Abstract
The prevalence, types, and causes of sports injuries among Kho-Kho players in various age groups were examined in this study. Data was gathered from 213 athletes (88 men and 125 women) who were divided into four groups: Under-14, Under-17, Under-19, and Senior. A standardized 45-item questionnaire created with expert input was used to gather data. The results showed that acute injuries were most prevalent (46.1%), followed by chronic injuries (24.41%), and both acute and chronic injuries in different places (29.58%). Bones accounted for 41.31% of injuries, with muscles (38.03%), ligaments (14.08%), and tendons (6.57%) following closely behind. The most common site of injury was the leg (29.6%), followed by the knee (13.6%) and the arm (6.4%).
Falling was the most common cause of injury (52.11%), while sprains were the most common injury type (45.07%). A significant percentage (92.96%) sought medical advice, primarily for previous injuries (64.32%). Both before and after treatment, recurrences of injuries were observed, and some athletes (40.38%) had side effects. These results emphasize the significant risk of injuries in Kho-Kho and the importance of adequate rehabilitation, appropriate training methods, and preventive measures.
