4 Ways By Which You Can Avoid The Weekend Warrior Injuries

As the sports medicine doctor, patients often come to me, suffering from the injuries caused by the sports league, competition or the race. These injuries are the preventable tendonitis, muscle strain or the ligament sprains. I also feel happy that in these days most of the people are leading an active life doing exercises and physical activities. I wish more people do exercises and have fun. 

Here are some of the tips that I should give as an experienced exercise medicine doctor to reduce the injuries while doing the exercises, kindly have a look-

• Challenge the Muscles during the Week

It does not make any sense that you were a all-county at the school level but now you get hardly any time to do exercise, but just for one day in the week. If you are a truly sportive person, you should keep your activities same throughout the life. Without proper movement and exercise, your muscle will not have the strength. You cannot expect that your muscles will work in the same manner as it has worked during exercises if you are not active. If you are too busy in your life at least find 2 more days in the week, to do exercise and hard work to strengthen up for muscles.

• Start with the Good Warm Up

One of the major mistakes of the athletes mainly after the 30 years of age is that they forget to warm up the bodies. It is very important to warm up or to stretch out before the event. Flexibility is very important before doing any type of physical activities. But, it is not good to perform the prolonged stretching before and after the physical exercises. Warm up is better than the stretching.

• Protect the Feet with New Pair of Shoes

We all know that money matters. But, if you are using your bad pair of shoes, it can lead to major accidents. The major problem that may cause is by using the wrong pair of shoes. According to the reputed exercise medicine doctor, it is always important that you use the right pair of shoes.

• Drink Water Before and After Exercises

Most of the professionals suggest drinking water or keeping hydrated before and after the exercises. This provides energy to the muscles. It is shown that at least if your muscles do not get 5% of water, they cannot work properly.

Thus, if you follow these tips, the chances of the injuries during the exercise gets reduced much. So, wake up early morning and warm up!
