No athlete is immune to injuries. Fans of professional sports are well aware of that notion, as many a team’s season has been adversely affected by injury to one or more players. In fact, a comprehensive and longitudinal study of injury trends in Major League Baseball published in the American Journal of Orthopedics in 2016 found that players lost an average of 25,186 days to injury each year between 1998 and 2015. If injuries are that common in the professional sports arena, where players have daily access to experienced and highly trained medical staff, it’s fair to conclude that amateur athletes are equally if not more vulnerable to injury.
