Which item is identified as one of the injury types in the material (as a 1/3 type)?

• A. Side stitch
• B. Overuse
• C. Sprain
• D. Fracture

Answer: (B)

In the material, injuries are described as belonging to three broad types, with one of them being overuse injuries. Overuse injuries happen from repetitive stress applied to tissues over time, rather than from a single acute incident. This makes it the best fit for the “1/3 type” category being referenced.

Side stitch isn’t an injury type; it’s a symptom or discomfort that can occur during activity. Sprain and fracture are specific injuries resulting from a sudden event (acute trauma) to ligaments or bones, respectively, and are not the broad overuse category being described. Understanding this helps you see why overuse is identified as the 1/3 type: it’s the category that covers injuries caused by repetitive stress, not the particular acute injuries or symptom-level conditions.
