According to the results of the study, it was reliably established that among all types of sports injuries in athletes of the studied groups, sprains and dislocations prevail - 1108 cases, in 67.44% of female athletes, as well as soft tissue injuries of various parts of the body - 973 cases or 59.22% of all female athletes. There was also a history of bone fractures in various parts of the body, mainly in the upper and lower extremities - 25 cases, or 1.52% of all female athletes studied.
