Brief Summary

Exposure to repetitive activities and heavy workloads makes athletes vulnerable to overuse injuries over time. Well-timed detection of these injuries is crucial to maintaining their sports career healthily. The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre questionnaires for Overuse Injury (OSTRC-O) and Health Problems (OSTRC-H) are universally used as valid and reliable tools in athlete health screening. This study aims to make them available for Turkish athletes. The internal consistency, reproducibility, and validity of the questionnaires were analyzed. Data were obtained from 72 athletes from different sports types. 33 participants were screened weekly for six weeks to detect score changes and calculate effect sizes. Participants filled out the OSTRC-O, the OSTRC-H, the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) for validity analyses. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability values were very high for both questionnaires. There was a moderate correlation between OSTRC-O and OSTRC-H scores with CMDQ and NHP. The area under the curve (AUC) values were adequate for all scales. The effect size values were moderate for all scales. Turkish versions of the OSTRC-O and OSTRC-H questionnaires are valid and reliable tools for Turkish-speaking athletes in different sports branches.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Questionnaires for Overuse Injury (OSTRC-O)

  The "Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Questionnaires for Overuse Injury" is a self-reported outcome measure. It queries sports participation, training volume, sports performance, and pain for a selected body location-e.g. knee taking into account the last seven days. A severity score is between 0-100 points. Higher points show worse health conditions.

  Baseline

• Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre questionnaires on Health Problems (OSTRC-H)

  "Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre questionnaires on Health Problems" is a self-reported outcome measure. It is applied to determine the effects of general health problems on sports participation, training volume, sports performance, and pain for the last seven days. A severity score is between 0 and 100 points. Higher points show worse health conditions.

  Baseline

• Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ)

  Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire is used to ascertain the musculoskeletal problems experienced in the last week during work life. Participants marked the frequency, discomfort, and interference categories for 20 different regions on the body map diagram. The total score of the questionnaire is between 0 (best condition) and 90 (worst health status).

  Baseline

• Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)

  Nottingham Health Profile is a self-reported outcome measure. It is a general health questionnaire consisting of 6 sub-parameters (pain, physical mobility, emotional reactions, sleep, energy level, social isolation) and 38 items. Participants marked yes or no for each item. The total score ranges from 0 to 600, and the total score is inversely proportional to the quality of life.
