“…15 However, this could be explained by another previous study that indicated that the training hours were longer in Japanese athletes than in American athletes competing at the same level. 21,30 This study has some limitations. First, the survey was only performed on non-minor female athletes and further studies on male and minor athletes are required, as sex may play a role in sleep disorders and distributing the survey to athletes in multiple levels are also required.…”

“…However, the survey was conducted in English, and although it has been translated into Turkish, Portuguese, and French, few surveys have been performed on non-English-speaking athletes, including Japanese athletes, who reportedly have low sleep duration. [18][19][20][21] Although general sleep questions can be the same, there are certain cultural differences among athletes' personal backgrounds, which may affect some questions and their answers. In this study, we aimed to translate the ASBQ into Japanese (ASBQ-J), assess its validity, test the reliability of the translated Japanese survey, and investigate the characteristics of the results obtained from Japanese female athletes.…”

The Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ) is an 18-item self-reported questionnaire that can be used to screen for sleep disorders in athletes and assess environmental, behavioral, and sports-related factors along with sleep disorders. This study aimed to analyze the reliability and validity of the ASBQ translated into Japanese (ASBQ-J). Patients and Methods: 111 female collegiate athletes completed both the initial test and retest. Independent variables were what kind of sports they perform, level as an athlete, grade (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior), and age. The reliability of the survey was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation, and Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the correlation between the total ASBQ scores and three components which were routine/environmental, behavioral, and sports factors. Results: A total of 37.8% of athletes had ASBQ scores equal or less than 36 indicating good sleep. However, 19.8% of athletes scored more than 42, indicating poor sleep. Cronbach alpha was 0.62 and 0.65 for test and retest, respectively. Intraclass correlation was 0.78 (P < 0.01), indicating sufficient internal consistency and test-retest validity. Mean ASBQ scores were 38.5 ± 5.0 and 37.0 ± 6.5 for test and retest, respectively, and it was not significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.37). The correlation coefficients between the ASBQ-J and component scores were all statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Conclusion: ASBQ-J is a reliable questionnaire for assessing sleep disorders in athletes whose primary language is Japanese.

“…With the comprehensive development of track and field in general colleges and universities, more and more participants in track and field, and with the increase of track and field injuries, after searching the literature of Chinese academic journals network, we know that in track and field, lower limb injuries account for the most [4][5][6]. The incidence is very high, and some lower limb injuries begin to appear in the beginning stage of track and field, because of track and field lower limb injuries, so that track and field students in Training suffer from This not only seriously affects students' interest in learning athletics but also affects their use of lower limbs in daily life, and some even have fear and resistance to learning athletics because of these pains, which is not conducive to the promotion and development of athletics among students [7][8].…”

INTRODUCTION: Athletics is trendy; many events rely heavily on lower body coordination. With the development of track and field, lower extremity injuries in track and field also occur frequently. In general colleges and universities, lower limb injuries in track and field not only affect students' physical and mental health but also affect students' daily life and Training. OBJECTIVES: This paper examines the causes of lower limb injuries in students and suggests measures and recommendations for preventing lower limb injuries to increase the importance of lower limb injuries and reduce the rate of lower limb injuries in students. METHODS: Combined with big data, the linear regression model was used, along with the literature method, questionnaire survey method and logical analysis method, to investigate the lower limb injuries of track and field students in general colleges and universities and analyze the survey results. RESULTS: The following points were summarized: the lower limb injury rate of track and field students was as high as 79.03%, mainly focusing on ankles, followed by knees and joints; joint sprains dominated lower limb injuries, and the degree of injuries mainly was mild to moderate; the main factors affecting lower limb injuries included preparatory activities, technical movements, physical fitness and self-protection awareness; and the students did not have enough knowledge of and paid enough attention to the prevention of injuries. CONCLUSION: The research in this paper can provide some references for more track and field students to help them have better careers.
