Abstract: The article considers the issue of injury prevention in young athletes involved in kickboxing. Team sports and combat sports are considered as the most injury-prone disciplines. Most of them involve direct physical contact between opponents or partners. Thus, there is a high possibility of injuries among the athletes involved in these sports, and kickboxing in particular. The issue of injury prevention in young kickboxers is of particular importance and requires in-depth study. To conduct the experiment and obtain quantitative data, we used the following research methods: analysis and generalization of special scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, medical history of young kickboxers, questionnaires and methods of mathematical statistics. As a result of the conducted research, the main causes of injuries in young kickboxers were identified, types of injuries, their classification and complexity were established. Guided by the data obtained, a program of preventive measures was developed and implemented in the training process, the basic basis of which was a set of physical exercises aimed at strengthening the most trauma-prone parts of the athletes' musculoskeletal system, as a factor in preventing the occurrence of the main types of injuries. After the implementation of a program of preventive measures, which included sets of physical exercises and methods of their application in the training process, practical recommendations for organizing the training process and competitive activities, a trend towards a reduction in all types of injuries was noted, which confirms the effectiveness of the implementation of a comprehensive algorithm of injury prevention measures.
