Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
sports injuries are inevitable and integral components of sport and physical activities. The aim of this study was to identify the extent and causes of sports injuries in footsall players of Ahwaz universities. The study population was70 footsall players from the footsall teams of Ahwaz universities that have had a history of sport injury. Regarding the small population size, study population and sample size were equal. Data collection was done using a teacher made questionnaire which was provided by previous researches. Face validity of the questionnaire confirmed by a group of experts in sports medicine and physical education teachers. The validity of the questionnaire was KMO=0.74. In order to determine the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and split half were used and the obtained values were 0.81 and 0.72 respectively. For data analysis, descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, etc.) and inferential (Friedman test, Spearman correlation test and Chi Ka) were used. of research hypotheses considered (= 0.05). Results showed the most frequent injury was observed in muscle-tendon form and the ankle had the highest rate of injuries. Also, the injuries were observed significantly higher in lower extremities than upper extremities. The results also showed no significant relationship between age, height and weight of subjects with incidence of sports injuries. In addition, the main causes of injuries were the use of non-standard equipments and sport facilities such as inappropriate shoes, hall flooring and crashing in games. Given the greater incidence of injury among athletes because of inadequate facilities such as unsuitable flooring and sport shoes, responsible (administrators, coaches, teachers…) can use the appropriate and standards facilities and sport equipments to minimize the incidence of sport injuries.
