What should I do if I strain my thigh while sprinting?

Every time we have physical education class, the teacher will teach us some warm-up exercises. Warm-up exercises can help our bodies stretch quickly and avoid problems in subsequent exercises. Everyone knows the sprinter Liu Xiang. He had to withdraw from the competition because he suffered a serious injury to his leg tendon during the hurdles. So there are risks in any sport. So what causes thigh strain in sprinting?

1. Insufficient preparation

According to a survey, insufficient warm-up is the biggest cause of hamstring muscle injury. In a quiet state, a person's entire body functions are in an inert state. Before exercise, sufficient and scientific warm-up exercises can enable the organs of the body to get rid of the inert state and enter the state of movement, get rid of the viscosity of the muscles, fully stretch the ligament fibers, mobilize the nerve excitement, enable the athletes to enter the state of movement, improve their athletic performance and effectively reduce sports injuries. When the warm-up is not sufficient, the athlete's muscles are in a viscous state. If they directly enter high-intensity exercise and force the muscles to exert force, it is easy to cause muscle damage.

2. Excessive exercise load

Systematically and scientifically arranging exercise load can not only improve exercise level, but also effectively prevent sports injuries. Unsystematic training methods, single means, and excessive exercise will make athletes lose their excitement and reluctantly complete movements and training tasks. Over time, it will cause excessive local burdens, easily lead to sports injuries, and the training effect will not be good. Excessive exercise and body fatigue exceed the ability of the athlete's posterior thigh muscles to withstand. Excessive local muscle stimulation causes local muscle stiffness, contracture and loss of elasticity, thereby reducing the function of the muscle and easily causing posterior thigh muscle injury.

3 Psychological factors

According to a survey, more sports injuries occur when the mental state is poor than when the mental state is good. Excessive tension can lead to muscle stiffness and slow movements. Fatigue can lead to a lack of concentration and weak movements, which can easily lead to injuries.

Sprinting strains indicate many problems, so everyone must warm up before doing intense exercise to avoid physical injury during exercise. You should also participate in sports on a regular basis. Long-term inactivity can easily lead to major problems during exercise. Everyone must remember these suggestions. Friends who are injured in sports must receive proper treatment and strive for a speedy recovery.
