The purpose of this study was to describe the role of judo-therapist’s office, named Sport Cure Center (SCC), based on the medical records. In general, many judo-therapist’s office visitors are elderly. Most of the SCC patients are athletes of the Nippon Sports Science University. There have been few reports on sports in-juries based on the medical records of judo-therapist’s office. Therefore, we analyzed the medical records of SCC and examined the role of SCC. In 2.5-years of study period, we identified 4,903 injuries in approximately 44,000 athletes. Bruise and muscle sprains were the most common type of injuries (42.8%), and lower extremity was the most frequent site of injury (55.9%). Most of the patients of SCC belonged to the track, soccer, and rugby clubs that are active on the same campus as SCC. The type and site of sports injuries were characterized by the type of sports. Our study on sports injuries can help coaches and trainers take appropriate strategies for the prevention of injuries. These results suggest that the role of SCC is not limited to providing first aid and rehabilitation to the injured university athletes; SCC has the provision to provide information on injury prevention according to the sports categories.
