ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Professional aerobic exercises require high performance from exercisers. Injuries are common during their execution. Understanding the causal reasons is essential for prevention methods to reduce athletes’ injuries.

Objective:

Investigate the influential factors of ligament injuries caused by aerobic exercise.

Methods:

This paper analyzes the injuries caused by aerobic exercise through mathematical statistics. Time, course, degree of injury, location of the injury, cause, early treatment time, primary approach, treatment methods, recovery conditions, and speed in recovery time of sports injuries were investigated.

Results:

Injuries are mainly concentrated at the hip, knee, and ankle joint level; sprains are the first injuries, followed by muscle strains, lower back muscle contractures, kneecap deformities, and joint ligament injuries. The leading causes of injuries were poor warm-up, excessive load, technical errors, and fatigue.

Conclusion:

Various physiotherapy methods can improve the recovery rate from ligament injuries. This method can also improve sports ligament injuries’ prevention and treatment effects. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the result.
