Some injuries are more commonly associated with a sport due to the type of repetitive or energetic moves required. NHS Inform lists injuries that are particularly associated with certain sports:³

• Football Cuts, bruises and minor head injuries from collisions, hamstring injuries, torn anterior cruciate ligaments (in the knee), broken bones
• Running and jogging Heel pain, tendonitis (notably the Achilles tendon), shin splints, stress fractures (caused by overworked muscles not being able to absorb added shock, putting bones under stress and resulting in a small crack in the bone)
• Athletics Shoulder, elbow or wrist injuries from throwing actions, leg problems similar to running injuries, spinal problems if the sport involves jumping
• Golf Back/shoulder pain, golfer's elbow (chronic tendon damage), carpal tunnel syndrome
• Cycling Runner's knee, heel pain, blisters on the hands or feet, finger numbness, strains and sprains, collision injuries
• Racquet sports Collision injuries (with the court surface or another player), racquet/ball/shuttlecock strike
• Rugby Severe bruising, strains and sprains, broken bones, concussion and damage to discs in the spine
• Cricket Hamstring injuries (from periods of standing around followed by a sudden sprint), strained ankles and shoulder tendonitis among bowlers, back pain among wicketkeepers and fielders, cricket ball strike
• Swimming Although injuries are considered less likely as the body is supported, poor technique or not allowing sufficient recovery time may cause shoulder pain.
