Loss information was collected through a poll of players from 10 school groups for the Calicut College and University volleyball championship held in November 2013 at St. Mary's School, Sultanbathery, Wayanad. The age of the players was between 18 and 23 years..Players were asked to recall recent injuries. Out of a total of 93 players, 65 had persistent injuries. Lower extremity injuries were found to be overwhelming, with the lower leg and knee being the most commonly injured areas of the body. Most of the injuries were identified with delicate tissue and muscles and ligaments. The most widely recognized possibilities of climbing injuries were spiking (35.7), jumping (19.2), blocking (24.5), and setting (13.2) and others (7.4). There is a common belief that volleyball, particularly thebarrier, has showntocausemore damage.Muscle injuries appear to be the most persistent type. Spiking was the most widely recognized motive behind the injuries. This review demonstrates this and provides very helpful knowledge about the nature, incidence or rate and area of injuries in school volleyball players.
