BRIEF INTRODUCTION
As a sport, Arnis develops special abilities, quickness and coordination, and
in the perfect implementation of the skills. A special physical benefit gained
by Arnis practitioners is the training of the less dominant arm. Given that
Arnis employs the use of two sticks, the less dominant arm is exercised and
developed. In addition to the physical attributes, Arnis also develops mental
qualities such as daringness, precision and alertness.

Management and Prevention of Sports Related Injuries

Sports injuries – might happen during exercise or while participating in a

sport. Kids are mostly at risk for these types of injuries, but adults can get
them too.
https://www.healthline.com/health/sports-injuries#treatment

You’re at risk for sports injuries if you:

1. Haven’t been regularly active
2. Don’t do movement preparation properly before exercise
3. Play contact sports

Types of Sports Injuries - Different sports injuries produce different

symptoms and complications. The most common types of sports injuries
include:
1. Sprains - Overstretching or tearing the ligaments results in a sprain.
Ligaments are pieces of tissue that connect two bones to one another in a
joint.

https://www.footcaremd.org/resources/how-to-help/how-to-care-for-a-sprained-ankle

9
2. Strains - Overstretching or tearing muscles or tendons results in a
sprain. Tendons are thick, fibrous cords of tissue that connect bone to
muscle. Strains are commonly mistaken for sprains. Here’s how tell them
apart.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(injury)

3. Knee injuries - Any injury that interferes with how the knee joint moves
could be a sports injury. It could range from an overstretch to a tear in the
muscles or tissues in the knee.

https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/common-knee-injuries/

4. Swollen Muscles - Swelling is a natural reaction to an injury. Swollen

muscles may also be painful and weak.

https://www.pinterest.de/pin/253186810281068845/

10
5. Achilles Tendon Rupture - The Achilles tendon is a thin, powerful tendon at
the back of your ankle. During sports, this tendon can break or rupture. When it
does, you may experience sudden, severe pain and difficulty walking.

https://www.physio-pedia.com/Achilles_Rupture

6. Fractures - Bone fractures are also known as broken bones.

https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/open-fractures/

11
7. Dislocations - Sports injuries may dislocate a bone in your body. When
that happens, a bone is forced out of its socket. This can be painful and lead
to swelling and weakness.

https://maxremedial.com/blog/httpsmaxremedialcom/blog-page-blogs-1

8. Rotator Cuff Injury - Four pieces of muscle work together to form the
rotator cuff. The rotator cuff keeps your shoulder moving in all directions. A
tear in any of these muscles can weaken the rotator cuff.
