Injury Risk Factors in Volleyball Players

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This cross-sectional study will collect standardized physical tests and self-report questionnaires from competitive adult volleyball players to explore how pain, fatigue, muscle strength, balance, and quality of life interact and relate to injury risk. The goal is to identify combinations of factors that may signal higher likelihood of injury. Participants will undergo physical evaluations and complete surveys, contributing to a snapshot of how these variables cluster with injury history risk. The findings could help inform injury prevention strategies in volleyball teams and athletic programs.
