Determinants of the severity of sports injuries among students in sports disciplines at higher education institutions by Mingxi Li, Mingxi Li, Junwei Wang, Jisheng Xu, Yi Jia

“…Univariate analysis showed that BMI, time of day, temperature perception, adherence to technique, warm-up activities, physiological condition, training duration, and vital capacity were statistically significant. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated. Factors significantly associated with increased severity of sports injuries included body mass index (BMI) categorized as underweight or overweight (OR = 1.761, p = 0.001), afternoon training sessions (OR = 1.499, p = 0.012), evening training sessions (OR = 1.888, p = 0.003), presence of illness or injury (OR = 1.785, p = 0.004), training duration of 12 h or more per week (OR = 1.355, p = 0.047) were positively correlated with the occurrence of severe sports injuries, and minimal warm-up activities (OR = 0.701, p = 0.015) was negatively correlated with the occurrence of severe sports injuries.ConclusionBMI, training time, physiological state, weekly training duration, and warm-up practices significantly affect sports injury severity. …”
