How common are sports injuries?
Sports injuries are a frequent occurrence, impacting athletes of all ages and experience levels. Studies suggest that millions of people seek medical attention for sports injuries annually in the United States alone. This prevalence highlights the importance of understanding risk factors and implementing preventive measures.
The likelihood of encountering a sports injury depends on several factors. Contact sports like football or rugby naturally carry a higher risk compared to non-contact sports like swimming. However, even seemingly low-impact activities can lead to injuries if proper technique or safety precautions are neglected. The intensity and frequency of training also play a role. Pushing yourself too hard or neglecting rest periods can increase the risk of overuse injuries.
