Abstract:

In consequence of increased performance expectation for athletes, more frequency of sport injuries was recorded. Sport injuries reasons can be classified for either internal or external factors. External factors include training methods and equipment, environment and insufficient warm-up and condition. Internal factors include age, sex, muscle strength, flexibility and length difference for extremity. Besides that, rehabilitation effectiveness can also influence treatment period. The aim of this study was to determine injuries frequency, factors that may be affective on these injuries and frequency of physiotherapist choices on individuals from Physical Education and Sport Sciences College in Islamic Azad University. This study was conducted on 22 females and 68 males via survey method. Total 90 participants in this study were responded by the questionnaire and survey of specialist, researchers and physiotherapists and all questions were responded by him/her. As a result, all athletes indicated to injury that the highest injury rate of 79.2% posterior of left knee in athletes, 42.2% from same sides, sudden initiation of injury as 78.9% and 22.2% after crushing with other player. The most affecting factors to all injuries were the most 67.8% in the sports hall, during training as 51.1%, the most 31.1% while jumping, outdoor activities as 65.6% and 63.3% at warm weather condition. Therefore, all athletes were no wear the orthosis and taping material during injury (81%) and done with the treatments after injury to physical therapist as 12.2% as that they were known about physical therapist as the profession. It seems that most of our athletes don not know about benefits of physiotherapists to protection and treatment injury. Then, it is better to inform them. Also, this study was discussed type of activity, regions and the highest rates of injuries and the role of physiotherapist in the club or during therapy.
