Prevlance of Musculoskeletal Problem Among Female Throwball Players

Abstract

Background: Throw ball is popular women’s team sports that indicates a need for repetitive overhead throwing sudden directional changes jumping and high velocity acceleration –deceleration movements. These sports has specific physical requirement increase the risk of my skeletal problem, specifically among young female athletes. Even in the presence of growing participation women in throw ball, there is restricted literature addressing the prevalence of my skeletal problems in this population.

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and proportion of my skeletal problems among female throw ball players aged 19-21 years with a minimum playing experience 2 years.

Methodology: A cross sectional observational study was carried out among female throw ball players aged between 19-21 years who had at least 2 years of playing experience. Participation were selected using practically sampling. My skeletal problems were assessed using a standardized self-reported questionnaire such as Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire. Along with structured population characteristic and the sports participation profile. Data were analysed using narrative statics; add the prevalence of myoskeletal problem was expressed in percentage.

Result: The study demonstrated highly prevalence of myoskeletal problems among female throw ball players. The most commonly affected region where the shoulder, Elbow, Upper back and lower back. Players with increased exercise frequency and extended practice duration reported a higher prevalence of symptoms. Repetitive strain related myoskeetal problems were more commonly reported compared to acute injuries.

Conclusion: Myoskeletal problems are frequently occurring among female throw ball players aged 19-21 years with minimum of 2 years of playing experiences. The shoulder elbow upper and lower back are most commonly affected. These findings reinforce the importance of applying preventive physiotherapy treatment, sports specific conditioning programs, and yearly assessment strategies to reduce my skeletal problems and improve performance among the female throw ball players.
