Wikipedia defines sports injuries as injuries that occur to athletes in major sporting events. In a lot of cases these type of injuries are due to overuse of a particular part of a body when participating in a certain activity. Examples of these are a runner's knee which is a painful condition generally associated with running, while a tennis elbow is a form of a repetitive stress injury at the elbow which often occur with tennis players. Other types of these injuries can be caused by hard contact with something which often lead to broken bones or a torn ligament or tendon. All of these sports injuries can be generally classified as either traumatic or overuse injuries. Traumatic injuries mostly happen in contact sports such as Rugby, Football, Gaelic football and American football. This is because of the dynamic and highly collision of such sports. These injuries range from bruises, muscle strains, to fracture and head injuries. All of these traumatic injuries cause damage to the cells that make up the soft tissue. These dead and damaged cells release off chemicals that initiate the inflammatory response.
