Brief Summary

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

Although studies in the literature have used thermography for injury prevention and performance monitoring in various sports, no systematic validation of the method has been conducted in volleyball players. This study aims to determine whether thermography is a reliable and standardized tool for injury risk assessment.
