Abstract: Chronic injuries, defined as long-term injuries that persist for months or years, are a significant concern in both athletic and non-athletic populations. This study aims to compare the incidence of chronic injuries between athletes and non-athletes and explore factors contributing to these injuries. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 100 athletes and 100 non-athletes. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires on injury history, type, and duration of injuries. Statistical analysis revealed that athletes have a higher likelihood of chronic injuries, particularly in the musculoskeletal system, but non-athletes tend to experience chronic injuries related to lifestyle factors such as poor posture and sedentary behaviour. The findings highlight the need for injury prevention strategies tailored to both populations
