1 There are two basic types of injuries stemming from fitness-related activities: traumatic injuries and overuse injuries. Traumatic injuries occur suddenly and violently, typically by accident. Typical traumatic injuries are broken bones, torn ligaments and muscles, contusions, and lacerations. If your traumatic injury causes a noticeable loss of function and immediate pain or pain that does not go away after 30 minutes, consult a physician.

2 Doing too much intense exercise, or doing too much exercise without variation, can increase the likelihood of overuse injuries. Overuse injuries are those that result from the cumulative effects of day-after-day stresses placed on tendons, muscles, and joints during exercise. These injuries occur most often in repetitive activities such as swimming, running, bicycling, and step aerobics. The forces that occur normally during physical activity are not enough to cause a ligament sprain or muscle strain, but when these forces are applied daily for weeks or months, they can result in an injury.
3 First aid treatment for virtually all personal fitness injuries involves RICE: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Rest, the first component of this treatment, is required to avoid further irritation of the body part. Ice is applied to relieve pain and constrict the blood vessels to stop any internal or external bleeding. Ice should be applied to a new injury for approximately 20 minutes every hour for the first 24 to 72 hours. Compression of the injured body part can be accomplished with a 4- or 6-inch-wide elastic bandage; this applies indirect pressure to damaged blood vessels to help stop bleeding. Be careful, though, that the compression wrap does not interfere with normal blood flow. Throbbing or pain in the injured part indicates that the compression wrap should be loosened. Elevation of an injured extremity above the level of your heart also helps to control internal or external bleeding by making the blood flow upward to reach the injured area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above paragraph shows the two main components of types of injuries that occur during fitness exercises. Two major types namely Traumatic Injuries and Overuse injuries.

Anything that suddenly became intense results in catastrophes and anything that is used for prolonged periods without rest leads to injuries.

And also it educates about the steps taken to tolerate the pain during those injuries.

The whole point of this paragraph is insisting on Injuries that arises due to fitness exercises, it is clear that this para is about Fitness-Related Injuries
