Sports injury

Sports injuries occur during participation in sports or exercise in general. Globally, around 40% of individuals engage in some form of regular exercise or organized sports,[1] with upwards of 60% of US high school students participating in one or more sports.[2] Sports injuries account for 15 - 20% of annual acute care visits[3] with an incidence of 1.79 - 6.36 injuries per 1,000 hours of participation.[4] Sports injuries can be broken down into the types of injuries, risk factors and prevention and the overall impact that injuries have on athletes.
