A prospective-cohort study of Sepaktakraw injuries in 12 Thai male national
competitors was completed during training and competition sessions at the 13th Asian Games
tournament. Questionnaires and data forms were used to collect characteristics of subjects,
levels of training and competition sessions. Details of injuries including; areas, mechanisms,
types, time, initial treatment consequence and history of previous injuries were recorded. The
injuries reported in this study were defined by a number of categories; 1) the injuries where
athlete requested medical or physiotherapy attention and 2) injuries that have obvious tissue
damage. These injuries could result in the athletes missing at least a part of a training
program or competition session. Data were recorded at the time of injury by a researcher
who was on-site all times during training and competitions
