JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. –
With the advent of warm weather, we see an increase in the number of sports-related mishaps. Basketball injuries lead the pack with 50 reported last year during the March to May timeframe. Rock climbing, volleyball, softball, soccer, and other outdoor sports also contribute to injuries and lost productivity.
Since the weather remains cold in some parts of the country, snowboarding accounts for many spring injuries. The best approach to avoiding an injury is to get in shape for your sport and use appropriate, well maintained sports equipment.
