Lots of people are engaged in sports and physical activities in Russia.

Definitely some sports are traumatic such artistic gymnastics, boxing, wrestling, running, throwing, but it preferably depends on the athlete himself. Considering indoor events such as combat events and some martial arts you usually get injuries because of your own errors in techniques and tactics, your unpreparedness for the contest, or by an accident.

     All people who take part in physical activities or sports are under constant medical examination and are provided with the best possible conditions for training and competing. Physicians watch and take care of athlete's health and may interfere in process of training.
