Relationship between medical and health procedures and sports injuries in senior football players

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between medical and health procedures and sports injuries in senior football players in Medea, Algeria. The study used a descriptive-analytical approach with a survey methodology. The sample included all senior football players in Medea for the 2022-2023 season. Striving to enhance player health and reduce athletic injuries, we propose a multifaceted approach: regular, thorough medical assessments for accurate health monitoring, comprehensive educational materials and programs promoting preventative healthcare practices, and clear communication of the direct impact of medical procedures on injury rates. By implementing these measures, we can build a robust healthcare framework that prioritizes player well-being and minimizes the risk of sports-related injuries. The study also found that a large proportion of players in the sample consume stimulants such as coffee and tea. However, the majority of players do not smoke or use drugs or doping.
