Purpose: The present research aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence rate of low back pain and injury in 12 Olympic sports athletes presenting to the injury surveillance system of the Sports Medicine Federation of Iran. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of athletes from the injury surveillance system of the Sports Medicine Federation of Iran, for three years. Descriptive statistic was used for the study. Results: The incidence rate of 6.7 injuries per 10000 athletes registered was calculated for low back complaints in 12 sports disciplines. Weightlifting, wushu, and judo had the highest, and gymnastic and soccer had the lowest low back injuries incidence. More than one-third of the low back complaints involved the lumbar spine. Also, females were at higher risk of low back pain and injury than males. Of age categories, adults and elderlies had the highest prevalence of low back complaints with more involvement in the lumbar spine. Conclusion: According to the results, wushu, judo, and especially weightlifting should be the priority of prevention. Furthermore, females and elderlies require more focus on preventive measures.

Biomotor speed and flexibility are important components that must be possessed by a karate athlete. This study aims to analyze the biomotor abilities of speed and flexibility in karate talented athletes in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The research sample consisted of 20 karate athletes who participated in the talented athlete coaching program in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The research was conducted in a quantitative descriptive. The data was obtained by using the 50-meter sprint test to determine the speed of the athletes and the sit and reach test to determine their flexibility. The research data were then analyzed and categorized using test norms so that the category of each athlete could be identified. The conclusion obtained from this study is that the speed biomotor component in the karate gifted athlete coaching program is classified into 3 categories: 2 athletes with a percentage of 10% are in a perfect category, 15 athletes with a percentage of 75% are in the excellent category, and 3 athletes with a percentage of 15% are included in the good category. For biomotor flexibility, the research results are classified into 2 categories, namely: 16 athletes with a percentage of 80% are in a perfect category while 4 athletes with a percentage of 20% are in the excellent category.

INTRODUCTION: In this paper, a remote injury diagnosis system for Wushu competition based on wireless sensor network is designed to improve the safety of athletes in the process of Wushu competition. OBJECTIVES: Improve the safety of athletes during martial arts competitions. METHODS: The pulse sensor, temperature sensor and ECG sensor are set as the terminal nodes of the remote injury diagnosis system for Wushu competition. The physiological parameters of athletes in Wushu competition are collected by the sensor, and the collected parameters are transmitted to the wireless RF module. The wireless RF module uses the wireless sensor network to realize the wireless communication of various parameter data through the routing node and terminal node, and transmits the data to the remote diagnosis module. The remote diagnosis module uses the collected physiological parameters of athletes to realize the remote diagnosis of injury in Wushu competition through particle swarm optimization-support vector machine diagnosis model. RESULTS: The experimental results show that the designed system can remotely collect the physiological parameters of athletes in Wushu competition, and remotely diagnose the injury of Wushu competition according to the collected data, and the diagnosis accuracy is as high as 99%. CONCLUSION: It has good safety performance and is of practical significance.
