Volleyball Related Injuries in Adolescents: A Decade of Data
This study shows that volleyball players are most vulnerable to getting sprains, strains, fractures, or bruises in the upper or lower extremities. While there are more injuries in adolescent females, this is likely because a majority of volleyball players between the ages of 10 and 19 are female. Further study may be done to identify how volleyball causes these injuries in an effort to prevent them.
