Comparison of the effects of different aerobics training modes on sports injury risk of college students

Aerobic exercise is recognized for its multiple health advantages, which include increased cardiovascular endurance, metabolic efficiency, and mental well-being. Aerobic exercise is important for college students because it promotes general physical health and stress management during a pivotal period in their lives. The objective of this research is to analyze and compare the impact of different types of aerobics training on sports injury risk among college students. A total of 235 college students participated in this analysis; they were randomized and separated into four distinct groups: three experimental groups (EG), such as traditional aerobics training, high-intensity interval (HII) aerobics training, and dance-based aerobics training, and a control group (CG) received no aerobics training. The research consumed 8 weeks, with each group completing their allocated training mode two times per week. Self-reports, physical examinations (muscle tiredness, joint strain), and fitness tests were utilized to evaluate the risk of injuries. The data was analyzed using statistical methods and SPPS software. The findings suggest that high-intensity interval aerobics significantly increased fitness; they also increased the risk of injury, especially to the lower limbs. While traditional aerobics training showed modest improvements and a decreased injury rate, dance-based aerobics offered balanced fitness and injury prevention advantages, as well as increased joint mobility and flexibility. The CG demonstrated no significant changes in injury rates or fitness improvements. This analysis emphasizes how crucial it is to customize aerobics programs to each participant’s level of fitness reduce the risk of injury and maximize health benefits.
