Abstract
Abstract
Introduction :Judo, a martial art and Olympic sport involving both standing and ground combat, stands as one of the most widely practiced Asian martial arts globally. Gaining insights into the prevalence and causes of injuries among judokas is essential for the development of effective prevention programs. While Competitive Aggressiveness and Anger are identified as potential risk factors, their specific association with injuries in judokas necessitates further exploration.
Objective:This study aims to investigate the epidemiology of risk among Iranian judokas and explore the relationship between injuries and various factors, including Competitive Aggressiveness and Anger.
Method :An online survey, distributed through social media, collected data on personal and training characteristics, Competitive Aggressiveness, Anger, and injuries experienced by judokas over the past six months. The data were analyzed descriptively and through logistic regression .
Result : The study collected data from 148 responses. The findings revealed that 66.9% of judokas reported at least one injury, with the most commonly affected areas being the ankle (17.8%), followed by the shoulder (14.8%) and knee (13.3%). Factors associated with injuries included Aggressiveness and Anger (odds ratio (OR): 1.20; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06-1.35), training experience between 2 and 5 years (OR: 5.43; CI: 1.76-16.75), and being overweight (OR: 5.24; CI: 1.53-17.90) were found to be linked with injuries in judokas . These factors together explained 26% of the variance in injuries in judokas. A separate regression analysis showed that Competitive Aggressiveness and Anger explain 17% of the variance injuries in judokas.
Conclusion :The identification of Competitive Aggressiveness and Anger as associated factors with injuries in judokas offers new insights into the multifaceted causes of injuries in this population. Therefore, it is recommended that, in addition to common risk factors, Aggressiveness and Anger be considered in guidance on the prevention and management of injuries in judokas.
