The most commonly injured body sites for boys and girls, respectively, were the lower extremities (38.0%, 56.4%) and the head\/neck (28.3%, 29.8%). More specifically, the most frequently diagnosed injuries for both boys and girls, respectively, in competitions were concussions (23.1%, 25.6%), ankle ligament sprains (7.8%, 15.3%), upper leg strains (4.8%, 6.7%), and knee ligament sprains (4.2%, 6.7%). The most cited mechanism of injury overall was contact with another player (22.0%); among boys, it was contact with a stick (14.8%) and among girls, the most frequent mechanisms were overuse (25.0%) and contact with a stick (14.7%).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Injury rates and mechanisms of injuries differed between high school boys' and girls' lacrosse players. Boys had a higher rate of injury, with the most common mechanism of injury being contact with another player compared with overuse in girls. However, similarities were seen between sexes for the most frequently injured body sites and injury diagnoses. Future authors should continue to compare differences in injury rates, equipment upgrades, and rule changes in boys' and girls' lacrosse.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-312-17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,19]],"date-time":"2018-11-19T16:39:19Z","timestamp":1542645559000},"page":"1049-1055","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["A Comparison of High School Boys' and Girls' Lacrosse Injuries: Academic Years 2008\u20132009 Through 2015\u20132016"],"prefix":"10.4085","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Keegan","family":"Warner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Michigan State University, East Lansing"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Savage","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Michigan State University, East Lansing"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher M.","family":"Kuenze","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Michigan State University, East Lansing"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandria","family":"Erkenbeck","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Colorado School of Public Health, Aurora"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.
