Journal Title: International Journal of Sports and Exercise Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Sports injury is common among students, it occurs during sports or exercise activities such as football, basketball, volleyball. Most sports injuries affect the locomotor system, which are traumatic in most cases. Although great attention has been paid to their prevention and treatment, injury prevention is still a great challenge in rural Zunyi, a low-income area in southwest China. We attempted to describe the characteristics of sports injury among school-aged children and reveal the related factors of it, so as to add some evidence for effective prevention measures.
