Since participating in sports and exercising has dramatically increased these days, sports injuries have been considered as the major part of the social incidents. Many sports fans of different ages spend their free time exercising karate. Karate has been classified as contact sports in the categories of International Medicine. Based on the studies done, 57% of the damages to the head and face in England and 59% of them in Australia have been reported to be related to Karate. Karate in Iran has been considered as the first cause of damages to the face and jaws among female athletes and as the second cause of such damages among male athletes. Therefore, this study aims at evaluating the rate of injuries caused before and after trainings to provide for recognizing and then modifying the ways of practicing athletic activities. This research is a Semi-experimental study which has been carried out on all the athletes participating in karate matches in Arak. They have been trained in both groups by a face to face method to find out about the causes, related signals and different types of injuries. The data was recorded based on quantity measurements of the number and the type of macrotraumas to the face and head in the selective matches in the team of Arak. The study was carried out one year before and one year after their participation in the annual match. The data was evaluated and analyzed using SPSS software and running a T test. The average age of the athletes injured was 18.08 years, ranging from 16 to 29 years old. There was no significant relation between the age and the injured area. Altogether, there were 71 cases of the head and neck injuries before training and 38 of such cases afterwards. Also, the highest rate of injury prevalence was related to the injury to the soft tissues before and after the training. There was a meaningful difference between the average head injuries and those of the neck. [P< 0.05]. Neck and head injuries have been found to be the most prevalent in Karate in many studies as well as in this study. So, considering the results of this study which show the influence of training stability in decreasing injuries in sports, programming for continuous training and evaluation to raise the knowledge, theory and acquisition of proper sporting behavior among athletes and the trainers can be main steps in preventing sports injuries and the related consequences
