What do most people think are the injuries of figure skating? Can you elaborate on it?

Most people think that the injury of figure skating has the following five aspects:

1. Muscle strain

Figure skating may lead to muscle strain, aggravated metatarsal and ankle injuries, and severe concussion. Figure skaters are always at risk of injury, because if figure skaters don't receive correct training, they will be injured. At the same time, there may be concussion, muscle and ligament strain and tear when skating.

2. ankle sprain

Figure skating requires athletes to bend their feet at a small angle, so the difficulty coefficient of completing a sport will increase. At the same time, the special shape of figure skating shoes will also aggravate the injury of metatarsal bone. At the same time, figure skaters need to keep balance, so the joints of human body's own weight are also easy to be injured, and the ankle is a very fragile part of human movement, so figure skating still does great harm to the ankle. Fall injury

Fall injury

Many common injuries of figure skaters are caused by falls. No matter in practice or competition, falling will lead to joint sprain, ligament tear, concussion and various bumps and bruises, which will make the body feel tired.

Fall injury

Impact can tear or strain ligaments, especially knees. The injured person may need rehabilitation treatment to recover, and in some cases, surgery is needed. It is not uncommon to fall, hit a fence or collide with other athletes while skating, resulting in concussion. Buffering the impact of the fall with your hands may also lead to sprain or tear of the wrist ligament.

5. Equipment damage

In all sports, the use of sports equipment of appropriate size, consistent with skills and age can effectively avoid injuries. It is very important for figure skaters to choose skates. The American Sports Medicine Association pointed out that frequent friction between the foot and the shoelaces of skates may cause inflammation and pain in the front of the ankle, which is also called "laceration". Another instrument injury is "friction heel swelling". This refers to the obvious protrusion caused by the constant friction of the heel in the shoe. This symptom is sometimes accompanied by achilles tendon pain. In order to avoid equipment damage, skaters should regularly check whether their skates and feet are worn. They shouldn't wear inappropriate skates. When necessary, they should change their skates and skates, and their shoelaces should not be tied too tightly.
