Common Causes of Sports Injuries
Poor Technique: Incorrect form or technique during sports activities can place undue stress on muscles, tendons, and joints, increasing the risk of injury.
Overuse and Overtraining: Repetitive movements or excessive training without adequate rest can lead to overuse injuries such as stress fractures, tendonitis, and muscle strains.
Muscle Imbalances: Weakness or tightness in certain muscle groups can create imbalances, predisposing athletes to injury during physical activity.
Lack of Warm-up and Cool-down: Failing to properly warm up before exercise or cool down afterward can increase the likelihood of muscle strains and other soft tissue injuries.
Equipment Issues: Wearing improper footwear, using worn-out gear, or using equipment incorrectly can contribute to sports-related injuries.
