What Is A Sports Injury?

A sports injury occurs during sporting activity, and it can affect any part of your musculoskeletal system. Sports injuries affect either hard or soft tissue. Hard tissue includes your bones and the bony part of your joints. Soft tissue includes muscles, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.

What Are The Most Common Sports Injuries Today?

There are many common sports injuries, including:

  • Pulled muscles
  • Torn rotator cuff
  • Tennis elbow
  • Sprains
  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries
  • Runner’s knee
  • Swimmer’s shoulder
  • Fractures
  • Tendinitis

Each of these sports injuries has its own set of symptoms, and there are also many other kinds of sports injuries. Pain, stiffness, and inhibited range-of-motion are all common in sports injuries.

What Causes Sports Injuries?

Sports injuries frequently occur when you collide with someone or experience another form of trauma. Overuse injuries are quite common as well. A few examples of overuse injuries include runner’s knee, Achilles tendinitis, and swimmer’s shoulder.

Some factors that can increase your risk of a sports injury include poor form, improper training, and failure to stretch before starting physical activity.

Technically, you can sustain a sports injury when you're not even participating in sports. For instance, if your ankle gives out while you're descending a staircase, you can sprain a ligament, which is in the sports injury category.
