DThe muscle fiber tear is a muscle injury and is one of the most common sports injuries. Sometimes an inattentive moment, a jerky movement is enough for sport, and then it happens: A knife-like pain runs through the limbs. It is out of the question to continue. Those affected assume a protective posture that relieves the painful area – a number of football professionals have already rolled over the lawns of the world with these complaints. But recreational athletes are not spared either. Even minor injuries such as sore muscles and strains are counted in this category. However, while the latter heal quickly on its own, a torn muscle fiber should be taken more seriously. It was not without reason that soccer Germany collectively feared for Ballacks and Boateng’s “calves of the nation” in 2010 and 2016.
