4. Excessive training
There are certain bones that are prone to suffering from stress fractures due to the sheer amount of use they experience. The feet, wrist, and ankles are just a few of the most general locations. Humans are practically always on their feet from the moment they learn to walk. Stress fractures are common in the foot and ankle for this reason. When a person takes up a new hobby, such as hiking, soccer or running, the chances of incurring a stress fracture increases exponentially.
The wrist and hands also see a lot of activity, those who work in hands-on professions such are foodservice, bakery, and healthcare are more susceptible to stress fractures in these areas.
Changing over from a schedule of moderate activity to higher or enormous amounts of activity can also cause a stress fracture. For example, changing from a routine of lifting weights once a week to a daily lifting schedule.
