Different sports activities and training programs can cause verity of athletic injuries. Wear and tear from repetitive overuse, maximum exertion, and hard contact are some of the leading causes of sports injuries. Sports injuries are more common in young and then in older athletes.
If you’re curious, how not to get sports injuries, well, sitting on the sofa is not the answer. A general rule to prevent sports injuries is to do warm-up routines at the beginning of the training session and ending the training with proper cool-down stretches. We should make a distinction here, that stretching before practice is better than nothing. But stretching is not a proper pre-workout warm-up. Best pre-workout warm-ups are active dynamic joint mobilization techniques.
Please, remember that with age it is wise to start softening your training and games, and watch even closely your postural and movement patterns. If you happen to injure yourself, you should be resting not training more and harder, let your body to recover. Keep the injured body part elevated if possible. Immediately after you get injured, ice the area. Ice is good for pain and inflammation. You should see a specialist and get it checked out. It’s better safe than sorry.
