Abstract: This data paper presents a structured dataset documenting sports injury incidence and associated risk factors among collegiate-level athletes across multiple sporting disciplines. The dataset captures athlete demographics, training load, injury characteristics, playing surface, and preventive practice indicators such as warm-up routines and prior injury history. It is intended to assist sports scientists, physiotherapists, coaches, and physical education researchers in analysing injury patterns and evaluating risk factors relevant to injury prevention programmes in a university sporting context. The paper describes the data collection protocol, variable structure, technical validation steps, and appropriate usage guidance for the dataset.
