What are the risk factors for minor injuries?

Anyone can suffer minor injuries, especially those who play contact sports, have a physically demanding job, or lack strength or endurance. Improper sports training, wearing ill-fitting shoes during physical activity, carrying excess weight, and older age are injury risk factors.
