Abstract

Sports injuries are more likely to occur now than they were in previous years as sports have gained more and more popularity, especially when athletes participate in training and competition. During the 2012 Summer Olympics, 17.7% of athletes sustained injuries, with 59.7 injuries per 1,000 registered athletes being reported by medical professionals. How sports injuries occur and how to solve them is one of the key topics of current research. The study found that track and field sports injuries are mainly divided into two types: acute and chronic. Due to the competitive nature of track and field, acute injuries account for a large proportion, and chronic injuries are mainly caused by acute injuries that have not recovered for a long time and invested in follow-up training. Clarifying the mechanism of the risk of sports injuries to track and field athletes and how to recover properly from an injury is the foundation and guarantee for scientific training of track and field events. Therefore, this article collects recent literature on sports injury research and analyzes the data from the literature to investigate the different kinds of injuries that happen in track and field sports, as well as the underlying mechanisms and available treatment options.
