“…The study finding revealed that most common injury location among Perak athletes in contact-sports was lower extremities (66.5%) followed by upper extremities (33.5%). This is supported by Lee et al, (2017) stated that lower extremities (51.1%) seems to be the most common injury location in non-contact sports. Study finding indicated that high incidence of ankle and knee injuries in contact-sports among Perak athletes.…”

Numerous injuries occur each year caused by sports, resulting in decreased physical activity and work time lost in addition to substantial medical costs. Prevention and intervention have become focal points for researchers and clinicians. Due to the lack of evidence related to injury patterns among Perak athletes in Malaysia for entire contact-sports, risks of injury cannot truly been identified. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify the injury profile of contact-sports for Perak athletes, and to determine the injuries pattern among the athletes. In the same time, suggesting injury prevention strategies in order to reduce the risks of injury. Descriptive research design is utilized in this study. There were 533 Perak athletes from seven contact-sports i.e hockey, judo, karate, taekwondo, silat, tinju and wushu participated in this study. There were 105 athletes who reported injured were recruited and completed the self-administered questionnaire. The data is examined based on the research questions: a) common types of injuries, b) common body locations of injuries and c) common risk factors of injuries. The descriptive statistics i.e. frequency and percentage were utilized to analyze the research variables. The study findings indicated that muscles cramp, sprain and strain were the most common types of injuries. The reflection of intensity of physical interactions involved in the sporting activities becomes the common causes of different types of injuries. While lower extremities i.e ankle, knee and thigh became the common body locations of injuries. Opponent was found as major risk factor to injury. This study suggesting that the injury prevention strategies should focus on proper stretching during warm-up, ensure the training volume, proper landing techniques, ensure the injured athletes receive adequate rehabilitation, implementation of injury prevention programming, rules changes and emphasize on effective equipment. In conclusion, this injury profile is able to provide sufficient information in reducing and preventing injury occurrence thus helps maintaining athlete's health at optimum level.

“…However, research indicates that the opposite is in fact the case. Research conducted by (Lee et al, 2017) and (Lee & Lee, 2018) with the Perak SUKMA athletes revealed that of the 405 non-contact-sport athletes observed, 135 reported injuries, whereas of 533 contact-sport athletes only 105 claimed some form of injury. These results suggest that a higher proportion of injured athletes exist among non-contact sports, contrary to popular belief.…”

Introduction: The objective of this paper is to demonstrate techniques on how to improve hip flexibility and mobility, especially for track and field athletes. It also seeks to explain the underlying importance of hip flexibility and mobility. When athlete's hips are stiff and inflexible, muscle imbalance may occur and increase the risk of injury. Muscle imbalance in the hip often causes knee and hip pain, due to the hip flexors and quadriceps overworking in order to compensate for weaker muscles. The hip mobility and flexibility exercises illustrated here are designed to significantly improve the range of motion (ROM) of the hips. Enhanced ROM can improve motor performance, skill execution, and even prevent injury. Excellent hip extension improves the ability to assist the hip in developing power. Methods: 9 Hip Mobility and 6 Hip Flexibility exercises are described in this paper. The exercises are to be performed 3× per week with at least 24 hours break in-between to achieve optimum results. Conclusion: This paper sought to outline the importance of hip mobility and flexibility, in particular for non-contact-sport athletes (such as those in track and field), and their effects on athletic performance and injury prevention. After proximately 6 weeks, the ROM of the hip will be expected to improve significantly.

“…Introduction 1 Lower extremity injuries often occur on sports and physical activities that required individuals for rapid dynamic movements such as running, jumping, turning and changing direction. Lower extremity is considered as the most common injury location accounted to 51.1%, and 66.5% respectively for Malaysian athletes who participated in contact and non-contact sports [1,2]. According to Lee & Lee, poor postural stability is a contributing factor for lower extremity injures [3].…”

Background and Study Aim. Complex sports specific movements often require balance ability. This is accountable for injury prevention as well. Balance control is vital to athletes for all sports activities. It is the objective of the current study to develop and identify balance training program effectiveness in improving dynamic balance among athletes in Malaysian National Sport Schools. Material and Methods. This study used a true experimental with control group design, involved dynamic balance control measures before and after intervention. A total of 72 male and female athletes were randomly assigned into experimental group or control group after screening process for eligibility. The experimental group underwent 12 sessions of balance training program and the control group continued their usual training routine. The Y-Balance Test was utilized to quantify dynamic balance for both groups. Data was analyzed using independent and paired sample t-test. Results. The study finding indicated that the experimental group demonstrated significant improvement in the post-test compared to pre-test (p = 0.000, p < 0.001) but no significant changes happened to control group (p = 0.353, p > 0.05). Independent t-test showed during post-test, the experimental group attained better score compared to the control group (p = 0.000, p < 0.001). Conclusions. It is suggested that coaches and athletes may include this balance training program in their training regimen, hoping to help in improving dynamic balance, thus, to reduce risk of lower extremity injuries. Future studies are suggested to increase more variances of balance training and make comparison on their effectiveness as a way to obtain a more effective training program.
