Sports injuries can be knee pain, wrist pain, ankle pain, concussions, tears or strains, among many other issues.
These injuries are classified as sports injuries because the issue evolved from a form of physical activity whether it has to do with a competitive sport, going to the gym, or even going for a run.
There are direct sports injuries and indirect sports injuries.
An example of a direct sports injury could be shoulder pain after you were body checked into the boards while playing hockey or wrist pain due to using too large of weights in the gym.
An example of an indirect sports injury could be rolling your ankle while running but your knee is what suffers the pain. This occurs when another joint in your body must compensate for an injured joint and take on more than its typical role.
No matter what the situation is, physical activity is an important factor in everyone’s lives as without the ability to move we are unable to do the simple things such as walking or writing.
