Just like the sport itself is very diverse, so are the injuries commonly sustained in it. In addition to bruises and cuts that result mostly from falls, sprains and strains are very common among heptathletes. 

This sport requires a lot of movement, so it can be very traumatic. Fractures, muscle pulls or tears often happen in the large muscles of the legs. Knee and shoulder injuries are some of the most serious heptathlon injuries that may lead to serious consequences and may require a surgery. Properly fitted sound footwear is crucial for safe competition in this discipline. Good warm-up before the start is essential, as well as the cool down during the breaks. As this sport is very demanding, you’ll need to train a lot before competing. Poor training may be one of the main reasons for trauma in heptathlon.
