In many cases, injuries and pain are due to contact and collision that are innate in most action games. Sports injuries can occur during basketball, football, tennis, and soccer games in children, youth, and adult sports activities.
Kinds of Sports Injuries
Orthopedic injuries
Fractures are orthopedic injuries. They are damages mainly related to the muscle and skeletal systems. Fractures are breaks or ruptures to the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, or tendons. A fracture may happen suddenly during high impact sports like boxing, where fracture of the nose bridge is common. Fractures of the bones of the arms and legs account for six percent of all sports injuries.
Fractures may also develop gradually over time, mostly involving the bones of the legs and feet. Stress fractures are common in ballet dancers, long-distance runners, and the elderly athletes due to already thinning bones.
