This article addresses the phenomenon of common sports injuries experienced by high school students while taking the Physical Education and Sports (PES) Baccalaureate exam. Despite the critical importance of this subject in building the student's personality physically and psychologically, and in guiding them during the sensitive adolescent phase, the evaluative and decisive nature of the exam is accompanied by the risk of injuries of varying severity. The study's problem revolves around identifying the factors causing these injuries, focusing on three main dimensions: inadequate warm-up, unsuitable field surfaces at examination centers, and students' frequent absence from PES classes during the school year, which leads to a decline in their physical fitness and motor coordination. The article concludes that protecting examinees requires a comprehensive preventive strategy based on: mandatory regular participation in classes to ensure physical adaptation, raising awareness of the importance of warming up and appropriate sports equipment, and the necessity for competent authorities to prepare sports facilities according to safety standards, ensuring the exam is taken in a safe environment that achieves educational and health goals.
