Based on the questionnaire survey and the follow-up, 45 injuries of 34 athletes from the Yan'an Sports School's cross-country skiing team are analyzed, and the overall and gender-based injury incidence, as well as the injury locations and the anatomical regions, the correlation of the incidence of the strained injury vs. the acute injury, the relation of the recurrent injury vs. the new injury, are statistically analyzed. It is found that the incidence in the female athletes is higher than that in the male athletes. The strained injuries dominate. The lower limb injuries are more frequent than the upper limb injuries. All injuries are unimpaired injuries or minor injuries, and the recurrent injuries are more frequent than the new ones.
