Overload and the potential for injury
For professional athletes, especially those participating in major tournaments, having to compete continuously, even competing almost every day, being overloaded is inevitable. Xuan Son is no exception. Before suffering a serious injury, Xuan Son played almost continuously, both at the club level and the national team.

Therefore, the player’s body becomes tired, the muscles and joints gradually lose flexibility and are susceptible to injury. When the pressure of competition is too great, the body’s organs and parts cannot recover in time, leading to overload. This is not an injury from impact, but rather from overuse of parts of the body without enough time to recover. It is in this state of potential overload that seemingly minor injuries can become serious.

Furthermore, the lack of recovery of body tissues after long periods of exercise can lead to bone weakness. In this case, even though there is no strong impact, when the pressure on the weakened bone weakens, a complex fracture is more likely to occur.
