Abstract

The study analyzed the main injuries in amateur sand volleyball athletes, focusing on the causes, symptoms and impact on sports performance. A total of 25 athletes were investigated using structured questionnaires. The results indicated that the most affected joints are shoulders (24%), ankles (12%), knees (16%) and lumbar (12%), highlighting that explosive movements and landings increase the risk of injury. In addition, 28% reported joint instability, while 36% showed visible signs of injury, such as swelling and redness. Ankle instability and knee pain were associated with biomechanical factors and chronic overloads. It is concluded that the absence of adequate technical support and the lack of effective prevention strategies contribute significantly to the occurrence of injuries among amateur sand volleyball athletes. Thus, it is essential to implement preventive measures and strengthening programs to minimize risks and promote the safe practice of sport.
