Volleyball is a game played between two opposing sides, with six players on each team, where players use their hands to hit the ball over the net and try to make the ball land on the opposing team side of the court. Volleyball is played by over 800 million people worldwide, making it one of the most popular sports in the world. Volley has some risk involved with it because there are some injuries that occur in very common players; this includes ankle injuries, shoulder injuries, foot injuries and knee injuries.

A sprained ankle
The majority of sprained ankles in volleyball occur when a player on the net, either blocking or Spiking. The reason why ankle sprains happen on the internet is because blocking and spiking involves jumping and possibly landing on the opponent's leg causing injury. Approximately 50 percent of all sprained ankles in volleyball occur when the blockers land at the foot of the attacking player, while about 25 percent occurs when the blocker lands at the feet of his team-mate himself after the block with some blockers involved.
One possible situation that has the possibility of causing an ankle sprainer is when the ball is set too tight or close to the net. When the ball gets close to the net, players who try to jump the ball should jump closer to the net which means they have a higher chance of landing over the center line on the pitch. By doing this both blockers and attackers are at an increased risk of their ankle sprain. There are some simple ways in which ankle sprain can be prevented, which includes rule changes, technical training and strapping or strengthening the ankle.

Shoulder injury
There are currently a lot of shoulder injuries in volleyball and it is still unknown how these numbers can be managed. Large shoulder injuries because the shoulder is constantly under pressure during the spiking movement and can often cause injury to the shoulder. Stress is caused by twisting the arm around the shoulder joint at high speed. However there are several spiking techniques, including traditional and alternative techniques, which have different risks to the shoulder. Alternate spiking methods are said to be a possible precaution for some of the injuries that occur in the shoulder and also improve the performance of the athlete.
Jumper's knee
Jumper's knee is an injury term used in a volleyball cycle that describes the mechanism of injury known as patellar tendinopathy, patellar tendinosis or patellar tendonitis. Jumper's knee is defined as tendon tendon syndrome, local tenderness and adverse performance of the athlete. in the early phase of knee injury Jumper tendon with knee is usually inflamed. If the Jumper's knee becomes a chronic injury, which usually occurs as the age increases, the tendon shows an increase in degeneration and little to no inflation. As the etiology and pathology of the knee Jumper is not known the treatments vary and are largely based on trial and error basis.
The knee jumper is said to occur after frequent actions involving rapid acceleration and declaration, eccentric activity and rapid cutting action. When spikes involve jumps, where rapid acceleration occurs when jumping and rapid decelerations on landing, this action is a possible cause of Jumper's knee. Also blocking is a possible cause of Jumper knee because it involves jumping and landing quickly. However, Jumper knees are less common among athletes competing in beach volleyball than those who play indoor volleyball. This is because beach volleyball is played in the sand that reduces the impact of landing on the knee.
Other Common Precautions, Treatments and Injuries
There are ways to prevent injuries such as stretching, proper hydration, conditioning, and more. Also, knee pads needed to help avoid knee injuries and ankle braces are often used as a way to stabilize ankles while jumping. The volley-related injuries are most commonly found in the ankles, fingers, shoulders, knees, and back. These include tendentious rotator cuff, torn ACL, patellar tendonitis, ligament tear or dislocation in the fingers, ankle sprains, and back pain associated with disc stress or disc herniation. Treatments for these injuries include physical therapy, strength training, and sometimes surgery or tongs. If surgery is required, the time to return to play may vary depending on the severity of the injury. For torn ACLs, recovery for returns is between 6-9 months. Often volleyball injuries are caused by bad shape when blocking and receiving service or punch. Of course, there are times when injuries can not be prevented and unintentional. To avoid injury, conditioning and stretching are essential and properly execute every game.
