Injury Prevention Strategies

What does injury prevention refer to?

"activities to prevent, treat, and/ or reduce injury related disabilites" 1

Why would it be beneficial to have proper technique and form?
Runners/Sprinters6
Weightlifting
  • Resting muscles are inactive muscles
  • Tissue Temperature and Elasticity
  • Dynamic Stretches ( leg swings, cossak squat )
    • Improve range of muscle and activate muscle
  • Mobility
  • Sprinters and Jumpers: Higher Strain on Muscles, Hip Flexors (training muscles to move the way they should aka form)
  • Same logic as runners and sprinters
  • Extremely important to have proper form and technique ( strong man challenge )
    • Wont be able to perform movment
    • Injury in the process
