How to Prevent Sports Injuries
Sports and recreational activities cause more than 8.6 million injuries every year. You may be surprised to learn that the top two causes in people younger than 24 are general exercise and basketball. They’re followed by football, gymnastics, pedal cycling, and soccer. Over the age of 25, however, injuries are primarily caused by recreational sports, water sports, basketball, and pedal cycling. Recreational sports include everything from racquet sports, golf, and bowling to hiking and fishing.
