SPORT RELATED INJURY

The most common sports injuries are Strains, Sprains, Tendinosis, and Stress Fractures. Strains
and Sprains are very common injuries. When you accidentally twist or overextend a joint, it can
tear the muscles and tendons. When you overextend these muscles, it can cause a strain. If the
ligament then tears, it can result in a sprain. Tendinosis, or “overuse syndrome”, happens when
certain joints in the body are overused. When these parts become overworked, it can result in
pain and dysfunction. With the tendon being used over and over again, it becomes inflamed from
the repetitious activities. Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow are great examples of Tendinosis.
Stress fractures are another injury commonly seen in regards to sports injuries. Stress fractures
are also known as Fatigue Fractures. These fractures happen when there is a large, abnormal
amount of weight being placed on a bone. It is extremely common in beginner runners who start
off at a higher level than advise
