Abstract

Sports injuries are a significant concern in athletic populations, encompassing a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal, neurological, and systemic conditions resulting from athletic participation. This research article explores the diverse mechanisms underlying sports injuries, identifies risk factors contributing to injury occurrence, and discusses evidencebased strategies for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and optimized return to sport. By synthesizing current knowledge and clinical practices, this review aims to inform healthcare professionals, coaches, and athletes on effective strategies to mitigate the impact of sports injuries and promote long-term athletic health.
