Sports injuries are injuries that occur when engaging in sports, athletic activities or exercise. They are commonly caused by overuse, direct impact, over training, lack of conditioning, improper form technique or the application of force that is greater than the body part can structurally withstand.  Failing to warm up increases the risk of sports injuries. Soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia, and bursae may be affected. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is another potential type of sports injury.  Common injuries include bruises, sprains, strains, joint injuries and nose bleeds. If you can get treatment early enough, the higher your chance to a solid recovery.
