Strains - A strain is a partial or complete tear of a muscle or tendon.
Muscle tissue is made up of cells that contract and make the body move.
A tendon consists of tough connective tissue that attaches muscles to bones. Contusions - The most common sports injury is a contusion or bruise. Bruises result when a blunt injury causes underlying bleeding in a muscle or other soft tissues. Skeletal Injuries Skeletal injuries - A sudden, violent collision with another player, an accident with sports equipment, or a severe fall can cause skeletal injuries in the growing athlete, including fractures. Fractures constitute a low 5 to 6 percent of all sports injuries.
