The purpose of the study was to analyze the association between the sport and personal factors and the incidence of injuries (frequency and severity) according to individual (swimming, tennis and athletics) and team sports (basketball, handball and football). The sample comprised 453 athletes (47 non-injured), 285 males (23 non-injured) and 168 females (24 non-injured) recruited from sports clubs in Valencia. The study design was quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational. Injuries were evaluated by self-report. The results indicated that a greater number of total injuries and a higher injury rates were associated with athletes of a younger age (p<. 05), more experienced athletes (p<. 01) and team-sport athletes (p<. 01). Gender was unrelated to injuries. Practical applications of the results are mentioned and some conclusions of the study are indicated.
