Sporting injuries can have a number of causes including:
- Overtraining leading to overuse injuries such as tendinopathies or muscle tears
- Undertraining leading to overload of tissues which are not prepared for the activity
- Incorrect equipment. Training in the wrong footwear can lead to problems ranging from foot and ankle pain to hip and even back pain
- Biomechanics and technique. Running technique can lead to overuse injuries and problems such as runners knee
- Accidents! Gravity can sometimes be your worst enemy. Falls and collisions can lead to sprains and contusions (bruises)
