“…They have suggested that sport contributes to prevention through mechanisms such as reducing stress and anxiety, increasing selfesteem, decision-making power, resistance to other people's insistence, improving the image of the individual and knowing more about the destructive effects of drugs. In contrast to this group, some other groups introduced a number of other sports activities as a risk factor for smoking, drugs and alcohol abuse, and found that competitive culture and pressure to succeed could provide basis for such high-risk behaviors (8,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Despite previous studies in the field of sport, this question still remains that whether there is a difference between sports activity in terms of teamwork and outside sports activities or not.…”

Background. Despite the research being accomplished so far, there is no clear answer to the question that "Does sports help to prevent and reducing the abuse of drug, alcohol, and smoking in young people as it believed in public". Objective(s). The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sports activity and experience of smoking, alcohol and drug abuse among a sample of male and female students in Tehran. Methods. In a crosssectional and correlation study, 1173 male and female students from two universities; University of Tehran and Tehran University of Medical Sciences were selected to complete researcher-made questionnaires on smoking, drug and alcohol abuse, and also complete demographic questionnaires. They also responded to a sports activity questionnaire, including questions about the type and level of teamwork and activity. Results. The findings showed that males are relatively regular in sports activities than females and they are also members of sports teams. Smoking, alcohol and drug abuse were significantly higher in males than in females. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that there is no significant relationship between being athlete in males, whether they are members of the team or not, and the smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, but unorganized female athletes, outside the framework of sports teams, had reported more alcohol and drug abuse than inactive people during a year ago. Conclusion. In order to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of programs for the prevention of drug abuse through sport, paying attention to gender differences, age differences and type of sports activity (organized in the form of teams or nonorganized and individually) is critical. The findings of this study suggest that membership in sports teams of a college, especially for females should be expanded, and preventive programs should be designed through sport in a professional way -in terms of timing and content-for males and females.

“…Some research has demonstrated that team sport members drink significantly more than members of individual sports (O'Brien & Lyons, 2000;Peretti-groups (sports considered to be individual in the current study) reported the highest prevalence of alcohol consumption. To further complicate matters, Ford (2007) found that alcohol consumption in men's soccer was low, yet by contrast in women's soccer it was high.…”

Aims:The primary aim is to compare members of UK university sport groups with students not engaged in UK university sport in terms of alcohol consumption and risk for alcohol-related harm. A secondary aim is to compare alcohol consumption levels and alcohol-related problems in UK university athletes in different sports and at different competitive levels. Method:A cross-sectional survey using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and a demographic questionnaire was carried out with a purposive sample of 770 undergraduates (298 male, 471 female) from seven UK universities.Results: University sport members (n = 181) had a median AUDIT score of 11.5 (interquartile range = 8) compared to students not engaged in university sport (n = 588) median AUDIT score of 8 (interquartile range = 11). The difference between medians was highly significant (p < 0.01). There was a significant difference between the median scores of members of team (n = 103 median = 13, IQR = 8) and individual sports (median = 8, IQR = 11), with team sports members scoring higher on the AUDIT (p < 0.01). There were no significant differences on median AUDIT scores between athletes competing at different levels.Conclusions: Levels of alcohol-related risk and harm are high in members of UK university sport groups. . University sports members particularly team sports may be an 'at risk group' for alcohol-related problems and require targeted interventions. Further research is warranted comparing these student groups , and the relationship between sport type, participation level and alcohol consumption.

Öz DerlemeArtan genç nüfusla birlikte spor aktivitelerine katılım da son yıllarda oldukça artmıştır. Ancak yeterli önlemler alınmadığında sporun gerektirdiği yüksek düzey fiziksel performans, çeşitli iç ve dış faktörler nedeniyle çok sayıda spor sakatlığına neden olmaktadır. Bu durum ciddi bir ekonomik yük oluştururken, yaralanma sonrası sporcunun aynı seviyede spora dönme ihtimalini de ciddi şekilde azaltmaktadır. Spor yaralanmalarını oluşmadan önlemek, yaralanma meydana geldikten sonra tedavi etmekle kıyaslandığında sosyal ve ekonomik açıdan daha avantajlıdır. Spor yaralanmalarına neden olabilecek faktörleri inceleyerek önleyici programlar ortaya koyabilmek ve bu bilgileri uygulamaya geçirmek oldukça önemlidir. Bu makalenin amacı, genç sporcularda spor yaralanmalarına neden olan faktörleri incelemek ve yaralanmaların önlemesine dikkat çekmektir. Genç sporcuların sağlıklı bir biçimde spor yaşamına devam edebilmesi ve spor sakatlıklarının azaltılmasının uzun dönemde ülkeye sosyoekonomik yarar sağlayacağı kanaatindeyiz. Yayın Bilgisi Factors Causing Sports Injuries in Young Athletes Abstract ReviewParticipation in sports activities has increased considerably in recent years associated with increase in young population. Unless adequate measures are taken, many sports injuries are experienced due to the high level of physical performance required by sports and various internal and external factors. It significantly reduces the likelihood that the athlete will return to the same level of sport after injury and creates a serious economic burden. Preventing sports injuries is more advantageous socioeconomically when compared to treatment after injury has occurred. For this reason, it is very important to investigate the factors that may cause sports injuries and to put preventive programs into practice. The purpose of this article is to review factors causing sports injuries and point out prevention in young athletes. We are convinced that young athletes will be able to continue their sporting life in a healthy way and will provide long term socioeconomic benefit to the country by reducing the reduction of sports injuries.
