WHAT IS SPORTS INJURY ?

Sports injuries refer to physical injuries that occur during athletic activities or exercise. These injuries can impact anyone involved in repetitive movements or intense physical activity, not only athletes.

TYPES OF SPORTS INJURY

Sports injuries are broadly categorised into two types,

  • Acute Injuries: Result from sudden incidents, such as falls or impacts. Common examples include sprains, fractures, and dislocations.
  • Chronic Injuries: Develop over time due to repetitive strain on specific body areas, leading to conditions like tendinitis and stress fractures.

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

  • Acute Injuries: Sharp, immediate pain, bruising or swelling, inability to move or bear weight, visible joint or bone misalignment.
  • Chronic Injuries: Persistent pain during activity, swelling, and a dull ache even at rest.

CAUSES OF SPORTS INJURY

Sports injuries typically arise from:

  • Overuse or repetitive strain on muscles and joint
  • Poor training techniques or inadequate warm-up
  • Sudden trauma, falls, or impacts
