The frequency and the percentage of research results has been determined and
the average value of two branch has been compared with T test (p<0,05). All
athlete's has been found that while upper extremite injuries are %56,1 and the
time that is affected by the injuries is %52,1, lower extremite injuries are
%61,8 and the time of injuries effect is %61,9. When lower and upper extremite
injuries are compared with T test according to sex and branch, it has been
