How to effectively prevent sports injuries?

When we do sports activities, we may get injured due to some accidents, and even suffer serious conditions such as muscle strain and fracture. But in fact, most of the time as long as you do a good job of protection, physical injuries can be avoided. So what measures should we take to prevent it? Next, give me some time to talk about specific and effective methods.

1. Prepare thoroughly. Be sure to do adequate warm-up exercises before fitness exercises, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of sports injuries. Warm-up exercises can not only increase the excitability of the central nervous system, but also increase the number of open capillaries in the muscles. When doing fitness training without warm-up exercises, the body's functions can be exerted at maximum efficiency within 20 to 30 seconds, while the internal organs can only exert their maximum working capacity within 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Pay attention to relaxation between exercises. When you are looking at some fitness plans or instructions, you will definitely notice that it will say rest for xx seconds (usually ranging from tens of seconds to several minutes) between each movement. Don't ignore this short rest time. During fitness exercises, this small rest can eliminate muscle fatigue more quickly and prevent sports injuries caused by local overload.

3. Pay attention to relaxation activities after fitness exercises. After fitness exercise, stretching and relaxation methods are used to restore body temperature, heart rate, breathing, and muscle stress response to normal levels before exercise. This kind of post-exercise recovery is as important as the warm-up exercise before exercise, and is very meaningful for effectively preventing sports injuries. Carrying out targeted relaxation activities according to different fitness programs can prevent muscle tension and congestion after exercise and recover faster.

After reading the above content, everyone should have learned some measures to prevent sports injuries. In this way, you should pay more attention when doing any exercise in the future. It is best to follow the editor's suggestions so as to achieve the goal of safe and scientific exercise. However, if an injury occurs, medical treatment must be sought promptly.
