Most frequent sports injuries are sprains (injuries to ligaments) strains (injuries to muscles), and stress fractures (injury to bone) caused when an abnormal stress is placed on tendons, joints, bones and muscle. In a growing child, point tenderness over a bone should be evaluated further by a medical provider even if there is minimal swelling or limitation in motion. Contact your pediatrician if you have additional questions or concerns.
Great athletes are great because they understand the
potential for injuries common to their sport, and take the necessary steps to
prevent them from occurring. Although preventing injuries entirely from
happening is impossible, a little knowledge can go a long way toward keeping
you healthy and fit. Below are nine common sports injuries, many not exclusive
to one particular sport, and some tips for prevention.
Some type of injuries :
Concussion- caused by severe head injury where the brain moves violently within the skull so that brain cells all fire at once, much like a seizure
Muscle Cramps- a sudden tight, intense pain caused by a muscle locked in spasm. Muscle cramps are also recognized as an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax
ACL Sprains- The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a ligament involved in knee stabilization. An ACL rupture can occur when the foot is planted and the knee twists to change direction.
ACL Tears- The anterior cruciate ligament; one of four major knee ligament necessary for comfortable knee movement, tears, causing major pain and causes the knee to "give out". The knee ACL can tear for a number of reasons.
Ankle Sprain- The ligaments that hold the ankle bones in place can easily be overstretched.
Shin Splints- The tissue that attaches the muscles of your lower leg to the shin bone may be pulling away from the bone, or it may be inflamed from overuse.
Muscle Strains- tears in muscle that cause pain and loss of function.

This is how to prevent injuries in sport :
The chance of sustaining an injury depends on many
variables, including the level of participation, player position, protective
equipment, violent behavior, and personal susceptibility due to pre-existing
injuries and style of play. Injuries occur much more frequently in games and
increase with each level of participation.
All
sports have a risk of injury. In general, the more contact in a sport,
the greater the risk of a traumatic injury. However, most injuries in
young athletes are due to overuse.
Most frequent sports injuries are sprains (injuries to ligaments) strains (injuries to muscles), and stress fractures (injury to bone) caused when an abnormal stress is placed on tendons, joints, bones and muscle. In a growing child, point tenderness over a bone should be evaluated further by a medical provider even if there is minimal swelling or limitation in motion. Contact your pediatrician if you have additional questions or concerns. - See more at: https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/news-features-and-safety-tips/pages/sports-injury-prevention-tip-sheet.aspx#sthash.vEzhfKJv.dpuf
