In the 2005 high school basketball year, 3.6% of reported injuries were concussions, with 30.5% of concussions occurring during rebounds. [52] Incidence rates for concussions in NCAA men's basketball is lower than NCAA women's basketball, at 0.16 concussion per 1,000 athletes compared to 0.22 per 1,000 athletes respectively.
Researchers have reported an overall incidence of 0.89 injuries/1000 hours for high school track and field athletes, while others have found specific injury incidence in youth track and field varies among disciplines, with a reported incidence rate of 3.9 injuries/1000 hours of practice in senior athletics.
On-field predictors of injury severity can define return-to-play guidelines and urgency of care, but past criteria have either lacked sufficient incidence for effective utility, [10] [11] did not directly address the severity of the injury, [12] or have become cumbersome and fraught with inter-rater reliability issues.
Q. I am a 19-year-old competitive basketball player who has had low back pain for three months. The more I play, the worse it hurts. Rebounding and shooting hurt the most. I have no pain going ...

A sprained ankle (twisted ankle, rolled ankle, turned ankle, etc.) is an injury where sprain occurs on one or more ligaments of the ankle. It is the most commonly occurring injury in sports, mainly in ball sports such as basketball, volleyball, football, pickleball, and tennis. [1]
Sports biomechanics is the quantitative based study and analysis of athletes and sports activities in general. It can simply be described as the physics of sports. Within this specialized field of biomechanics, the laws of mechanics are applied in order to gain a greater understanding of athletic performance through mathematical modeling, computer simulation and measurement.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has classified sports based on the likelihood of collision and contact. It recommends against participation in boxing. [20]Those classified as contact and collision sports include basketball, boxing, diving, field hockey, football, ice hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, rodeo, rugby, ski jumping, soccer, team handball, water polo, and wrestling.
