Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Do athletes with a specific profile (lower values in athletic performance tests, low values in quality of life) evaluated at one time point, suffer injury in the future in annual observation?
* Do athletes with high sports specialization will sustain injury in one-year follow-up?
* Does sports specialization have a relationship with sports performance tests, and quality of life?
* Does sport specialisation, training volume, geographical factor relate to injury history?
* Does sports specialisation, injury history differ between sports (individual and team sports)?
* Does value of the specific muscle (lower limb) isometric strength will be associated with the dynamic balance scores in young healthy athletes?
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* participant characteristics (age, biological age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, sports experience, training workload, sports specialization, history of injuries)
* sports performance (value of dynamic balance, isometric strength of lower limbs, functional movement patterns)
* quality of life and health assessment (EQ-5D-Y)
* geographical factor (Rural, Urban)
* Sports (Individual, Team)
* History of Injuries (Localization, Type)
One-year after meetings, there will be send questionaire and phone-call to participants and their coaches/parents in order to obtain information about injuries (location, type, time-loss, etc.).
