The aim of the study was the attempt to determine the specifics of injuries suffered by people who do snowboarding recreationally. On account of the low number of cases one should determine the work as descriptive study. Methods. The research material was a group of 40 persons aged 18-30 practicing snowboarding. The research tool was a questionnaire prepared by the research authors. Results and Conclusions. The most frequent type of injury suffered by the questioned snowboarders was contusion (67,5%) and dislocation (50%) of joints. Injuries concerned the upper limb mainly (injures of the wrist/palm-50% of all) and the basic form of physical therapy applied in the examined group was criotherapy.
