Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The participation of women in high-impact sports such as rugby and basketball has been steadily increasing in Saudi Arabia. These sports are known for their physical demands and competitive nature, which have heightened the incidence of sports-related injuries. Understanding the predictive factors for these injuries is critical for developing preventive strategies, reducing long-term health consequences, and reducing healthcare burdens. Therefore, this study aims to identify the predictive effect of physiological factors (e.g., muscle strength, anaerobic power, oxygen consumption) and psychological factors (e.g., self-efficacy, resilience) on sports injuries among female athletes in Saudi Arabia, particularly focusing on those involved in rugby and basketball.

A prospective cross-sectional design will be employed, involving a total of 30 female athletes aged 18-35 years actively participating in rugby and basketball. Data will be collected at the lifestyle research center through a series of physiological assessments, including maximal oxygen consumption, anaerobic power testing, isokinetic muscle strength testing, and psychological evaluations using validated questionnaires. The findings are expected to provide insights into the specific factors that increase injury risk among Saudi female athletes, offering targeted strategies for injury prevention. These strategies aim not only to minimize injuries but also to reduce associated healthcare costs, thereby supporting the sustainable growth of women's sports in Saudi Arabia. Ultimately, this study seeks to contribute to the broader objectives of Vision 2030 by promoting a vibrant sports culture and enhancing public health.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Injury risk was evaluated using the Lower Extremity Functional Test (LEFT), which involves eight agility drills performed consecutively on a diamond-shaped course without rest intervals. The test includes eight components-forward run, backward run, side shuffle, carioca, figure-eight run, 45-degree cuts, 90-degree cuts, and a counter vertical jump-along with the single-leg hop for distance, following a standardized testing protocol known to predict injury risk. Participants who took longer to complete the test were categorized into the high injury risk group, while those with shorter completion times were classified into the low injury risk group.
