Abstract

This study aims to analyze the physical profiles and sports-related injuries in a track and field team. A total of 31 participants, from both genders, from the medical college’s track and field team were included. Data on their physical characteristics were collected, and participants responded to a survey adapted from the “NCAA Injury Surveillance System.” Among them, 65% reported at least one injury, with 73.9% of the injuries categorized as severe. The injury rate was 0.27 injuries per 1000 hours of exposure. Injured athletes demonstrated a practice time twice that of their uninjured counterparts. Injuries to the quadriceps and shin accounted for 52.17% of the reported injuries. This study suggests that collegiate athletics poses a substantial risk of severe sports injuries, particularly in the lower body. A key contributing factor appears to be the duration of practice time.
