Summary
*Exercising is good for you, but sometimes you can injure yourself when you
play sports or exercise. *
*|Accidents, poor training practices, or improper gear can cause them. *
*Some people get hurt because they are not in shape. Not warming up or
stretching enough can also lead to injuries. *
*The most common sports injuries are*
- *Sprains and strains <https://medlineplus.gov/sprainsandstrains.html>*
- *Knee injuries <https://medlineplus.gov/kneeinjuriesanddisorders.html>*
- * Swollen muscles *
- * Achilles tendon injuries *
- * Pain along the shin bone *
- *Rotator cuff injuries
<https://medlineplus.gov/rotatorcuffinjuries.html>*
- *Fractures <https://medlineplus.gov/fractures.html>*
- *Dislocations <https://medlineplus.gov/dislocations.html>*
*If you get hurt, stop playing. Continuing to play or exercise can cause
more harm. *
*Treatment often begins with the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, and
Elevation) method to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and speed healing.
Other possible treatments include pain relievers, keeping the injured area
from moving, rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery.*

Overview
*In a severe impact to the head, the brain moves and hits the skull causing
injury. During a boxing match, the brain moves from side to side after the
impact of a punch. Following a concussion head injury, confusion and
disorientation due to temporary distortion of the brain may result.*
