Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the injury types and recovery characteristics after sports injuries of high school baseball players at each position. Four baseball teams of high schools located in Jeollanam-do were selected as population. A questionnaire was conducted with 84 high school baseball players to analyze sports injury characteristics. Frequency and percentage were verified using descriptive statistics to analyze injury characteristics. Cross-tabulation analysis(Chi-square, x2) was used to test the difference in injury parts at each position. The level of statistical significance was set at p＜.05. The following conclusions are drawn.<BR>The most frequent place of injury was the place for training. The highest injury part was an elbow and a shoulder. Injuries frequently occurred during group training and a sprain was the highest type of injury. The highest injury motion during games was pitching a ball. The most common reason for injury was self-carelessness.<BR>This study analyzed recovery characteristics after sports injuries in high school baseball players. As a result, the highest period for the return to play was 2-3 weeks and 4-5 months after injury. The response of complete treatment was high as 66.6%(‘agree’ and ‘strongly agree’). However, re-injury also occurred in more than half of respondents(58.3%).<BR>In conclusion, it is necessary to wear protective gear during training and devise injury prevention strategies to reduce the injuries of high school baseball players. The findings of this study will be helpful to develop and apply a conditioning program for season and off-season to prevent high school baseball players from injuries.
