Abstract

         Research Summary: The research included an introduction and an overview of the significant role of athletics, including track and field, and the extent of analysis of the types of injuries and their percentages in both throwing and jumping events. The study covered the types, causes, percentages, and location of injuries, whether in throwing events such as the shot put, discus throw, and javelin throw, or jumping events such as the long jump, triple jump, and high jump. The study also included the type of activity, whether high-intensity or medium-intensity, within the requirements of these sports. The study also included the causes of injuries, which covered several aspects, including the unsuitability of stadium floors, improper skill performance, unsuitable equipment and devices, technical reasons for not warming up properly, or a lack of physical abilities for players. The study also included the results, in which the researcher concluded that the majority of injuries occurred in high-intensity competitions such as jumping events. It also found that injuries were greater in the muscles and knee joints, followed by the skin and bones. The study also recommended the importance of warming up in the training process, as well as the preparation of high-efficiency stadiums, and continuous examination of players, including periodic examinations to detect injuries. At its beginning, this is to prevent injuries from throwing and jumping activities.
