Three Ways to Prevent Sports Injuries, by Rosario
Did you know that the concepts of warming up, flexibility, and stretching are often intermingled and confused by lots of people? However, each has a separate purpose and meaning. The concepts are different and each one is specific to your body type. If you like to exercise, this is important information for reducing the risk of injury. This process helps three parts of your body: the circulatory system, joints, and muscles. The three ways of preparing for exercise are warming up, doing flexibility exercises, and stretching.
First of all, warm up activities usually consist of muscular activity to increase blood circulation. One common and effective plan to prepare for any exercise is to sufficiently warm up. The correct process for warming up is to do some type of aerobic activity, such as walking, jogging, or cycling for fifteen to twenty minutes. Warming up allows people to gradually increase the blood to the joints before proceeding to more vigorous exercise. An example is kickboxing. Before doing this activity, you need to do an adequate warm up, you can execute the move by putting your weight onto your right foot, bring your left knee as high as your hip, then kick to the side while pointing your toes as you kick.
After your circulation is moving, a second way to prevent sports injuries is doing flexibility exercises. Flexibility refers to the range of mobility in a joint. Flexibility is specific for each joint movement. Yoga is good exercise for flexibility because each joint is moved through a full range of motion. All of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that surround and support a joint are strengthened with a good flexibility exercise.
Finally, stretching is a third exercise that prepares the muscles and the mobility of a joint for exercise. Stretching is usually limited by the soft tissues surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Stretching exercises should gently stretch those soft tissues without damaging them or the joint. There are two ways to stretch; one focuses on intensity and the other on frequency. Each stretch can be practiced at levels of moderate tension for ten to thirty seconds. For example, the neck, waist, and hips can turn to the right and left, and you can stretch the chest, shoulder, upper back, and waist. All parts of the body benefit from gentle stretching. People who like to exercise need to know why it is important to take time to stretch.
In conclusion, a good warm up, flexibility exercise, and stretching are essential in caring for the body and in preparing for activities such as basketball, running, dancing, etc. Most people need to take more time to care for their body. They can complete a whole routine in fifteen to twenty minutes including a quick, easy warm-up, flexibility exercises, and stretching. It is always recommended to have a physical examination from your doctor before beginning a rigorous exercise program. Everyone needs to have a balanced program of exercise and it is important to know what it takes to have a healthy body.
