Exercise and sports bring countless benefits to the body, but if you exercise with the wrong technique, the wrong way or over-exercise, it can lead to dangerous risks of injury.
Training injuries are caused by direct impact during play or by other players, such as collisions in football or being hit by a ball... Direct mechanical impacts can cause injuries to muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons, cartilage...
In physical exercise and sports, the most vulnerable and common areas are the ankles, knees, elbows, hips, and shoulders.
Below are some common injuries, how to recognize them and how to handle them properly.
1. Sprain injury
Sprains are injuries that occur at all ages due to excessive or incorrect movement in daily activities, work, especially sports. If not detected and treated promptly, sprains can leave long-term complications, affecting the quality of life.
According to epidemiological studies, the incidence of sprains is higher in women than in men, and higher in children and adolescents than in adults. These injuries can occur in any part of the body but are most commonly found in the lower and upper limbs, such as the ankle, knee, elbow or wrist. The most common site of sprains is the ankle joint. This is one of the most common sports-related injuries.
Signs include: bruising, inflammation, swelling; inability to move a limb or joint; loose, unstable joints.
If not detected and treated promptly, sprains can leave long-term complications.
The injury may be minor and will heal on its own with ice, splints, and prescribed medication, but if not properly cared for, there is a high risk of recurrence. People who have had severe sprains in the past are more likely to have new sprains in the same place. Treatment may include prolonged splinting or, if more severe, surgery to repair the ligament.
2. Patellar dislocation
Patellar dislocation is more common in athletes, dancers, gymnasts, sports people... the common cause is sudden change in direction or twisting of the knee or strong impact on the inner side of the knee.
This type of injury is common in sports that involve sudden or spontaneous changes in direction (e.g. badminton and tennis). Like most injuries, patellar dislocation causes pain and temporary inability to walk.
Most dislocated kneecaps can be treated without surgery. Common treatments include reduction (manually moving the kneecap into the correct position), joint aspiration to remove excess fluid, immobilization with a cast or splint, and the use of crutches to reduce pressure.
3. Elbow injury
Elbow injuries due to sports are a very common condition. Many people experience this injury when playing sports such as tennis, golf... affecting tendons, muscles, ligaments, bones and joints...
Ankle sprains are inflammation of the tendons that connect to the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow. This results in pain on the outside of the elbow. If the pain persists even after adequate rest, it may be a case of nerve damage.
Elbow injuries are common in people who play sports such as tennis, golf...
If left untreated, elbow injuries can become chronic and last for months and sometimes even years. This is especially true if treatment focuses solely on pain relief rather than correcting the underlying muscle weakness and poor habits that may have led to the condition in the first place.
Doctor's advice
Sports injuries are common, and when you have any suspicious symptoms, you should go to a medical facility for examination and timely treatment. Many sports injuries cause immediate pain or discomfort. On the contrary, some types of injuries can only be noticed after a long time. Therefore, if you regularly play sports, you need to have regular bone and joint health check-ups to screen and detect injuries early.
