What are Sports Injuries?
Sports injuries occur when you push your body too hard or move in ways that strain muscles, ligaments, or joints. These injuries can happen during recreational activities or competitive sports and affect athletes of all skill levels. Common sports injuries include sprains, strains, fractures, and overuse injuries.

What Causes Sports Injuries?
Sports injuries can result from a variety of factors:

• Sudden Movements: Twisting, turning, or sudden acceleration in sports like football, basketball, or tennis.
• Overuse: Repeating the same motions over time can lead to stress fractures or tendinitis.
• Improper Technique: Poor form while performing an exercise or playing a sport increases the risk of injury.
• Lack of Warm-Up: Failing to warm up properly before physical activity increases the chance of muscle strains or ligament tears.
• Inadequate Footwear: Shoes that don’t provide proper support can lead to joint and muscle injuries.

Symptoms of Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can range from mild to severe, and symptoms include:

• Pain and tenderness around the injured area.
• Swelling, bruising, or redness.
• Difficulty moving or using the injured body part.
• Limited range of motion or weakness.
• A popping or snapping sound at the time of injury.
