For example, contact sports such as football can be expected to result in a higher number of injuries than a noncontact sport such as swimming.However, all types of sports have a potential for injury, whether from the trauma of contact with other players or from overuse or misuse of a body part.he highest rates of injury occur in sports that involve contact and collisions. More severe injuries occur during individual sports and recreational activities. Most organized sports-related injuries (62 percent) occur during practice.
