Avoid over-exercising

Overdoing exercise is a recipe for injury. You should exercise at your current level of fitness and progress gradually. If you are not strong enough or your muscles are not balanced enough to do a movement, you are very likely to overload your joints and strain or injure yourself.

But if you progress gradually and train properly, the likelihood of sustaining an injury is much lower.

Practice safe exercises

There is no one exercise that is all good or all bad. It simply depends on your ability to perform it. What will be a safe and appropriate exercise for one person may be detrimental to another.

For example, an athlete who has trained over many months to run a marathon will be able to complete a race with relative ease while someone who has not exercised for years would find it hard to manage 5 kilometres or will push themselves too hard and sustain inevitable injuries.

This is why it is important to stick to an exercise regimen that your doctor, physiotherapist or trainer has recommended and progress slowly and with increased intensity over time.

Prevention of sports injury

There are several things you can do to help prevent injury while exercising or playing sports.

Warm up

Warming up and stretching makes muscles เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง more flexible and able to absorb movements. This makes injury less likely.

Use the right equipment

Sports shoes should fit well and provide the proper support for whatever activity you are engaged in. If you are using equipment at a gym, be sure to ask for advice on how to use them correctly.

Use the correct technique

Proper technique and posture during exercise is very important to prevent muscle and joint injury. A trainer can help to advise you on the proper form you should take while performing different types of exercise.

Avoid doing too much

It’s best to practice moderation and gradually increase your level of intensity when you exercise. Doing too much, too soon, increases your risk for injury.

Recovery from sports injury and exercise

Recovery is another area of training that is often misunderstood.

It is not just about resting and sleeping but involves returning the body to its pre-exercise state. This involves recovering not just the muscles and elastic system, but also the hormonal, cardiovascular, immune, metabolic and nervous systems as well as the mental state.
