Official Title: Injuries in Swedish Youth Athletics. The KLUB-study.

Brief Summary: It is well known that participation in sports activities as a youth has several health benefits, but at the same time, studies report that the risk is high to obtain injuries related to participation. There is, however, increasing evidence that many of these injuries can be prevented if necessary measures are taken. Prospective studies are therefore needed to be able to plan and carry out measures to prevent the occurrence of injuries. The overall aim of the project KLUB is to study the prevalence and incidence of injuries among athletics youths aged 12-15 years. A particular focus will be placed on identifying factors associated with injury occurrence.
