Sponsored by Izmir Bakircay University · Observational
The goal of this observational study is to learn how training habits and general health status are related to injury risk in veteran football players (men over 35 years old who play recreational football). The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do specific training patterns (such as frequency, intensity, and duration) increase or lower the risk of injury?
How does general health status (including factors like sleep, nutrition, and existing health conditions) affect injury risk?
Participants will:
Complete questionnaires about their training habits, lifestyle, and general health
Report any injuries they experience during the football season
Attend periodic health assessments
