abstract="OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors and to provide evidence for prevention and reduction of sports injuries in primary and secondary school students in Guangzhou. METHODS: 1:1 case-control study was conducted on both 349 cases and controls under the same distribution of sex, age and grade. Conditional univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore the relationships between risk factors and injuries. RESULTS: Severe soles wear (OR = 7.20, 95%CI: 2.37 - 21.84), tiredness (OR = 14.34, 95%CI: 2.29 - 89.66) or sickness (OR = 1.96, 95%CI: 1.29 - 3.06) when participating in sports at a high frequency and history of previous injuries (OR = 2.11, 95%CI: 1.41 - 3.96) were risk factors related to sports injury while guidance by teachers and physical education provided by teachers during training (OR = 0.46, 95%CI: 0.26 - 0.79), appropriate protection (OR = 0.36, 95%CI: 0.20 - 0.64) as well as warming-up exercise (OR = 0.31, 95%CI: 0.14 - 0.67) at a high frequency were protective factors for sports injury. CONCLUSION: Prevention and control on sports injury need to improve the awareness on sports safety for students and teachers in order to develop positive behavior on sports safety.<p /> <p>Language: zh</p>",
