Chronic injuries result from prolonged repetitive motion, common in endurance sports, while acute injuries occur suddenly, often due to trauma. Differentiating between these types of injuries is essential for athletes to know how to handle them effectively.

Injuries: Chronic and Acute

Chronic injuries are overuse injuries caused by repetitive stress on specific body areas, common in sports like running and cycling. On the other hand, acute injuries happen suddenly, often due to accidents or collisions during sports activities. It is important for student-athletes to be able to identify and differentiate between these two types of injuries to ensure proper treatment and recovery.
