Injuries occurring during adolescence can lead to serious long-term problems. Such injuries can cause athletes to take breaks from their sports and physically strain themselves. Since athletes are in their adolescent period, the physiological development of the musculoskeletal system is ongoing. Awareness of injury prevention during this period is crucial. This study aims to investigate the relationship between core endurance and awareness of injury prevention in athletes. Objectively determining this relationship is important for providing support to protect athletes from injuries.

Cross-sectional
Prone plank test, Side plank test, The Awareness of Sports Injuries Scales
Diagnostic testProne Plank Test: For the prone bridge test, athletes will position themselves in a plank position with their elbows shoulder-width apart and directly under their shoulders. Using a stopwatch, the duration for which they can maintain this position without breaking form will be recorded. Side Plank Tests: For the side bridge test, athletes will position themselves in a side plank position, ensuring that the shoulder is directly above the elbow. The duration for which they can maintain this position will be recorded using a stopwatch. The Injury Prevention Awareness Scale for Athletes will be used to evaluate athletes' awareness and attitudes towards preventing sports injuries. A high score indicates a good level of awareness of injury prevention in sports.
The Awareness of Injury Prevention
To assess awareness of injury prevention, the Injury Prevention Awareness Scale will be conducted. The Sport Injury Prevention Awareness Scale is a measure with validated reliability and validity in Turkish. The 18-item four-factor (health status, environmental factors and equipment, exercise session, exercise program) Sports Injury Prevention Awareness Scale is valid and reliable for use with Turkish individuals aged 13-66 years.
Core endurance
To assess core endurance will be conduct prone bridge test and lateral plank test. Prone bridge test assess deep abdominal muscles. Lateral plank test assess side abdominal muscles. The prone bridge test, in the plank position, with the elbows under the shoulders and the body parallel to the ground, the athlete is asked to hold the position for as long as possible. In the lateral side plank test, the athlete is asked to hold the position with the elbow under the shoulder and the spine parallel to the ground for as long as possible.
