First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks for biological markers in the body that could warn athletes about potential injuries before they happen. Researchers will use advanced technology to analyze samples from 60 athletes aged 12-30 who have had a recent sports injury. The goal is to find patterns that help prevent injuries and improve training and recovery plans.

Who is studied
Athletes in sports, due to sudden external force or improper operation, resulting in body tissue damage in a short period of time. This injury usually has sudden and distinct traumatic features, and common types include: 1. Sprain: Joint due to excessive torsion or stretching, resulting in ligament damage. 2. Strain: An injury to a muscle or tendon caused by excessive stretching or contraction. 3. Contusion: A direct impact on the body part causes damage to the subcutaneous tissue, which may be accompanied by bruising. 4. Fracture: The bone is broken due to external force. 5. Dislocation: The joint is removed from its normal position due to external forces.
