A sports injury is any injury that occurs during physical activity or exercise, affecting muscles, joints, tendons, or bones. It can result from overuse, improper technique, or sudden impact.
Sports injuries are caused by overuse, improper technique, lack of warm-up, inadequate equipment, sudden impact, or muscle fatigue. Poor conditioning and overtraining also increase the risk.
Common signs and symptoms of sports injuries include pain, swelling, bruising, stiffness, weakness, limited movement, and tenderness. Severe injuries may cause numbness, instability, or inability to bear weight.
Common types of sports injuries include sprains (ligament tears), strains (muscle or tendon injuries), fractures, dislocations, tendonitis, and shin splints. These can result from overuse, impact, or improper movement.
Acute sports injuries occur suddenly, like sprains, fractures, or dislocations from a fall or impact. Chronic sports injuries develop over time due to overuse, such as tendonitis or stress fractures.
