Abstract
The injury is frequent in children, adolescents and young adults. They often result in heavy consequences (lesions, hospitalization, school absence, and care). As sports and physical activities have been promoted as part of health lifestyle, injuries during these activities are a problem of public health. Injury is defined as the physical damage that results when a human body is suddenly and unexpectedly subjected to intolerable levels of external energy or forces (Verhagen et al, 2009).
The present study aimed to assess knowledge and practice of students and trainers about sports injuries and its safety measures at sports schools in Assiut Governorate. A descriptive research design was used in this study. This study was conducted at all preparatory and secondary sports schools at Assiut Governorate including 4 schools namely (El Hamara School, Khadiga Yossef School, Samih El Saeed School, and Military School sports). A convenient sample was used to include all available number of students and trainers, whose were included in the study. The total number of them was (656) divided into students (611) and trainers (45).
Two tools were used in this study; the first tool was the self-administrative and interview questionnaire sheet was developed by researcher to collect information from the participants. It includes four parts: first part was designed to assess personal data for student as (Name, age, sex, residence, and school system) and personal data for trainers such as (name, age, sex, residence, marital status, qualifications, years of experience, and prior attendance of any training program about sports injury). Second part was designed to assess students and trainers’ knowledge about sports injury as: definition, most common causes, symptoms, types of sports injury, ways of diagnosis, period for treatment, factors affecting healing of injury, steps for ”RICE” program, complications, and preventive methods. Third part was designed to assess medical services in

schools that included the study. Finally the fourth part was designed to reporting practices regarding application of sports injury safety measures. The second tool was observation check list to assess the practices of trainers regarding to application of injuries’ safety measures during their practices in the sports schools. The data collection consumed around 4 months (from the 6th February 2016 until the end of May 2016).
The main results of the present study were:
1- The study findings revealed that about one quarter (25.5%) of the students aged from 12 to ˂14 years; while more than one third (36.3%) of the them aged 14 to ˂16 years and most of the studied students (88.1%) were from urban localities. Regarding educational stage about half (50.1%) of the students were in preparatory stage and 49.9% of them were in secondary stage.
2- As regarding exposure of students to injuries, it revealed that 43.5% of the students had exposed to injury and more than two thirds (69.2%) of them had injured at lower limbs. And more than two thirds (71.1%) of students exposed to injury during individual sports and only 1.5% of them during the warm up
3- The present study illustrates that about half (49.8%) of students had poor knowledge regarding to sports injury. There was statistical significant difference between students’ school type, sex, age, and school system with their total score of knowledge about sports injuries safety measures (p. value = 0.000, 0.000, 0.006, and 0.000*) respectively.
4- The findings of the result show that more than half (57.8%) of the studied trainers aged more than 40 years and the majority (93.3%) of them were males. Also observed that more than two thirds (71.1%) of the studied trainers had physical education. More than half (51.1%) of the trainers

6- The study finding revealed that most (86.7%) of the trainers were adequate level of performance. There wasn’t a statistical significant difference between the trainers’ personal characteristics (age, sex, residence, qualifications, years of experience, and training courses) and their level of performance.
7- There was a positive correlation between total score of studied trainers knowledge and their score of practice regarding sports injury safety measures before and during activity with statistically significant difference (r= 0.368 & 0.397; p = 0.013& 0.007) respectively, while there was negative correlation between total score of studied trainers knowledge and their score of practice regarding sports injury safety measures after activity with statistically significant difference (r= 0.267& p=0.076).
The study recommended that:
1. Establish continuous educational program for students and trainers to improve their knowledge and practices.
2. The trainers and students emphasis on the application of the law and rules, which is aimed primarily at the safety of students
