Injury Prevention During Activity

    Everyone has had an injury once in their life. They happen every once and a while. In order to prevent injuries during physical activity, remember to complete a warm-up. Do some slow stretching, and a slow jog to increase your heart rate. Remember to drink plenty of fluids when working out. After the end of your workout, remember to perform a cool down. This is to bring your heart rate back down to your normal heart rate.

Common Injuries

    Muscle strains occur when a muscle or tendon is stretched too far. Muscle Sprains are caused when a ligament is torn or overstretched. A blister is caused when the skin burns or surface friction. Shin splints occur when there is a pain in the front of your lower leg when walking, jogging, climbing, or stepping.
