Özet

Volleyball, one of the most widely followed and team-oriented sports globally, fosters both team cohesion and strategic thinking. Despite its general safety, the sport poses specific injury risks to athletes, particularly due to the repetitive nature of its overhead movements. Shoulder injuries, prevalent among volleyball players, are often attributed to actions such as repetitive spiking, serving, and blocking. These injuries are a leading cause of missed training sessions and competitive events among athletes. When factoring in the financial impact of treatment, developing effective injury prevention strategies becomes essential. Identifying both extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors associated with shoulder injuries is a primary step in prevention efforts. In addition to assessing individual risk profiles, understanding the mechanisms of shoulder injury can significantly enhance both preventive strategies and the efficacy of post-injury rehabilitation programs. Tailored interventions focusing on strength, stabilization, flexibility, and neuromuscular training are recommended for volleyball players to minimize shoulder injury risk.
