All About Volleyball Injuries
Volleyball is a high intensity sport that can lead to overuse or acute injuries. Repetitive motions like spiking and blocking, sudden changes in directions, and jumping and landing put players at risk for a variety of injuries. Rotator cuff tendonitis, finger injuries, ankle sprains, patellar tendonitis, and ACL injuries are some of the most common ailments affecting volleyball players.
The good news is that many of these injuries can be prevented. Focused strength training on the lower back, shoulders, and legs, as well as wearing knee or ankle braces can reduce a player’s chance of injury.
