Abstract

With the proportion of adolescents participating in sports increasing year by year, the problem of sports injuries is of increasing concern, and this study aims to investigate its main causes and effective prevention strategies. The adolescent population is at an elevated risk of sports injuries at a developmental stage when their physical maturation is not yet complete. Thus, comprehensive studies are imperative to elucidate the associated factors and effective interventions. This study employed a qualitative approach to analyze the common causes of injuries, including over-training, improper technique, and lack of protection, as identified in the existing literature. The results show that the risk of injury can be greatly reduced by enhancing the pre-exercise warm-up, imparting proper technique instruction, developing individualized training programs, and reinforcing safety education in both home and academic settings. This study may serve as a reference for preventing sports injuries in adolescents, thereby providing preliminary recommendations, aiming to support healthy growth and athletic development in adolescents.
