What injuries are there in basketball?

Basketball is a very good sport. During the exercise, people's thinking can also be exercised to a certain extent. However, due to the long exercise time, it is easy to cause some damage to various organs of the body, such as muscles, ankles, fingers, etc. Let us understand together for friends who are new to basketball, some of the main injuries it may cause to the body, and pay attention to them during normal exercise.

1. Wrap your ankle with tape (bandage, bandage) before practicing to prevent ankle sprains. However, the most effective method is still to do ankle warm-up exercises and side-kicking exercises, which can also strengthen the muscles involved. If you unfortunately sprain your ankle, first apply cold compress to the affected area and then apply appropriate pressure. Only ice water can be used for cold compress. When applying pressure, first place a sponge and then wrap it with an elastic bandage over the sponge.

2. Finger puncture injuries are caused by strong impacts on the fingers. Prevention method: Do warm-up exercises for your fingers thoroughly. Finger injuries can be divided into five categories according to their severity: 1. sprain, 2. dislocation, 3. fracture, 4. tendon rupture, and 5. contusion (skin rupture). If a sprain occurs, the treatment method is the same as sprains in other parts of the body. Apply cold compress first, and after 2 to 3 days, keep the area warm and massage at the same time. When dislocated, you should be able to endure the pain and let the medical staff straighten your finger, restore it to its original shape, and then treat it in the same way as before. As for serious bruises, fractures, and tendon ruptures on fingers, do not move and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

3. Muscle dislocation applies sudden force (flexion and extension) to the muscle, causing the muscle fibers in the muscle or part of the muscle membrane to rupture, resulting in internal bleeding. Prevention method: Before practicing, rub and relax the muscles in various parts of the body, especially players with hard muscles should pay special attention in the seasons with sudden changes in temperature. The treatment method is as follows: If it occurs in the leg, first fix the knee for 2 to 3 days, do not move it at will, and apply cold compress with water or ice. Wrapping a bandage can prevent the internal bleeding from expanding. After this treatment, keep the body warm and engage in some relaxing activities. The characteristic of this treatment is that after the internal bleeding stops, although the body still feels stiff, it is necessary to move slightly.

Basketball is not only a sport that can improve one's physique, it can also be a good exercise for teamwork, coordination, and flexibility. However, when exercising, it is best to protect the key positions mentioned above in advance, and then do sufficient warm-up preparation to minimize the degree of damage to the body.
