Sports Injury Prevention (theory)

Sports injury prevention involves strategies to reduce the risk of injuries during athletic activities. It includes proper training, warm-ups, and cool-downs to prepare the body for activity, along with using appropriate equipment and techniques. Strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, and conditioning help the body withstand stresses. Recognizing and addressing individual risk factors, such as previous injuries or biomechanical issues, is also important. Overall, the goal is to prepare the body, promote safe movement, and reduce strain, thereby minimizing the likelihood of injury and enabling consistent, safe participation in sports.
