摘要：The aim of this study is to investigate sports injuries seen in korfball players according to injuries’ areas and types. A total of 118 (55 female, 63 male) Korfball players participated in the study voluntarily. The mean age of the athletes was 21.26±1.90 years, the mean height was 176.73±10.16 cm and the mean body weight was 69.75±12.87 kg. The Scandinavian Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was used to assess the disability of athletes. The body was divided into nine sections: neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, back, waist, hip-thigh, knee, foot-ankle. Statistical package program was used to evaluate the data. The results were evaluated using frequency distribution and percentage distribution. When the highest frequency of injury was seen in 33.9% (n=40) of the foot-ankle, 19.5% (n=23) of the knee and 10.2% (n=12) of the back. The frequency of injury types by region is seen in the foot-ankle with 34.7% (n=41), knee with 19.5% (n=23), and in the back with 9.9% (n=12). According to the total frequency of injuries, it is seen that the biggest ratio is strain with 33% (n=39), sprain with 28% (n=33) and muscle pain with 14.3% (n=17). It has been found that a large proportion of injuries occur during training. The most common injuries were observed in the foot-ankle, knee and back regions. It is seen that 31.2% (n=37) of the athletes are treated in health institutions. Foot-ankle and knee injuries are the most common causes of injuries. As a result, it was determined that most of the korfball players were injured from foot-ankle, knee, back regions and the majority of these injuries occurred during trainings.
