Sport is an important activity that enhances individuals’ physical and psychological health, promotes social interaction, and improves overall quality of life. However, various injuries may occur during sporting activities, particularly when adequate preparation is lacking or safety rules are not followed. Sports injuries constitute a significant health problem for individuals across all levels, ranging from amateur athletes to professional competitors, as well as from children participating in school sports to adults engaged in recreational physical activities. Therefore, knowledge of first aid in sports injuries is of vital importance not only for healthcare professionals but also for physical education teachers, coaches, referees, sports administrators, students, and athletes
