Netball is a sport characterised by rapid transitions between sprinting, stopping, and jumping, placing significant strain on the lower limbs, particularly the ankles and knees. Upper limb injuries, such as those affecting the shoulders and wrists, are also common due to the repetitive nature of passing and shooting movements. Additionally, netball players are at risk of traumatic injuries from collisions with opponents or landing awkwardly after jumping for a ball.

Hiking involves traversing uneven terrain, navigating steep inclines and descents, and carrying a backpack with essential gear, placing unique stresses on the musculoskeletal system. Common hiking injuries can affect the lower limbs, including the ankles, knees, and hips, as well as the upper body, particularly the shoulders and back. Additionally, overuse injuries such as tendinitis and stress fractures can develop from repetitive movements and prolonged exertion on the trail.

Cycling involves repetitive movements of the lower body, as well as prolonged periods of time spent in a fixed position, placing unique stresses on the body. Common cycling injuries can affect the lower limbs, such as the knees, hips, and ankles, as well as the upper body, particularly the neck, shoulders, and wrists.

A tendon tear, also known as a tendon rupture, occurs when the tendon, which is the tissue that connects muscle to bone, is partially or completely torn.

A muscle tear, also known as a muscle strain or muscle rupture, occurs when muscle fibres are stretched beyond their limit, resulting in damage to the muscle tissue.

Inflammation and swelling are part of the body's natural response to acute injury, and while they may seem bothersome, they serve several important purposes in the healing process.

Plyometric exercise training involves explosive movements that utilize the stretch-shortening cycle of muscles to generate maximal force in a short amount of time.

Muscles can be subjected to various types of loads during movement and exercise: Concentric load, Eccentric load, Isometric load
