NCT ID NCT07026383
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is looking at 60 female rugby and basketball players in Saudi Arabia to understand how their physical fitness (like muscle strength and oxygen use) and mental traits (like confidence and resilience) relate to their risk of getting injured. The goal is to find ways to prevent injuries and support women's sports in the country. It is an observational study, meaning no treatment is given—just tests and questionnaires.

- If successful, this study could point toward better injury prevention strategies for female athletes in Saudi Arabia, reducing long-term health issues and healthcare costs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study with only 60 participants, so findings may not apply to all athletes. It identifies risk factors but does not test any treatment.
