Abstract

Background: As a destructive factor for the success of athletes, the identification of sports injury helps to prevent and reduce it and is associated with the optimal performance of the athlete. Therefore, the present study aimed to profile musculoskeletal injuries in stone Press (metal shield) and kabbadeh-keshi (iron weight) skills of zurkhaneh (palestra) sports. Methods: In this study, 361 athletes engaged in two zurkhaneh skills were studied in 2019. Data were collected by a questionnaire and analyzed by the Chi-square test at a level of 5% error using SPSS software version 22. Results: The results of the 51 surveyed athletes indicated that the numbers and frequencies of injuries in the metal shield skill were one (5.9%), two (76.5%), and three (17.6%), with an average number of 2.12 ± 0.48 injuries for this skill. Moreover, spasm, sprain, strain, and disc injuries were the most common types of injuries among the stone Press athletes. In the kabbadeh-keshi skill, one (0.18%), two (48.0%), three (0.28%), and four (0.6%) injuries were recorded among 50 athletes examined in this category, with an average number of 22.82 ± 2.82 injuries for athletes in this skill.
