The pectoralis major is located in the upper front thorax, starting from the medial half of clavicle, sternum and rib cartilage 1-6, bundle outward focus, beyond the humeral greater tuberosity ridge, as shown below:

Horford was injured in the process: its scrum when the pressure in the right arm and shoulder and arm on the other side jump competition for basketball, and the other after landing suddenly turned and lay down arms, resulting in downward pressure Horford force too late to recover the other side of the shoulder and arm this force makes Horford right arm swings back down quickly, causing its outer edge of the pectoralis major muscle hyperextension formed tear.

Moreover Huofu Derby Most readers have the power, but when the force endurance (body would fall under the right arm pressure force has some additive effect).

Horford injured Factors Summary:

1, fatigue. Has to first overtime segment, Horford has accumulated a fatigue. Fatigue will reduce the people to control the muscles.

2, Horford has good power. If a person is not big enough force, but also could not easily hurt themselves.

3, endurance action. Control muscle endurance than action on the ground to be difficult, and the ground itself downward force has a strength bonus.

4, fast action. Reader test, slowly chest thrust back hard to pull off, but when the fast force, if there is no control muscle strength, increases the chance of injury.

5, blocking force. That Horford put his right arm pressed against each other and, on the other side of the body Horford has a blocking effect, if the blocking effect suddenly taken away, it is likely to cause the force were injured, of course, this also depends on the force's ability to control the muscles.
