  2. Strain (injury) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(injury)

    A strain can occur as a result of improper body mechanics with any activity (e.g., contact sports, lifting heavy objects) that can induce mechanical trauma or injury.. Generally, the muscle or tendon overstretches and is placed under more physical stress than it can withsta

  3. Repetitive strain injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetitive_strain_injury

    Repetitive strain injury (RSI) and associative trauma orders are umbrella terms used to refer to several discrete conditions that can be associated with repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, sustained or awkward positions, or repetitive eccentric contractions.

  4. Musculoskeletal injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculoskeletal_injury

    Musculoskeletal injuries can affect any part of the human body including; bones, joints, cartilages, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and other soft tissues. [1] Symptoms include mild to severe aches, low back pain, numbness, tingling, atrophy and weakness. [1] [2] These injuries are a result of repetitive motions and actions over a period of time. [6]

  5. Delayed onset muscle soreness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness

    Counterintuitively, continued exercise may temporarily suppress the soreness. Exercise increases pain thresholds and pain tolerance. This effect, called exercise-induced analgesia, is known to occur in endurance training (running, cycling, swimming), but little is known about whether it also occurs in resistance training. There are claims in ...

    Other intrinsic factors are age, weight, body composition, height, [5] lack of flexibility or range of motion, coordination, balance, and endurance. In addition, biological factors such as pes planus, pes cavus, and valgus or varus knees can cause an athlete to have improper biomechanics and become predisposed to injury. [25]

    Environmental, operational, or design factors can all negatively impact a worker or user; examples include whole-body or hand/arm vibration, poor lighting, or poorly designed tools, equipment, or workstations. Some of the common body regions where injuries may occur include: Muscles or ligaments of the lower back; Muscles or ligaments of the neck

  9. Sports biomechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_biomechanics

    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.
