What are sports injuries?
Sports injuries occur when playing sports or while exercising due to accidents, over- or under-training, improper use of protective devices, insufficient warm-up or recovery, and poor nutrition. These injuries can affect athletes of all levels, from beginners to professionals, and can range from mild sprains and strains to more severe conditions that may require surgical intervention.
