Abstract
Diving, as a source of pride and representative event in China's competitive sports, has achieved remarkable accomplishments for the country on the international competitive stage and stands as a glory of Chinese sports. While these brilliant achievements have been attained, they have been accompanied by a reality where athletes are plagued with numerous injuries. Therefore, how to scientifically understand and prevent injuries in diving based on the actual conditions of diving training has become an important guarantee for extending the athletic lifespan of China's elite athletes. To this end, drawing from the author's many years of practical experience in diving, this paper reviews and organizes the high-risk injury sites and traumas in diving, with the aim of prolonging the competitive capacity of China's elite athletes and providing a data foundation and valuable experience for the standardized and scientific training of competitive diving in China.
