Encouraging physical activity (PA) for adolescents is necessary to achieve and maintain optimal health, but it may increase the risk of PA-related injuries. This study sought to assess the frequency, location, type, and severity of PA-related injuries in Saudi students aged 13 to 18 years and to identify associated risk factors. A total of 402 students, including 206 boys aged 15.87 ± 1.69 years and 196 girls aged 15.83 ± 1.70 years, were randomly assigned to participate in this study. For each participant, height, weight, body mass index, and fat percentage were measured. Responses to a specially designed four-part self-administered questionnaire were also collected. Results revealed that better specific knowledge was associated with a lower likelihood of sustaining injuries (β = -0.136; = 0.001) but increased sedentary behaviors were associated with a greater likelihood of sustaining a PA-related injury (β = 0.358; = 0.023). Gender, knowledge, and sedentary behaviors were the factors overall associated with a greater likelihood of suffering 1, 2, and 3 or more PA-related injuries. However, gender, fat-free mass, knowledge, and sedentary behaviors were associated overall with a greater likelihood of bruises, strains, fractures, sprains, concussions, and at least two types of PA-related injuries. Collectively, we should pay attention to the PA-related injury problem among middle and high school students, particularly when promoting a physically active lifestyle.
鼓励青少年进行身体活动（PA）对于实现和维持最佳健康状态是必要的，但它可能会增加与 PA 相关的伤害风险。本研究旨在评估沙特 13 至 18 岁学生中与 PA 相关的伤害的频率、地点、类型和严重程度，并确定相关的危险因素。共有 402 名学生参与了这项研究，其中包括 206 名 15.87 ± 1.69 岁的男孩和 196 名 15.83 ± 1.70 岁的女孩。为每位参与者测量了身高、体重、体重指数和体脂百分比。还收集了对专门设计的四部分自我管理问卷的回答。结果表明，更好的特定知识与受伤的可能性降低相关（β = -0.136；p = 0.001），但久坐行为增加与更有可能发生与 PA 相关的伤害相关（β = 0.358；p = 0.023）。性别、知识和久坐行为是整体上与遭受 1、2 和 3 次或更多次与 PA 相关的伤害的可能性增加相关的因素。然而，性别、去脂体重、知识和久坐行为与总体上更有可能发生瘀伤、拉伤、骨折、扭伤、脑震荡以及至少两种类型的与 PA 相关的伤害相关。总的来说，我们应该关注中学生和高中生的与 PA 相关的伤害问题，特别是在提倡积极的生活方式时。
