  • Injuries mostly occurred during training sessions, but only a small percentage (16%) had to completely stop training due to injuries, indicating that many injuries might be manageable or less disruptive.
  • The research aimed to identify potential risk factors, such as training frequency and personal bests, but further details on how these factors relate to injury risk are not fully specified in the summary.]

@javnarsan @paubaresg @OdetteAS98 https://t.co/bdxjOGz27Z Seventy percent (73/104) of participants were currently injured, and 87% (83/95) had experienced an injury within the past 12 months. The lumbopelvic region, shoulder, and hip were the most commonly injured areas for both sexes.
