This study aimed to describe the population, training features and history of musculoskeletal injuries in young female handball players and to investigate possible associations between these features and previous musculoskeletal injuries related to handball. The subjects of this cross-sectional study were 220 athletes who completed a self-reported questionnaire about personal data, training features and previous injuries related to handball in the last 12 months. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression models. The results showed that most of the athletes were approximately 15 years old, had a body mass index was classified as normal, worked out at an average of 3 times a week and their weekly workload was approximately 8 hours and 30 minutes. The main injuries found were sprains and tendinopathies, with the ankle and knee being the most affected regions. Only the sport practice of over 6 years showed statistical relationship with previous injuries (p=0.032). The prevalence of injuries in the last 12 months in this population was 53.60%.Downloads
