Prevention and Rehabilitation for Athletes Injuries on Sports Performance
Abstract
Sports injuries pose a significant threat to athletic performance and career longevity, affecting athletes across all levels of competition. This paper examines the critical roles of prevention and rehabilitation strategies in mitigating these injuries and enhancing athletic ability. It analyses common types and causes of sports injuries, including muscle strains, fractures, and overuse injuries, and explores the intrinsic and extrinsic factors contributing to their occurrence. The paper then outlines comprehensive prevention and rehabilitation frameworks, emphasizing scientifically designed training programs, proper nutrition, rest, and psychological support. A central focus is placed on the importance of technical training in skill development for improving performance and reducing injury risk. Furthermore, the multifaceted effects of injuries on an athlete’s physical and mental well-being are discussed. The analysis concludes by highlighting the benefits of physiotherapy and future trends in athlete care, underscoring the necessity of a holistic approach that integrates physical, psychological, and technical elements to ensure optimal recovery and sustained performance.
