Known as the "World's Number 1 Sport", it is
the most influential individual sport in the sports world.
Do you know professional football players often
encounter this type of injury?
Ankle sprain
Thigh muscle strain
Calf muscle strain
There are many common abrasions and contusions however, the ankle sprain is the most common injury, followed by the muscle strain on the front and back
of the thigh, and the knee joint injury is the second most
common. Among them, knee ligament injuries, patella fractures, and patella osteochondrosis
are quite rare, but once they do occur, treatment becomes more difficult.
Goalkeepers
are most likely to get injuries to their wrists and elbows because
they often drop the ball
Cause
of injury
Fierce confrontation in the game
In the competition, fierce
competition, sprinting and tackles are prone to muscle strains in the
thighs and calves. Sudden changes in position, sudden twisting of the lower leg
abduction and adduction can cause damage to the knee ligaments and bone
ankle injuries.
Common injuries such as abrasions,
traumatic bursitis, (knee and elbow), knee anterior cruciate ligament or
posterior cruciate ligament injury and meniscus cartilage injury, cerebral
hemorrhage caused by collision, and even concussion.
The causes of these injuries are: athletes'
foul movements and incorrect technique are the main causes of injuries,
followed by poor venues and athletes' excessive fatigue.
1. Insufficient Preparation
Failure to do warm-up activities or
insufficient warm-up activities is another major cause of sports injuries. If
you don’t do well-prepared activities, you are involved in intense training or
competitions. At this time, nerves and muscles are less excited and have a
greater impact. The stimulus is unresponsive.
This makes the muscles and certain ligaments small, limited joint activity, insufficient stretchability, and poor
physical coordination. In this case, muscle strains and joint sprains are
most likely to occur.
2. Fatigue Period
After a long period of high-volume
training or competition, without proper rest, and then strenuous
exercise, all aspects of the body's functions have been greatly reduced
at this time. If you do not add water and electrolytes such as Na+
and K+ in time, It will cause the electrolyte balance in the body
to be disordered, causing muscle excitability to increase and muscle
spasm.
3. Venue
The uneven playing field can easily cause sprains of the
ankle and knee joints.
Or because there is no formal venue,
when practicing on the cement floor, it is easy to cause the players' ankle
and knee joints to have a small cushion and cause injury.
