The main informants were 10 professional futsal players. The results of the study found that most of the key informants were under 30 years old and lived in Bangkok and its vicinity. Most of the key informants weighed between 60-70 kilograms and were between 160-170 centimeters tall. Most of the key informants had lower body injuries, especially knees, and took more than 1 month to recover. The key informants played sports according to the correct program and were at high risk of collisions during training. The results of the study found that 1) Athletes exercised or played sports appropriately, but were at risk of injuries from training and could be a problem for the competition. 2) Although the athletes slept for more than 6 hours, it is recommended that they adjust their bedtime to wake up earlier and ensure they eat breakfast on time. 3) Athletes should eat appropriately, such as eat all 5 food groups, but should increase their knowledge of nutritional principles so that athletes can eat appropriately.</span></p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Injury, Professional Athlete, Behavior and Attitude</p> Narongpakron Hongsala Sumeth Kaewpraek Arissa Kitkhuntod Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Modern Sport Management https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 3 2 1 15
