The
purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of the sports injuries in
15-17-year-old male athlete students participating on school teams (volleyball,
basketball, football and handball) and their level of knowledge about these
injuries. The sample of the research consists of 233 athlete students (n=89
footballers, n=37 volleyball players, n=46 basketball players and n=61 handball
players) in 15–17 age group participating on school teams of thirteen different
high schools in Kütahya. The questionnaire form developed was used to determine
the injuries in athlete students that participated in the study. The data was
analysed using SPSS version 22.0. According to the statistical analysis, it was
found that the athlete students who got injured most were of footballers with
%45.2 (n=47) and those who got injured least were volleyball players with %10.6
(n=11). It was seen that injuries occurred mostly during competitions (n=82).
The majority of the athlete students reported that they had very little (n=117)
and average (n=107) information on sports injuries. The results showed that
injuries occurred more in football and handball players and mostly during
competitions. Protective measures need to be taken in the sports, especially in
football, handball and basketball, where tackles are frequently experienced
during competitions. Also, it was seen that athlete students had very limited
knowledge about sports injuries.
