Which of the following is a common injury type mentioned in the material?

• A. Overuse
• B. Dislocation
• C. Abrasion
• D. Contusion

Answer: (A)

Overuse injuries come from repetitive stress without enough time to recover, which is a common topic in introductory fitness material. They develop gradually from repeated motions (like running, jumping, or repetitive throwing) and can affect muscles, tendons, or bones. Because the body isn’t given sufficient rest between activities or training increases, these injuries show up frequently in beginners and in anyone increasing workload too quickly. Symptoms often include ongoing pain or soreness that lingers with activity and eases with rest, making them the typical example discussed.

Dislocations often result from a single forceful impact that shifts a joint out of place, abrasions are skin injuries from friction, and contusions are bruises from a blunt hit. While those injuries occur, the material usually emphasizes overuse as the most common type.
