Overextension in Sports

Overextension in sports occurs when an athlete pushes their muscles, joints, or body beyond safe or optimal limits, often while trying to perform a move or sprint. This can lead to overstretching or tearing tissues, resulting in injuries like strains or sprains. It often happens during rapid or forceful actions when proper technique or warm-up is not maintained. To prevent overextension, athletes should follow appropriate training, warm-up routines, and listen to their bodies to avoid pushing past safe boundaries.
