College Basketball Injury Incidence and Risk Factors Among Amateur Students

480 amateur college student volunteers were investigated over a 12-week optional basketball course. The research from Xuzhou Medical College found an injury incidence of up to 90.7% among male students from childhood to adulthood, with 85.5% occurring during college years. The most vulnerable body parts identified were the wrist, ankle, knee, leg, head and face, shoulder, waist, and back.

Use Cases

• Analyze injury incidence rates based on reported 90.7% lifetime and 85.5% college-year figures
• Identify high-risk body parts for injury based on the described vulnerability ranking
• Investigate risk factors for sports injuries based on the analysis of playing age and weekly frequency mentioned
• Compare injury rates between student grades based on the reported differences between second and third-grade males

Strengths

• Study includes 480 college student volunteers
• Injury incidence rates are quantified with specific percentages (90.7%, 85.5%)
• Identifies specific vulnerable body parts (wrist, ankle, knee, etc.)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic or institutional bias inherent to a single medical college study
