Understanding Common Sports Injuries by Dr. Ashish Kumar Dubey
Dr. Ashish Kumar Dubey, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Education, categorizes common sports injuries into soft tissue injuries, bone injuries, and joint injuries. Soft tissue injuries include sprains, strains, contusions, abrasions, lacerations, and incisions. Sprains are ligament injuries often caused by overstretching or tearing, strains are muscle injuries ranging from mild to severe, contusions result from direct hits on muscles, and abrasions are skin injuries from friction or falls during sports activities. By recognizing these injuries, athletes can better prevent and treat them.
