Impact injury

Any impacting force, be it an opponent's elbow in the face, a cricket ball in the thigh, or a bang on the head from a fall, can result in anything from a minor bruise to a fracture, concussion, or worse. The various keys to preventing impact injuries include: adherence to rules, wearing adequate protection, being fit, agile and reactive for the activities being performed.
