The purpose of the present study is to analyse the association between sport and personal factors with the incidence of injury (frequency and severity) within individual sports (swimming, tennis and athletics) and collective sports (basketball, handball and football). In this study, it was deemed necessary to explore different types of sports, using samples of both genders in the field of competition. The sample was composed by 453 athletes (47 non-injured), 285 males (23 non-injured) and 168 females (24 non-injured) belonging to different sports clubs in the Comunidad Valenciana (Spain). The male athletes had an average age of 21,77 years and a standard deviation (SD) of 4.81, and the female athletes an average of 20,55 years and an SD of 4.39. A cross-sectional and corelational design with a strategy of selective collection of data by means of survey designs was used. In order evaluate the injuries, an auto-report registry was elaborated. The results indicated that a greater number of total injuries and a higher injury rate were associated with athletes of a younger age (p<0,05), more experienced athletes (p<0,01) and collective athletes (p<0,01). Gender was not found to be an important factor. It is discussed on the relations of these variables and some conclusions of the study are indicated.
