Sportske ozljede sastavni su dio profesionalnog, ali sve češće i rekreativnog sporta. Zbog svoje ozbiljnosti, učestalosti i mogućih komplikacija mogu predstavljati ozbiljan problem u napretku svakog sportaša. Isto tako, kod rekreativaca pojavnost ozljeda može utjecat na smanjenje kvalitete života i osjećaja općeg fizičkog zadovoljstva. Cilj ovog rada bio je utvrditi učestalost ozljeda kod osoba, koje se profesionalno i rekreativno, bave sportom. Istraživanje je obuhvatilo uzorak od 64 ispitanice, a podaci su prikupljeni pomoću upitnika za procjenu stresa i oporavka u sportu. Rezultati su pokazali kako je svega 17 ispitanica (26,6%) navelo ozljedu ili specifičan problem. Najčešća ozljeda obuhvaćala je rupturu meniska (4,7%). Najčešće navedena lokalizacija boli bila je u području lumbosakralne kralježnice s lijeve strane kod 29 ispitanica (45,3%) te s desne strane kod 30 ispitanica (46,9%). Također su ispitane varijable o energiji, kvaliteti hidratacije i ishrane, kvaliteti i trajanju sna, mentalnom fokusu, osjećaju boli i gladi, raspoloženju te stresu, a niti jedna varijabla nije statistički doprinijela razlici. Na kraju, može se zaključiti da je relativno mali postotak ispitanica navelo ozljedu, dok skoro polovina ispitanica ima problema s lumbosakralnom kralježnicom koja je čest problem ne samo u sportsko aktivnoj nego i u neaktivnoj populaciji.

Sport injuries are part of professional, but also, recreational sport. They represent a serious problem and affect the progress of athlete due to its seriousness, frequency and possible complications. Likewise, occurrence of injuries of recreational sportsmen can affect the quality of life and feeling of general physical satisfaction. The aim of this paper was to determine the frequency of injuries at professional and recreational level. The study included a sample of 64 women, and the data were obtained using a questionnaire by Abreau i Hansen (2014). The results showed that only 17 respondents (26.6%) reported an injury or a specific problem. The most common injury was meniscus tear (4.7%). The most commonly mentioned localization of pain was in the lumbosacral region on the left side in 29 respondents (45.3%) and on the right in 30 respondents (46.9%). Energy, quality of hydration and nutrition, quality and duration of sleep, mental focus, feeling of pain and hunger, mood and stress were also studied, and none of the variables statistically contributed to the difference. It can be concluded that relatively small percentage of the respondents stated an injury, while almost half of them reported having problems with lumbosacral spine, which is a common problem not only in sports but also sedentary population.
