According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 481,000 basketball-related injuries were treated in hospitals, doctors' offices, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital emergency rooms in 2007.
Most common injuries in basketball are of the ankle and knees but shoulders too are vulnerable because of the excessive, repetitive, overhead motion.
To help prevent injuries always take time to warm up and stretch.
Research studies have shown that cold muscles are more prone to injury.
Warm up with Wonderweight, jumping jacks, stationary cycling or running or walking in place for 3 to 5 minutes.
