This study investigated peak impact and push-off reaction forces during skating in sledge hockey to understand stresses on load-bearing limbs and predict potential overuse injuries. Five able-bodied male athletes propelled themselves off-ice using a sledge and motion capture was used to measure ground reaction forces. Results showed impacts of 1.2-3.1 times body weight created stresses on each arm for initiation, while push-offs generated 0.3-0.4 times body weight. Impacts posed greater injury risk than push-offs, with potential for shoulder and muscle soreness. Proper mechanics, weight training and care were recommended to protect shoulders.
