What are the most common sports injuries?
There are five common sporting injuries: -
1. Excessive strains
A strain to the muscle or tendon can happen when the muscle is over stretched or excessively worked. This can cause the muscle to swell or fibres to rupture as in a torn hamstring. It may be painful and difficult to move or walk. Strains usually take one to six weeks to heal.
-
2. Bruises
A direct blow to the muscle tissue can result in bruising or cuts such as in a corked thigh. -
3. Tendonitis (inflammation of the tendon)
This can happen after excessive overuse. Often this is due to poor equipment or preparation, such as in tennis elbow. -
4. Dislocation
This happens when a joint is injured and one or more bones are displaced from their normal position such as a disclocated finger or shoulder. -
5. Sprains
This is an injury to a ligament and is caused by a sudden overstretching such as in a sprained ankle. It may be painful and difficult to move or walk. -
How do I manage a serious injury?
Serious injuries, such as to the head, neck or abdomen, need to be managed by a professional – calling an ambulance will usually be the first priority. Relevant first aid or medical training is required before a person can safely offer to help in the case of life-threatening injuries.
