5. Conclusions
fractures, injuries, bruises
Findings revealed that boys were 3.52 times more likely to have PA-related injuries than girls. More specific knowledge was associated with a lower likelihood of sustaining a PA-related injury. In contrast, increased SB was associated with a greater likelihood of sustaining a PA-related injury. Bruises and strains were the most common types of sports injuries among boys, while bruises and fractures were the most common injuries among girls. The limbs were the most injured body parts in boys, whereas the head and lower limbs were the most vulnerable parts in girls. Of the injuries reported, 23.37% required urgent medical attention and participants aged 15 to 17 were the most vulnerable to repetitive injuries (three or more) in various body parts (two or more), primarily the head and the trunk.
