Investigation and analysis of ankle injuries among students in basketball sports

This study employs literature review, questionnaire surveys, and statistical analysis to investigate and analyze ankle injuries among students who take basketball as an elective course, exploring the locations, types, causes, and preventive measures of these injuries. The main reasons for ankle injuries in basketball are identified as improper warm-up activities, lack of awareness, poor physical fitness, poor quality of the venue, low technical level, high sports load, and emotional venting under pressure, among others. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance students' awareness of sports, master self-protection methods, reasonably arrange warm-up activities, standardize technical movements, adjust students' psychological emotions, and standardize the use of venue equipment to reduce the occurrence of sports injuries.
