Sports Injuries FAQs
What are sports injuries?
Any injury caused by exercise or participating in sports is considered a sports injury. A sports injury can affect any part of your body, but the most common tend to involve bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or joints.
People who participate in sports that involve running or jumping are at a greater risk of experiencing sports injuries.
Also, activities that place a lot of demand on your feet, such as basketball, running, soccer, football, or dancing, are associated with more foot- and ankle-focused sports injuries.
How can I prevent sports injuries?
Preventing sports injuries starts with learning how to safely participate in the sport or activity. Make sure you wear appropriate footwear and use proper sports equipment that’s in good condition.
The most effective way to prevent foot- and ankle-related sports injuries is to begin all sports and athletic activities with a warmup that stretches the muscles.
