RESUMO

Inadequate treatment of sports injuries may result in complications and disability. Sports injuries can be prevented through thorough physical conditioning, building up of muscle bulk, adequate warm up, appropriate clothing and equipment, a well balanced diet and nutrition and pre-season physical examination. In sport, most injuries involve muscles and tendons, joint and ligament damage including displacement and/or rupture and soft tissue injuries. Early therapy is referred to as the RICE therapy; rest, ice, compression and elevation
