Other sports players

Some sports are obviously more susceptible to incurring sports injuries as the rules of the sport allow for tackles and scrums etc. These are called contact sports. For instance, after a rugby game, players will often come away with at least a few bruises from tackling or being tackled by other players. In non-contact sports, players can also sustain injuries from other players from foul tackles or accidental collisions.
