SPORTS INJURIES: ARE THEY WORTH THE RISK? [+] serious ballot by patch22us ACTIVE Wed Mar 26, 08 - Sat Apr 05, 08 All physically demanding sports have a high degree of risk for bodily injury. Some of the more high-impact sports are notorious for the cause of bodily injury, weather those injuries be mild or extensive. Tennis can cause serious damage to your elbow joints, as well as to your ankle and knee joints. Baseball is known to cause injury to your shoulder joints, in particular, Rotator Cuff syndrome. Football causes major injuries to your back, arms, legs and hips. Soccer in particular is known to potentially cause sprains in your back, legs and basically, all over your body. Because you have to be very limber and have to contort your body in "unnatural" ways in Soccer, groin injury, head injury, ankle, knee and hip injuries are very common place. Given this threat, in your opinion, is playing the sport worth the potential injury? Keep in mind that Sports Medicine is extremely progressive and is based more on prevention techniques and maintenance than it is on radical correction (e.g. muscle relaxation exercises, massage techniques, chiropractic maintenance, etc.) So is it worth it? Yes, given the risk to life-ling injury has been minimized, it is worth it No, I would be afraid Depends on the price you put on the sport Yes, if I would make millions of dollars Ballot #124879 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
