Sports Injury
I got hurt while working out.
Excessive exercises may lead to possible injuries. Sports that apply strong force to the muscles and bones, such as soccer, or sports with wide motion radius, such as golf, have even higher possibilities of getting injured. Typical sports injuries include sprains in waist, knees, or ankles, ligament injury, bursitis, and cartilage injury.
Causes
-
Using inappropriate equipment, or lack of skills
-
Poor protective gears or warm-ups
-
Innately deformed bone shapes, such as flat feet

Weak or imbalanced muscles
Symptoms
- Damaged tendons, which connect bones to muscles (sprains)
- Severe pain that cause difficulties in moving shoulders (rotator cuff damage)

- Difficulties in using elbows due to inflammation (tennis/golf elbow)
