This study aimed to identify the most common sports injuries among practitioners of aerobics in Jordan, and to identify areas of the most prone to injury and their causes. The randomly selected sample (n=350) consisted of females practitioners of aerobics at the fitness centers in Amman-Jordan, where (180) participants were having injuries. The descriptive approach was used and Sports Injuries Checklist was distributed. Results showed that the body positions most prone to injury was the shoulder joint 18.6%, and the most frequently occurring type of injuries was muscles rupture 24.2%, and that the lack of good warm-up was the most common cause of sports injuries 22.2%. The researchers recommend good pre-exercise warm-up, and avoid overtraining.

“…Thus, preventative measures should be performed by participants. The researchers recommended that individuals undergo a physical and a medical evaluation before engaging in physical activity at fitness centres (Mujalli et al, 2016). Basic sports injuries are highly encouraged to every sports trainee that takes part in sports association to improve their knowledge and applied to their client.…”

Risk analysis consists of three elements which are risk management, risk communication, and risk assessment. The risk occurs in many ways and conditions while exercising mostly in the fitness industry. Therefore, the purpose of this study aims to examine the currently available literature that focuses on risk analysis and fitness facilities in the fitness industry. A comprehensive survey of online data source (Scopus and Web of Science All Collection), as well as conference proceeding of possibly related papers, were analyzed. The search was limited to research that was published in English and had complete text access. All of these resources were gone through, using key search words and equivalents for fitness facilities, fitness centre with risk analysis, risk management, risk communication and risk assessment. 33 studies were record screened from 94 total number of records after duplicate and only a few studies were accepted for review which are eight theses was selected in qualitative synthesis and seven studies selected in the quantitative synthesis. The data were sort from the two published studies (Scopus and Web of Science). Results found that 15 dissertations and/or theses were submitted to systematic quality analysis. The findings systematically evaluate cross-sectional observation-based studies indicating risk analysis is critical for maintaining the fitness industry's surroundings safe and pristine when participating in any physical activity, particularly at a fitness facility. Analyses suggest that the assumption that risk analysis has a significant influence on the impression of being able to control future accidents. In conclusion, applying the management of risk analysis in fitness facilities is important in the fitness industry.

“…Several studies follow the Pascal approach to investigate the injuries. For example, Mujalli et al (15) investigated 272 common sports injuries among physical activities practitioners at the physical fitness centers in Jordan. Results showed that the most common sports injury was muscular tears 27.7%, followed by muscle spasms 20.7%, and ligament tears 20.2%.…”

To describe the epidemiology of the type and severity of musculoskeletal injuries sustained by Kuwaiti track and field athletes from different sporting clubs during a one-year period from October 2015 to October 2016, and to compare their rates of overuse and acute injuries. Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Setting: All injury data was reported and recorded by Sports Medicine and Health Awareness Center (SMHAC) -Public Authority for Sports in The State of Kuwait.Participants: Track and field Kuwaiti male athletes from different sporting clubs during a one-year period from October 2015 to October 2016. A total of 54 Subjects consisted of 19 sprinters and hurdles, 18 middle and long distance, 10 jumpers and 7 throwers.Main Outcome Measure(s): All injury data was obtained and analyzed from The (SMHAC) computer software. Results: During the study period a total of 334 musculoskeletal injuries from different sports were diagnosed and recorded by physiotherapists in (SMHAC). A total of 54 injuries were reported from male track and field athletes, which accounted for 16.2% of the total of 334 musculoskeletal injuries during 2015-2016 sports season. Track athletes (sprinting and running) suffered more injures 37 (68.5%) than field athletes (throwing and jumping) 17 (31.4%). In addition, sprinters, hurdlers, and middle-distance runners sustained more acute type injuries, whereas jumpers and throwers experienced more overuse type injuries. The most common sites of injury was the knee 20 (37.0%), thigh 9 (16.7%%), ankle 7 (12.9%), back 5 (9.3%), elbow 5 (9.3%) and shoulder 3 (5.6%). The most common major musculoskeletal injuries were muscle strains 19 (35.2%), stress fractures 13 (24.1%), sprains 15 (27.7% including 11 back sprains), and cartilage and ligaments ruptures 7 (12.9%). Conclusion:It is important to encourage the physiotherapists to record more comprehensive information regarding the time, cause, and the history of the injuries. More detailed information may aide the development of better prevention and rehabilitation programs. It is also very important to achieve adequate and constant cooperation with athletics clubs (coaches, athletes and administrative staff) to facilitate the research process. future studies are required to identify different age groups of track and field athletes that are at increased risk of injury which may develop better prevention for musculoskeletal injuries.
