  1. Tips by Chris Hanson Mendham for Avoiding Common Sports Injuries Being an exhilarating and awe-inspiring field doesn't make sports an invincible world. One common downside of playing sports is the high susceptibility of the players to injuries. Being limited by injuries is not something any sports enthusiast would wish for. This scenario can be prevented in its entirety if you are careful about the training rules and adhere to appropriate precautionary measures. Granted injuries are an inevitable part of sports but inserting some efficient avoidance tactics while you play can diminish your injury prone state considerably. Sports injuries are generally caused due to overuse or trauma. Of the two causes, overuse is the most common injury reported in athletes.
