During school games in Malaysia, students often participate in various sports, leading to a range of injuries. Some of the most common types of injuries include:

1.Sprains and Strains: These are very common, especially in sports like football, basketball, and athletics. They often affect the ankles, knees, and wrists

2.Fractures: Broken bones can occur from falls or collisions, particularly in contact sports like rugby and football

3.Dislocations: Joints, especially shoulders and fingers, can be dislocated during activities that involve a lot of physical contact or falls

4.Concussions: Head injuries are a serious concern, especially in sports like football and rugby where collisions are frequent

5.Overuse Injuries: These include conditions like shin splints and tendinitis, which result from repetitive stress on muscles and joints
Ensuring proper warm-ups, using appropriate protective gear, and educating students on safe playing techniques can help reduce the risk of these injuries.
