More about basketball
Despite the fact that basketball is played at a high pace and is considered a contact sport, serious injuries are far less common than in collision sports such as Rugby and Football. For this reason it’s categorised as a low to moderate risk sport within group 1. Common injuries associated with basketball can include sprains and ligament tears. Regular play can result in Achilles tendinitis due to the eccentric forces through the tendon from jumping and landing.
Although basketball is considered low risk it’s still recommended that adequate insurance is taken out for protection against injuries and associated treatment costs.
