Data collecting was performed by accidentally sampling. An instrument for collecting data was questionnaire. It comprised of 4 parts including; general characteristics of students (part I), knowledge (part II), attitude (part III), and behavior (part IV) about injury prevention and self-care behavior from exercise or sports injuries. Data analysis was analyzed by using descriptive statistics (number, percentage, mean and standard deviation).

Results revealed that most of students were male (55.70%). The mean age was 20.83 ±2.17 years and most of them were studying in fourth year (36.90%). Almost half of students were affiliated with the faculty of Science and Technology (49.60%). In the current study, about 92.10% of student had never injuries from sports or exercise. Most of the students had knowledge in moderate level (63.40%) following by a good level (31.60%) and had a low level only 5.00%. For Attitude, most of the students had a good level of attitude (78.10%) followed by a moderate level (21.90%). More than half of participants had high a level of preventing and self-care behavior from exercise or sports injuries (57.50%) followed by a moderate level of behavior (42.50%).
