- Abstract
This one year's study involved five to fifteen year-old Indian children who experienced injuries during various sporting activities. It was recorded that children facing accidents during sports covered only 27.13, i.e., approximately 27% of the total accidents they faced during their childhood; out of which 52% were boys & 48% were girls. Among various sports kabaddi, the national game of India, caused the greatest number of injuries followed by handball & kho-kho. Collision was found to be the main cause of injury followed by falling to the ground. To save children from accidents, protective measures should be taken. Use of proper equipment, physical activities with advanced techniques, timely control of body, and lastly, modem coaching, might keep the children away from sport injuries.
