Here are three parts that we often get injured in sports. Let us know how to avoid these sports injuries and how to prevent them. We should pay attention to learn how to protect our body joints when exercising, so that you can exercise more efficiently.
First, the knee
The first thing I want to tell you is our knees. Our knee joint is often injured in fitness, because it is used in many sports. For example, when doing squats, if the posture is slightly wrong, it will make the knees bear more weight. This will make your knee sprain, because when you squat, your knee is at the weakest angle, and a slight mistake in posture will easily cause a knee sprain.
Prevention: Then how can we prevent knee injury? In order to avoid excessive pressure on the knee joint before exercise, it is very important for us to do enough warm-up activities. Before you start leg exercises, you can do some warm-up and stretching exercises, so that your knees are not easily injured during the exercise. The most important thing is that you should master the skills of exercise. If you don't need to squat to the lowest point. When your thighs are just below the ground, you can stop, and going down will put too much pressure on your knees.
Second, the pectoral muscles
The pectoral muscle is also the part that many bodybuilders often get injured in sports. Injuries and strains of the pectoral muscles often occur at the end of your upper arm. Many people like heavy exercise in chest muscle exercise, and then the exercise will be irregular and too fast, so that the chest muscles will suddenly bear too much pressure and strain. Another reason for the strain is that the chest muscles are not fully stretched due to insufficient stretching and warm-up exercises.
Prevention: 1, start to warm up with exercise, you can run on the treadmill for 5~8 minutes, or relax in situ.
2. Stretch the chest and fully stretch the chest muscles.
3. Pay attention to the movement standard when exercising, and don't exercise too fast.
Third, the elbow
The third part that we often get injured is the elbow. We often use the elbow in sports, which puts it under too much pressure. Once the action is not standardized and the motor skills are not in place, it is easy to hurt the elbow. Therefore, acute arthritis or chronic arthritis may occur. Many people do not pay special attention to elbow pain during exercise, which leads to the emergence of chronic arthritis. When our elbow is a little sore, we should do some elbow care to make it recover.
Prevention: 1. When the elbow is sprained, you can apply the necessary ice.
2. Reduce the exercise weight appropriately during exercise to ensure the standard of exercise.
3. Do enough stretching and warm-up before exercise.
It is inevitable that we will get hurt in fitness exercise, but you should learn to adjust your mentality in time after the injury. Pay attention to your movements during exercise, don't use too much exercise, improve your sports skills, and add protective gear or some necessary protective equipment when necessary. This will minimize the possibility of your injury in fitness.
