Abstract

Volleyball is one of the most popular sports in the world. Various studies have found musculoskeletal injuries in professional volleyball players, compared to elite players the recreational volleyball players are more subjected to musculoskeletal injuries due to lack of awareness about warm-up, cooldown, proper techniques of the play, and the surface used for playing. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in recreational volleyball players using the Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire. It is an observational study within urban areas including 69 (Male) volleyball players of age group between 18-45 with experience of minimum 3 years. For evaluation Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire was used, which denoted that there is a prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries observed in recreational volleyball players with highest prevalence in wrist followed by shoulder, elbow, knee, upper back, lower back, neck. This article reviews the specific injuries that are most common as a result of participating in the sport of outdoor volleyball. Reliability for the coefficients of questionnaire was found to be consistent with the Cronbach’s Alpha (.761). Conclusion- The present study identified that there is a high prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in recreational volleyball players (77.5%). Correlation was highly significant with hip / thigh injuries and were associated with shoulder (.416**) wrist / hand (.369**) lower back (.588**) knees (.659**) and ankle / foot (.465**) injuries.
