## TL;DR

Sports injuries affect 8.6 million Americans annually (CDC), with the knee (25%), ankle (18%), and shoulder (15%) being the most common sites. Evidence-based prevention programs — such as FIFA 11+ for soccer and the PEP Program for ACL injuries — reduce injury rates by 30-50%. The rehabilitation process follows a progressive overload model: protect → restore range of motion → rebuild strength → retrain neuromuscular control → return to sport.

## Core Explanation

Injury classification: acute (sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations) and overuse (tendinopathies, stress fractures, bursitis). The most-studied injuries: ACL tears — occur 2-8x more frequently in female athletes due to biomechanical and hormonal factors; FIFA 11+ (20-minute warm-up, 2-3x/week) reduces ACL injuries by 50% and overall injuries by 30% in soccer. Concussion management follows the graduated return-to-play protocol (6 stages, minimum 24h per stage, per Berlin Consensus Statement 2016). RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) has been largely replaced by PEACE & LOVE (Protection, Elevation, Avoid anti-inflammatories, Compression, Education + Load, Optimism, Vascularization, Exercise) in acute management. The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) publish evidence-based injury prevention guidelines. Return-to-sport testing includes: isokinetic strength symmetry (≥90% limb symmetry index), hop tests, and sport-specific movement quality.
