Sports injuries refer to physical injuries that occur during sports or exercise activities. These injuries can affect various parts of the body, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. Common types of sports injuries include sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, and tendonitis. They can result from a variety of factors such as direct impact, overuse, improper technique, or insufficient warm-up. Prevention strategies often involve adhering to proper training protocols, using protective gear, and engaging in conditioning exercises.
