🏃‍♀️Marathon/Running

The pressure exerted on the lower limbs during running often leads to injuries for runners, whether they are sprinters, middle-distance, or long-distance runners. Inappropriate footwear, poor posture, or technique can frequently result in overuse injuries, such as shin splints or tendinitis.

【Commonly Injured Areas:】

1. 🩻Neck, Spine, and Back: Running on hard surfaces can stress the spine, leading to disc herniation and sciatica. Weak core muscles may cause sacroiliac joint inflammation, affecting the spine-pelvis connection.

2. 🩲Abdomen, Hips, and Groin: Long-distance running may cause hip stiffness and trochanteric bursitis. Sprints can lead to groin strains, hernias, and muscle tears in the hamstrings or quadriceps if not properly warmed up.

1. 🍗Thighs: Insufficient warm-up before running can lead to hamstring and quadriceps strains or muscle tears.

2.🦵 Knee: Long-distance running on hard surfaces can put stress on the knees. A tight IT band can cause pain on the outer side of the knee during running. As the running distance increases, patellar tendinitis may develop, causing pain at the front of the knee.

3. 🏃‍♂️Calves: During long-distance running, the repeated lifting of the toes can put pressure on the front of the shins, leading to shin splints.

4. 🦶Ankles, Feet, and Toes: The toe push-off process can cause posterior tibial tendinitis, resulting in pain on the inside of the ankle and toe injuries, with increased risk for flat-footed runners.

Swimming Injury Swimming generally has a lower injury rate compared to other sports, but the back, muscles, and shoulders are more prone to injuries. Maintaining spinal flexibility and shoulder mobility is key to preventing swimming-related injuries.

🤕Common Injury Areas:

1. 🙈Head and Face:
In water polo, intense collisions can cause concussions or facial lacerations. Eye injuries may also occur from player contact.
2. 👔Neck, Spine, and Back:
Rapid head rotation can lead to muscle strains, while quick turns may cause lower back disc herniation. Prolonged swimming can put stress on the back, potentially injuring the discs.
3. Shoulders and Chest:
Water polo throws can result in shoulder dislocations, and repetitive swimming strokes can cause fatigue-related injuries, such as rotator cuff tears or shoulder impingement.
4. 🦾Arms and Elbows:
Repetitive swimming strokes may lead to tendonitis in the elbows.
5. 🫲🏾Hands, Wrists, Abdomen, Hips, and Groin:
Water polo blocking can cause finger dislocations. Repetitive kicking in swimming puts significant strain on the groin and hip muscles, leading to issues like trochanteric bursitis or femoroacetabular impingement.
6. 🦵🏻Knees:
Swimming kicks often cause inner knee pain, overuse injuries, and tendon damage.
