Each sport differs from the other in terms of the range and magnitude of the physical activity. Some of them are highly energy intensive with a range of motions, requiring a certain group of muscles to work more and thus causing fatigue, and sometimes even sports injuries.

Such as an individual performing activities like walking, running, swimming, long jump is more vulnerable to painful injuries like neck pain, knee pain, jerking, ankle sprain, arm-twist, and many more. Several activities like basketball, volleyball, football are incredibly exposed to sports injuries that might take a longer time to cure.
