Understanding the diverse factors influencing physical activity-related injuries is crucial for developing effective interventions that enable individuals to participate in physical activity (PA) while minimizing injury risk. Currently, research evidence on the multiple factors associated with PA-related injuries is inadequate. This study aimed to examine the associations between PA-related injuries and various biological, psychological, and social factors among first-year university students in China.
We recruited first-year university students from Shantou University in Guangdong Province, China, to participate in our study. Data collection employed a structured self-administered questionnaire, gathering information on PA-related injuries, as well as relevant biological, psychological, and social factors. Binary logistic regression, using a stepwise modeling approach, was employed for the data analysis.
Among 1,051 first-year university students, 28.16% reported having experienced PA-related injuries in the past year. Most of the injuries reported were minor, with the knee or lower leg being the most frequently injured part of the body. Improper posture, environmental conditions, and excessive physical load were the leading causes of PA-related injuries. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that female students (OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.47-0.94, = 0.022) had reduced odds of PA-related injuries. Conversely, high neuroticism (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.07-2.41, = 0.022), being a member of a sports team (OR = 2.09, 95% CI: 1.34-3.27, < 0.001), PA on the wet ground (OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.18-2.54, = 0.005) increased the odds of PA-related injuries.
Our findings underscore the intricate interplay of various factors contributing to PA-related injuries. Identifying high-risk individuals based on physiological and psychological characteristics, coupled with targeted interventions addressing modifiable risk factors, is crucial for effective prevention.
了解影响与体力活动相关损伤的各种因素对于制定有效的干预措施至关重要，这些措施可以使个体在参与体力活动（PA）的同时最大限度地降低受伤风险。目前，关于与 PA 相关损伤相关的多种因素的研究证据还不够充分。本研究旨在探讨中国大一学生中与 PA 相关的损伤与各种生物、心理和社会因素之间的关联。
我们从中国广东省汕头大学招募了大一学生参与我们的研究。数据收集采用了结构化的自我管理问卷，收集了与 PA 相关的损伤以及相关生物、心理和社会因素的信息。使用逐步建模方法的二元逻辑回归用于数据分析。
在 1051 名大一学生中，28.16%报告在过去一年中经历过与 PA 相关的损伤。报告的大多数损伤为轻度，最常受伤的身体部位是膝盖或小腿。不当姿势、环境条件和过度的体力负荷是导致与 PA 相关的损伤的主要原因。多变量逻辑回归分析显示，女学生（OR=0.67，95%CI：0.47-0.94， = 0.022）受伤的可能性较低。相反，高神经质（OR=1.61，95%CI：1.07-2.41， = 0.022）、是运动队成员（OR=2.09，95%CI：1.34-3.27， < 0.001）、在湿地上进行 PA（OR=1.73，95%CI：1.18-2.54， = 0.005）增加了与 PA 相关的损伤的可能性。
我们的研究结果强调了各种因素之间复杂的相互作用，这些因素导致了与 PA 相关的损伤。根据生理和心理特征确定高风险个体，并针对可改变的风险因素进行有针对性的干预，对于有效的预防至关重要。
