1. Strains

During exercise or play, we use lots of tendons and muscles. We sometimes stretch these moving parts farther than they can cope. As a result, they get damaged or torn, causing pain. Pulled hamstrings, strained quads, and ripped groin muscles are muscle strains. Darrin Eakins advises warming up and stretching before you can reduce muscle strains.

2. Sprains

Sprains affect your ligaments, which are tissues connecting bone to bone. They can tear or pull when they turn the incorrect way. Athletes tend to experience ankle sprains, wrist and elbow, and knee sprains. All types of sprains take a long time to heal compared to strains. However, performing warm-ups and pre-workout stretches can minimize sprains.

3. Fractures

Sports involving contact and impact cause bone fractures. Surgery may be required to treat fractures in the leg, arms, and feet. You can minimize the chances of fractures by warming up, padding, and strength training.

4. Knee injuries

Knee injuries occur due to wear and impact when engaged in sports activities. Knee injuries include cartilage tears, anterior cruciate ligament tears, dislocation, and fractures. Severe knee injuries may need surgery. You can lessen the risk of knee injuries by stretching, performing warm-ups, and bracing or padding.

5. Tennis elbow

Sports activities, such as golf and tennis, lead to tennis elbow. It’s also called an injury of repletion because elbow ligaments get strained due to repetitive movement and overuse. Like other sports injuries, you can reduce their occurrence by stretching and warming up.

6. Back injuries/back pain

Every sports exercise can cause back injuries and back pain. Darrin Eakins explains that when the back and spine experience repeated stress, the back, and vertebrate muscles may worsen. Or the discs can become injured, leading to upper or lower back pain. Surgery and physical therapy are used to treat back injuries. A good diet, warm-ups, and strength training can lessen the risk of these injuries.

7. Plantar fasciitis/shin splints

Plantar fasciitis or shin splints are also injuries of repetition. That’s because they occur when you overuse your feet and legs. Darrin Eakins says that plantar fasciitis results from tendon inflammation in the foot’s arch. It becomes painful as you take each step.

He adds that high impacts and repeated stress in the lower leg muscles while dodging or running lead to inflammation called shin splints. Basketball and soccer players, joggers, and runners suffer from these injuries. Stretching can reduce the risk of plantar fasciitis and shin spits.
