Types of sports injuries
Some of the more common sports injuries include:
Ankle sprain – symptoms include pain, swelling and stiffness.
Bruises – a blow can cause small bleeds into the skin.
Concussion – mild reversible brain injury from a blow to the head, which may be associated with loss of consciousness. Symptoms include headache, dizziness and short term memory loss.
Cuts and abrasions – are usually caused by falls. The knees and hands are particularly prone.
Dehydration – losing too much fluid can lead to heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Dental damage – a blow to the jaw can crack, break or dislodge teeth.
Groin strain – symptoms include pain and swelling.
Hamstring strain – symptoms include pain, swelling and bruising.
Knee joint injuries – symptoms include pain, swelling and stiffness. The ligaments, tendons or cartilage can be affected.
Nose injuries – either blood nose or broken nose, are caused by a direct blow.
Stress fractures – particularly in the lower limbs. The impact of repeated jumping or running on hard surfaces can eventually stress and crack bone.
