Detailed description

In order to assess the prevalence of acute injuries in amateur and elite mountain bikers a questionnaire was created in accordance to existing literature. The questionnaire was translated in several languages by bilingual people familiar with mountain biking. The questionnaire focussed on demographic data, training volume, number of races per year, number of injuries since practising mountain biking, wearing of protective gear items and accident mechanism. The survey was conducted during the Swiss Epic Mountain Bike Event in 2017. All riders were asked to voluntarily participate in the survey.
