| Abstract |
Basketball is a popular sport worldwide, but it is also associated with a high risk of injury. This
research article focuses on the impact of basketball injuries on player performance and health,
as seen from the perspective of the players themselves. A systematic review of existing
literature on the topic was conducted, and As an amateur basketball player, I share my
personal perspective and experience regarding basketball injuries and its effects.
The results of this study indicate that basketball injuries have a significant impact on both the
physical and mental health of players. The most commonly reported injuries were ankle
sprains and knee injuries all of which had a negative impact on players' ability to perform at
their best. Players also reported experiencing psychological stress and anxiety due to the fear
of getting injured again or being unable to play.
Despite the risks associated with basketball injuries, players continue to play the sport due to
their love for the game and the opportunities it presents. The study recommends that players
be educated on injury prevention strategies and provided with the necessary resources to
address injuries when they occur. Additionally, the findings highlight the need for better
support systems for injured players to ensure a smooth recovery and return to play.
In conclusion, this research article sheds light on the impact of basketball injuries on player
performance and health from the players' perspective. It emphasizes the need for greater
awareness and support for injury prevention and management in basketball, with the goal of
improving player safety and overall well-being. |
