Tewodros Ayele & The Ten Most Common Injuries In Athletics

The most common sports related injuries, are overuse and strain injuries. An overuse injury results from excessive wear and tear on the body, particularly on areas and muscles subjected to repeated activity such as ankle, knee, shoulder and elbow joints.

Certain types of injuries plague sports participants. Most of them, however, are minor. Knowing the early signs, symptoms and what to do can help prevent them from becoming nagging chronic pain problems.

1. Muscle Pull

A muscle pull, which can happen to almost any muscle in the body. No matter how you warm up and stretch, or cool down and stretch, you may pull a muscle from strain, overuse, fatigue or taking a fall. To prevent a muscle pull, stretch prior to any figorous activity and work your muscles on a regular routine. Often people go too hard and too fast in their exercise or sports activities. Start slow and work your way up to more strenous activity slowly.

A muscle pulls when a sudden, severe force is applied to the muscle and the fibers are stretched beyond their capacity. If only some of the fibers tear, that is a muscle pull. If most of the fibers tear, that is a muscle tear.

2. Neck Strain and Pain

A pulled muscle or a muscle spasm in the neck can happen when a tennis player looks up to serve or hit an overhead smash. The pain is on one side of the neck as the it may be pulled over slightly to that side. It may be very painful to turn the head in the direction of the pain.

Cyclists and mountain bike riders may also feel neck stiffness. After long rides, the neck muscles may tighten up and stiffen or the neck may go into spasms from this awkward position.

3. Frozen Shoulder Injury

The shoulder bones are held together by a group of muscles known as the rotator cuff muscles. These shoulder muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and teres minor) are responsible for the shoulder's fine movements. Because of the shoulder's shallow socket and lack of ligament strength, any weakness of the small, rotator cuff muscles makes it easy for the head of the shoulder to slide around in the joint.

As the shoulder joint and muscles are over stressed with the arm in an overhead position, as it is in softball, tennis, volleyball, swimming and weight training, the small rotator cuff muscles begin to stretch out and may cause joint pain, Frozen Shoulder, and Arthritis, type symptoms or what is also referred to as frozen shoulder.

Frozen shoulder causes the tendons, to become inflamed and painful. Tennis players may experience the pain when they hit an overhead smash or serve. The same shoulder problems and pain can happen to golfers in both the backswing and the follow-through when their shoulders are above parallel to the ground.

4. Strained Lower Back Injury

lmost all sports participants will experience a strained lower back injury at some point, usually from twisting awkwardly to the right or left, lifting a heavy excessive weight or doing some unpracticed sports activity. Strained Lower back injuries are primarily due to weak or tense muscles. Overloading weak or tense muscles may pull or tear fibers and tendons, sending the back muscles into spasm and causing back ache pain problems., .

Often people will injure their lower back due to the fact that the core stomach and back muscle are weak and tense from lack of proper core muscle strenght training exercises. An exercise ball, is an excellent and inexpensive tool for strengthening the core back and stomach muscles, while at the same time strectching the same muscles. The exercise ball can also be used anywhere. Overuse exercise with poor core muscle stregth can lead to severe and potentially chronic lower back pain problems.

5. Tennis Elbow- Tendonitus, Injury

Tennis elbow is really an inflammation of the muscles and tendons of the forearm. These muscles bend the wrist backward and cause the wrist to turn the palm face up. When the muscles and tendons are overused, from playing sports such as tennis, they become inflamed and Tedonitis pain is felt.

Golfers may also suffer from tennis elbow symptoms and injury, a right-handed golfer will feel the pain in the left elbow. Pulling the club through the swing with the left wrist causes irritation in the left elbow.

It is most often seen among golfers, baseball pitchers, tennis players who hit topspin forehands and weight lifters.

6. Runner's Knee Injury, Prevention and Treatment

The most common cause of knee pain, is runner's knee. This problem is due to misalignment of the kneecap in its groove. The kneecap normally goes up or down in the groove as the knee flexes or straightens out. If the kneecap is misaligned, the kneecap pulls off to one side and rubs on the side of the groove. This causes both the cartilage on the side of the groove and the cartilage on the back of the kneecap to wear out. On occasion, fluid will build up and cause swelling symptoms and pain in the knee. Pain can develop around the back of the kneecap or in the back of the knee after participating in any running sport.

7. Shin Splints prevention and Treatment

Saucony Shin splints are pains in the muscles near and around the shin bones. They are usually caused by running and jumping on hard surfaces or simply overuse. The are caused by people unaccustomed to exercise and training, although they can also plague experienced athletes who switch to lighter shoes, harder surfaces or more concentrated running speed work.

The shin splint pain symptoms occurs on the inner side of the middle third of the shin bone. The muscle responsible for raising the arch of the foot attaches to the shin bone at that spot. When the arch collapses with each foot strike, it pulls on the tendon that comes from this muscle. With repeated stress, the arch begins to pull some of its muscle fibers loose from the shin bone. This causes small areas of bleeding around the lining of the bone, and pain.

8. Sprained Twisted Ankle

The most common ankle sprain happens when the foot is twisted, rolls to the outside and sprains the support ligaments on the outside of the ankle. The outside of the ankle immediatly begins swelling up and throbs with pain, and may turn black and blue around the swollen injury.

Sprained ankles can occur with different severity;

• Mild Sprain, for example is when a jogger steps gently off a curb and "twists" an ankle, this simply stretches the ligaments, with no real tearing, and is considered a mild sprain.

• Moderate Sprain is when a tennis player lunges out over a poorly planted foot, partially tearing the fibers of the ligament, that is considered a moderate sprain.

• Severe Sprain is when a volleyball player jumps and lands on another player's foot, twisting and forcing the ankle violently to the court, most or all of the fibers tear, and this is a severe sprain.

If weight-bearing is possible on the ankle after a sprain, the ankle probably is not broken. If you feel pain on the inside of the ankle, then it should be x-rayed to rule out a hair-line fracture.

9. Achilles Tendonitis Injury

The Achilles heel tendon, in the back of the ankle is the largest tendon in the body. It transfers the force of muscle contractions to lift the heel. Achilles tendonitis, is an inflammation of the tendon, usually due to overuse, such as frequent jumping in basketball or volleyball. The most common cause is excessive pronation of the ankle and foot, which causes the Achilles tendon to pull off center.

The pain symptoms of a torn Achilles tendon feels like a gunshot in the leg. A partial tear is harder to spot and symptoms may be more subtle.

10. Foot Arch Pain and Strain

The elastic covering on the sole of the foot--the plantar fascia--runs the length of the foot and holds up the arch. When this shock-absorbing pad becomes inflamed, this is called plantar fasciitis, causing a dull ache along the length of the arch.

The plantar fascia strain and ache in the foot, is due to over-stretching or partially tearing the arch pad. This happens most often to people with rigid, high arches. They feel the pain when they put weight on their foot or when pushing off for the next stride. Pain is particularly intense upon arising or after sitting for a long while.

Foot arch pain is particularly common among middle-aged people who have been sedentary and who suddenly increase their level of physical activity and exercise which makes them more susceptible to foot injury. Runners are most susceptible, but almost any sport that keeps the athlete standing can lead to arch pain.
