Injuries are damaged tissues or organs which occur when it encounters trauma or physical force that is greater than what it can resist or absorb. Tensile forces are those that act away from the center of the structure, causing a pull or stretch. Compressive forces impact the center causing it to bend or fold. Shear forces are opposing forces toward the different ends of the structure causing it to twist.

Shear forces are opposing forces toward the different ends of the structure causing it to twist. -the force was applied is just as important as its impact -An individual who engages in various types of strenuous activities will expose his/her body to these forces which could result to an injury.
