Sports injuries are injuries that occur during sports or training. Sports injuries can result from overtraining, lack of conditioning, improper forms and techniques. If you do not warm up, you are at an increased risk of sports injuries. Sports injuries can cause bruises, sprains, tears, and fractures.Soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia, and bursa can be affected. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is another possible type of sports injury.
What are the effects of sports injury?
Most of the swelling and inflammation that follows an injury is primarily due to blood leaks from the rupture of capillaries. Therefore, cold administration with ice helps to constrict (clamp down) blood vessels. This contraction of blood vessels prevents further leakage of blood and serum, minimising swelling and pain. The coldness of the ice pack application also has the additional benefit of reducing pain.
How to prevent a sports injury?
Physical activity is an important part of maintaining overall health. However, certain precautions should be taken to minimise the risk of sports injuries.
By using the right equipment and maintaining the equipment, you can prevent sports injuries. Wearing the recommended protective equipment will help protect your body from injury. Taking a break between training gives you time to rest and repair.
By slowly and gradually increasing activity and increasing strength, flexibility, and endurance, muscles, bones, and other tissues can adapt to more difficult workouts and minimise the risk of injury. Finally, listening to your body and withdrawing at the first signs of pain, discomfort, stress, or overheating can help reduce the risk of sports injuries.
In most cases, you will not be able to put your weight on your arm or push it by hand against resistance until about 6 weeks after surgery.
