Investigating sports-related injuries among teenage athletes in Mangalore who play football, basketball, hockey, cricket, and athletics was the main goal of the study. Athletes who met the inclusion criteria—being between the ages of 10 and 20 and actively engaged in competitive sports—had to give their informed agreement after the stadium and school authorities granted authorization for the participant selection procedure. Pre- and post-season data on demographics, past sports participation, injury profiles, and psychological states were to be gathered via questionnaires. Pre-season surveys were distributed prior to the commencement of the athletic season, and post-season surveys were distributed at the end of the season. SPSS version 16.0 was used for the statistical analysis, which included the computation of frequencies, percentages, and Spearman's correlation coefficients. The findings showed that knee injuries were common in all activities, however there were noticeable differences in the patterns of injuries between various body areas and sports. The results highlight the significance of focused injury prevention techniques catered to the unique requirements of every sport. All things considered, the study offers insightful information about sports-related injuries among young athletes, which helps decision-makers make well-informed choices for programs aimed at preventing injuries and supporting players.
