Abstract
Injuries without contact with others often occur when landing from a jump, stopping suddenly, or changing direction. The injuries frequently occur in events that involve cutting/deceleration movements, such as basketball, apparatus gymnastics, volleyball, and handball. Falls while skiing are also frequent [1]. In school-age girls, some injuries occur during repetitive sideways jumping, which is performed as an agility test. Some cases got injured during a straight line sprint.
