What is a "pull"?

A pull refers to an injury where a muscle or tendon is stretched or torn, commonly known as a strain. It typically happens when a muscle is overstretched or used too forcefully, leading to pain, swelling, and sometimes limited movement in the affected area. Pulls can occur during physical activities like sports or heavy lifting. Treatment usually involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation to reduce swelling and pain, along with gentle stretching and strengthening exercises once the initial pain lessens.

08

the phase in weightlifting where the lifter lifts the barbell off the ground, typically transitioning into a higher position such as the clean or snatch

09

the initial throw to start a game or point in ultimate frisbee
