Side tackles in soccer and Rugby often lead to knee injuries due to the awkward angles and forces applied during the impact. When a player tackles from the side, the knee can be subjected to lateral forces that exceed its stability, potentially causing ligament tears, such as ACL or MCL injuries. Additionally, if a player's foot is planted while being tackled, the sudden twist or pressure can exacerbate the risk of injury. The dynamic nature of these sports, combined with the physical contact involved, heightens the likelihood of such knee injuries.
