As a result, more and more reported injuries from either the exercises<br>or work have ensued. These injuries could happen as much in young people as in<br>the elderly and could take place in either one of these forms: acute injuries,<br>overused injuries (injury that occurs to a specific organ of the body which has been<br>overused for a long period of time), or systemic injuries.<\/p><p>Risk factors of the said injuries are numerous but can be categorized in 2<br>main groups as follows:<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A patient\u2019s intrinsic factors i.e., age, gender, underlying conditions,<br>proper training, sports skill, mental health etc.<\/li><li>A patient\u2019s extrinsic factors i.e., type of sports played, position in the<br>game, weather condition, game period, sports equipment etc.<\/li><\/ol><p>To avoid possible injuries during the exercise, it is advised that those<br>interested in doing the exercise prepare themselves well and assess probable risks<br>from such activities by warming up the body first before the exercise and cooling it<br>down after the exercise to reduce the chance of injury. However, if an injury was<br>inevitable, proper and preliminary care is very important. The patient should then<br>be transferred to the right place for an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.<\/p><p>In providing a preliminary care to an injured patient, doctors will adhere to<br>the RICE protocol, that is,<br>R Rest: stop using the injured organ which might encompass an option of<br>splinting it in case that such injury is severe or deforming.<br>I Ice: use cold compression to mitigate the swelling, pain, inflammation and<br>avoid using warm compression or massage at the injured area.<br>C Compression: by using gauze to mitigate the swelling at the injured area,<br>Nevertheless, the compression must not be too tight.<br>E Elevation: by lifting the injured part in parallel to the heart to reduce the<br>swelling.<\/p><p>The Sports Medicine Clinic is ready to provide consultations to those<br>interested in doing physical exercise about the preparations and prevention of the<br>injuries therefrom.
