Abstract:
Purpose: To identify the Factors affecting the knee pain among the Athlete at BKSP.
Objectives: To expose the injured participant’s age, training duration and sporting event,
identify other associated knee injuries, extract the types of injury, identify recurrence of
injuries among the athlete, and know about the management of injury (medication,
physiotherapy or both). Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study design was
chosen to achieve the objectives of the study. 40 subjects were selected through
convenience sampling technique from the athlete, who trained in BKSP by using a
structural questionnaire to collect data. Results: The factors of knee pain 78% (n=29)
among the 40 participants. Among the injured participants most affected age was 17,
20.0% (n=8). Male athlete are more affected at the percentage of 77.5% (n=31). 42.5%
(n=17) participants are suffered from ACL injury who are trainees of athletics and 41%
(n=16) participants are injured whom training event is 2 years. Along with ACL injury
10.0% (n=4) participants are suffered from meniscus injury. 90.0% (n=36) injured
participants are affected by direct hit and recurrence rate is 10.0% (n=4). Among 40
affected participants 41% (n=16) participants do their warm up cool down activities for
15 to 20 minutes and most of them about 60.0% (n=24) taken both medicines and
physiotherapy treatment. Conclusion: The vulnerable age range 15-20 was frequent
injury occurring among Athlete and noticeably flexibility and overuse are the key issues
