball players. Increased cartilage synthesis at various time points was correlated with increased cumulative bone stimulus metrics and season-long injury incidence in this population. Level of Evidence: Level IV, prognostic case series. |
