    Abstract

    In 2016–17, almost 60,000 people were hospitalised for sports injuries. Males were more than twice as likely to be hospitalised as females. For males, the sports that most frequently led to hospitalisation were football (all codes) (38%), cycling (12%) and wheeled motor sports (8%). For females, they were football (15%), netball (10%; 13% when combined with basketball) and equestrian activities (11%).
