Sample Answer
- Incorrect landing mechanics – Poor technique causes excessive joint compression in ankles, knees and hips, potentially leading to acute injuries.
- Abnormal force distribution – Impact forces travel through misaligned bones creating stress fractures, particularly in weight-bearing bones like tibia and metatarsals.
- First aid requirements – RICER protocol needed for acute injuries, joint stabilisation to prevent further damage, and medical referral for suspected fractures.
