ABSTRACT. Background: Few local data is known about the rate and factors associated with the two most common sport-related injury namely ankle sprain and jumper's knee among volleyball players. Objective: The purpose of this study is to provide an available data that reports the prevalence of volleyball injuries particularly the two most common lower extremity injuries susceptible among male and female volleyball players namely ankle sprain and jumper's knee. Method: This prevalence study was conducted among 2018 male and female competitive collegiate volleyball players participating in the Philippine National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) during the pre-season training. Players completed a questionnaire composed of three parts: demographic profile, ankle sprain questionnaire and jumper's knee questionnaire sports. Results: The incidence of both ankle sprain and jumper's knee injury were common in 20 years of age, with both male and female susceptible to an ankle sprain and male greatly affected with jumper's knee. Injury incidence was greater for outside hitters and middle blockers for both injury types that for other player functions. Most ankle sprain injuries are acquired during team drills (71%) with spiking (32%) and blocking as a common specific volleyball-related activity while spiking (24%) activity mainly related to jumper's injury with symptoms commonly lasting for one week. Across both injury types, injury location was prevalent on the right and both extremities. Conclusion: Ankle sprain is the more prevalent than jumper's knee injury in volleyball, accounting for 52% of all volleyball related injuries. Team roles commonly outside hitter and middle blocker seemed to be an important risk factor for both injury types as well as volleyball related activity mainly spiking and blocking acquired during team drills.
