Sažetak
Research has been carried out on a sample of 86 examinees from Croatian first women basketball league. The purpose of this paper was to determine the cause and the frequency, severity and place of origin of injuries in women basketball. Consequently, research findings should give main guidelines to coaches in making proper prevention and fitness programs. Basketball players filled retrospective questionnaire forms about former injuries. It has been noted 79 injuries in total. Acute injuries prevail with 39 registered cases (70%). Ligament injuries, precisely, ligament strain and tear were the most common injury among candidates (34%). Most common were ankle and knee injuries, which are predominant and consist 57% of all injuries based on locality. Ankle distortion of any classification (32%) and anterior cruciate ligament tear (16%) dominate among types of injuries according to diagnosis. Injuries of mid to high severity that caused more than a week absence from training dominate (71%). There was statistically significant difference between injured and not injured players in height variable (t=3, 16 ; p=0, 002). Best teams in the league reported highest percentage of injured players, but correlation between ranks was not statistically significant (r= -0, 60 ; p<0, 05).
