The injuries are usually due to the various reasons such as
due to the repetitive forces that lead to micro trauma or even
inappropriate kind of over training. Such conditions damage the tissues
causing inflammation and severe pain. Also in most of the cases the
swelling as well as loss of functions is noticed. However, continuing
the exercises and training may further lead to the serious consequences
and the injury may even turn chronic. It is rather ideal to use common
sense for preventing the different sports injuries. Some of them are
given below for your ready reference:
Identify the risk factors: This is one of the most
essential things worth doing like modify the probabilities wherever
possible. Also try to diminish the total injury risk for the individual
by enhancing the energetic steadiness as well as the capacity of the
joints enabling to resist the redundant force. Accordingly, the
preventive conditioning generally incorporates exercises designed for
enhancing the overall as well as the sports related fitness, widely
targeting on the areas of the body that are supposed to be at the higher
risk of injuries, irrespectively either due to the various sports
activities or whatever the person brings to the sports in terms of
fitness or joint mechanism etc.
Undertaking the ideal stretching of flexibility programs:
This includes properly done warm ups for different limbs before and
after doing the exercises or any such activities like play, training as
well as the complete conditioning program for improving the flexibility,
stamina and strength. Proper warming up before stretching and
adequately stretching before initiating the workout regimens or sports
activities are highly advisable to avoid any probable injuries.
Never heat the injury by any means: Avoid heating the
injured area unless you are advised to do so by some professional
experts. The most ideal immediate treatment on any sports injury is ice
and compression followed by rest and elevation of the affected body
part. It is most significantly recommended by all the professional
medical personalities that the rest of at least 48 hours every week
between the training sessions must be taken. However, by including one
day of rest and cross training definitely leads you to the diminished
chances of injury of any kinds. Although if by chance you meet with any
injuries, remember to follow the M. S. A. technique to be followed once
the injured area starts to heal out.
The M. S. A. stands for Movement, Strength and Alternate
activities. Movement - work at full capacity after the injury heals.
This will enable you maintain flexibility and prevent the scar tissues
formed by the injury from restricting the future performances. Strength -
try to slowly strengthen the injured area after the inflammation is
under control and the motion range is regained. Alternate activities -
exercise regularly by using activities that don't strain the injured
part. This should ideally be started after the few days of injury in
spite of its under healing conditions.
There are some minor and rather negligible suggestions if
followed seriously may help the sports persons avert various injuries.
This includes willingly selecting to wear the recommended sports
apparels to ease and comfort the body while performing any sports
activities. Even the shoes that are well recommended for use in each
sport differently should be adopted to avoid probable injuries. Besides,
this, several precautionary measures may also help you avert the risk
of injuries.
