Descriptive analysis reveals injury causes in middle school students, highlighting a need for preventive measures.
Aim. This study analyzed the prevalence and causes of sports injuries among middle school students and evaluated the effectiveness of a preventive-rehabilitation program. Material and method. A descriptive-analytical design was applied to 120 students using questionnaires and observations. Data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics. Results. Ankle sprains (23.3%), finger injuries (18.3%), and hamstring strains (14.2%) were the most frequent. Students in the program showed fewer injuries (X̄= 1.04 vs. 1.73), greater preventive awareness (8.2 vs. 5.1), and better motor performance (16.7 vs. 13.8). Significant correlations were found between program participation and awareness (r = 0.72, p < 0.01). Conclusions. The framework reduced injury rates and improved awareness, supporting its inclusion in school physical education.
