Answer 1

The correct answer will be

1. Inversion

2. 20-25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The injuries of the ligaments of the ankle are common among athletes like the anterior tibiofibular ligament sprain (AFTL) or calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) which are caused by the inversion of the flexed foot.

These cases of ankle sprains are treated with the rest and applying ice to the injured area for approximately 20-25 minutes repeated for 3-4 times per day.
