Summary:
Warm Up:
When you have warmed up, you can undertake some gentle stretches to lengthen the muscles and tendons, further preventing injury. Pay particular attention to stretching those muscles which will be used during your exercise.
Use the correct protective equipment: For some sports, protective equipment is important especially when the sport or activity involves physical contact with other players and participants. Protective equipment may include shin pads , boxing gloves or protective headgear. All this equipment is designed to prevent injury to vulnerable parts of your body.
Drink Plenty Of Fluids: Whatever sport you play, it is essential to maintain your fluid levels to avoid dehydration. If you become dehydrated you’ll not be able to regulate your body temperature as effectively, which means that you’ll risk overheating or hyperthermia.
Wear Appropriate Clothing: There is no benefit to exercising when you are dehydrated or have hyperthermia.
Progress gradually: Try not to overdo it when beginning a new activity: build on your fitness levels and set goals. Knowing your limits means you have less chance of sustaining a sporting injury.
Be in Proper Physical Condition to Play a Sport: Keep in mind the weekend warrior has a high rate of injury. If you play any sports, you should adequately train for that sport.
Rest: Athletes with a high number of consecutive days of training, have more injuries. While many athletes think the more they train, the better they’ll play, this is a misconception.
Focus On Technique: Incorrect technique for any sporting activity is likely to result in injury. Resistance training injuries are the most common, and are usually caused by an overzealous approach in an attempt to lift heavier weights.
Know the Rules of the Game: Traffic lights at intersections help prevent crashes between the many cars and trucks that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them — at least most of the time. It’s the same way with sports.
Don’t Play When You’re Injured: This is a really important one. If you love sports, it’s tempting to get right back in the game, even after an injury. But playing when you’re hurt or before an injury has had a chance to fully heal, is a bad idea.
Get Proper Sleep: Fatigue is a major risk factor for injury. Sleep deprivation is an almost universally underestimated problem. It’s a major factor in chronic pain.
Cool Down: If warming up is important, cooling down is also essential. After working out or training, you have to spend at least 10 minutes of performing gentle exercises that will return your heart rate to a normal pace.
Eat Healthy: Diet and proper nutrition are important for athletes. A good nutrition plan is the foundation of an effective fitness program. The demands of sports and exercise on the body mean that you should replace all the energy and nutrients consumed by eating healthy food.
