Sports injuries refer to physical damage sustained by individuals during exercise or competition, typically caused by mechanical damage to body tissues. These injuries can result from internal stress accumulated during physical activity as well as external impact forces. Symptoms of sports injuries vary depending on the affected area and may include pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. With appropriate treatment and care, sports injuries can be rehabilitated; however, recovery time depends on the severity of the injury, and a certain period is generally required for full recovery.
