Nonlinear association between physical fitness and sports injury risk among Chinese high school students: a cross-sectional study
Physical fitness was inversely associated with sports injury risk among Chinese high school students. A threshold effect was identified at a fitness score of 65, below which injury risk declined sharply with each point increase. Interventions should prioritize students below this cutoff to effectively reduce injury incidence.
