What Causes Sports Injuries?

Sports injuries can happen suddenly or build up over time due to:

• Poor technique or biomechanics
• Muscle imbalances or weaknesses
• Lack of proper warm-up or cool-down
• Overtraining or repetitive strain
• Inadequate recovery between sessions
• Sudden increases in training intensity

In Dubai’s active fitness community, from CrossFit to padel tennis, sports injuries are all too common, but highly treatable.
