<![CDATA[Injury is almost inseparable risk of sport participation and may threaten the sustainability of an athlete’s career. Although the Semarang Regency Sports Committee (KONI) oversees roughly 44 sport blanches with more than 500 athletes, systematic data on the injury profile of the population have not previously been available. This stydu aimed to descrive the epidemiological injury profile of club-based athletes under KONI Semarang Regency, covering prevalence, type, mechanism, anatomical location, timing, severity, and recurrence. A descriptive cross-sectional design was applied using stratified random sampling of 160 active athletes from 25 sports branches (mean age 20.3 ± 5.8 years; 50.6% female), using structured questionnaire adapted from the Sports Injury Assessment Form. Within the past 12 months, 32.5% of athletes (n=25) reported having sustained an injury. Sprains were the most common injury type (40.4%), followed by contusions and strains (23.1% each). Most injuries occurred during training rather than competition, and were attributed to overuse (36.5%). The right knee (28.8%) and left knee (25.0%) were the most frequently affected sites. Although most injuries were classified as mind (55.8%), the recurrence rate was relatively high (46.2%). These findings underline the need for a structured injury-prevention programme and an ongoing injury surveillance system within KONI Semarang Regency. Abstrak Cedera adalah risiko yang hampir tidak terpirsahkan dari aktivitas olahraga dan dapat mengancam keberlangsungan karier atlet. KONI Kabupaten Semarang membina sekitar 44 cabang olahraga dengan lebih dari 500 atlet, tetapi data sistematis mengenai profil cedera sejauh ini belum tersedia. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengambarkan profil epidemiologis cedera pada atlet klub binaan KONI Kabupaten Semarang, mencakup prevelensi, jenis, mekanisme, lokasi anatomis, waktu kejadian, tingkat keparahan dan proporsi kejadian berulang. Digunakan desain cross-sectional deskriptif dengan stratified random sampling terhadap 160 atlet aktif dari 25 cabang olahraga (usia rata-rata 20,3 ± 5,8 tahun; 50,6% perempuan), menggunakan kuesioner hasil modifikasi Sport Injury Assessment Form. Dalam 12 tahun terakhir, 32,5% atlet (n=25) melaporkan pernah mengalmi cedera. Keseleo/sprain merupakan jenis cedera terbanyak (40,4%), diikuti memar dan otot tertarik/ strain yang masing-masing sebesar 23,1%. Cedera lebih banyak terjadi saat sesi latihan (63,5%) dibanding pertandingan, dengan kelelahan/overuse sebagai mekanisme paling dominan (36,5%). Lutut kanan (28,8%) dan lutut kiri (25,0%) tercatat sebagai lokasi cedera tersering. Sebagian besar cedera tergolong ringan (55,8%), namun angka kejadian berulang relatif tinggi (46,2%). Temuan ini menegaskan perlunya program pencegahan cedera terstruktur serta sistem surveilans cedera berkelanjutan di lingkungan KONI Kabupaten Semarang.]]>
