Is this for an essay or project?
I think you might need to be clearer or put it into context.
From what you have said it would seem you must first do a risk analysis then decide on what preventative measures are sensible afterwards.
It may also help if you split risks into psychological and physiological factors.

in a exercise way, to be intrinsic you are doing it for yourself and extrinsic is doing it for an outside reward, such as medals and money.

An example of an extrinsic injury would be one caused by an external force, whereas an intrinsic injury relates to the body itself - injury caused by factors from within the body rather than without.
Here are some running injury examples from: http://www.runbritain.com/articles/causes-of-running-injuries/
Examples of intrinsic factors which may lead to running injury include:
•Muscle imbalance.
•Lack of flexibility (or, in some cases over-flexibility, or joint laxity).
•Gait abnormalities and misalignment problems, such as overpronation and difference in leg length.
•Body composition and size.
Often such factors are not as important in the sedentary individual, but can contribute increasingly to injury as running distances increase.
Examples of extrinsic factors which may lead to running injury include:
•Inappropriate or worn-out training equipment: i.e. trainers.
•Too much road running or running the same way on a cambered road repeatedly.
•Training errors; the most common one being increasing mileage too quickly, also not allowing enough rest/recovery between runs.
•Environmental conditions; muscle or tendon injuries can occur in cold weather when there has been insufficient warm-up; heat exhaustion and dehydration can also contribute to injuries.
Example from http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/football-player-injuries-are-they-becoming-more-frequent-35884
Research has identified three main factors that influence the increased likelihood of injuries in football players:
•Intrinsic factors, such as age, previous injury history, fitness and skill level;
•Extrinsic factors such as the amount and quality of training, playing field conditions, equipment (eg boots, shin guards), subjective exercise overload during training and matches;
•Violation of the rules (foul play) (9).
Hope this helps.
