Specific injuries of female volleyball players in the area of Varaždin County

Odbojka je ekipni sport s loptom u kojem se dvije suparničke momčadi, sastavljene svaka od šest igrača na terenu, natječu preko razapete mreže na sredini terena. U odbojci, vrlo lako može doći do ozljeda iako nema direktnog kontakta s protivnikom zbog odvojenosti mrežom. Provedeno je anketno istraživanje, a prikupljeni rezultati obrađeni su deskriptivnim statističkim metodama. Upitnik je bio sastavljen od vlastitih pitanja, a proveden u elektroničkom obliku. Cilj istraživanja je bio utvrditi učestalost i najčešće ozljede u odbojkaškim klubovima na području Varaždinske županije. U istraživanju je dobrovoljno sudjelovalo 100 odbojkašica. Prema rezultatima iz anketnog upitnika utvrđene su tri najčešće ozljede u populaciji ispitanih odbojkašica, a one su: uganuće gležnja, ozljeda šake/prstiju i bol u koljenu.Volleyball is a team sport with a ball in which two rival teams, made up of each of the six players on the court, compete over a stretched net in the middle of the court.
