FAQs on Sports Injuries:

What Types of Sport Injuries Are There?

While a multitude of injuries can be sustained participating in sports or other physical activities, some of the most common include:

Sprains. When a muscle or tendon is overstretched during physical activity, painful sprains can occur.
Knee injuries. Muscles in the knees are particularly vulnerable during sports, and injuries can range in severity from an overstretch to a tear.
Achilles tendon rupture. This important but thin tendon at the back of your ankle is also vulnerable to injury during sports. This is a severely painful injury that can cause instant difficulty walking.
Fractures. It’s common for bones to break during contact sports.
Dislocations. Collisions during sports can force a bone out of its socket, causing pain, swelling, and weakness.
Rotator cuff injury. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that work to keep your upper arm and shoulder connected. Any of these four pieces of muscle can be damaged, resulting in different conditions from tendinitis (common in tennis players) to bursitis (common in baseball players).
