Predicting injury in athletes through metabolic markers
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks for chemicals in the body that change after sports injuries, which could help doctors understand and treat injuries better. It is for athletes aged 12 to 30 who have had a recent injury like a muscle pull, sprain, bruise, torn ligament, dislocation, or fracture during exercise.
