Injuries: Avoid them in 5 easy steps 

In most cases, an injury comes unexpectedly. It is painful, holds you back from your training and disrupts your daily life. Avoiding injury is what every serious athlete wants to accomplish. 

5 ways to avoid injury 

Warm up  Warming up is an integral part of training that shouldn’t be omitted under any circumstances. Proper warm up prepares the body for the training load it’s about to receive. This way, we can achieve better results in the main part of our workout!  Technique  If you only focus on the number of sets and repetitions instead of your technique, then you could easily get injured at some point… Proper technique is your only ticket towards a healthy body.   Cooling down  Cooling down after workout is an extremely important part of training that lots of people often neglect. Basically, you bring your body back to the state it was before the workout, releasing the tension. When you skip this part, your muscles shorten and they lose their elasticity, so it is easier to get injured later on.  Nutrition  Nutrition is everything, whether you’re an athlete or not. But, especially when you’re working out regularly, you need all the right nutrients in order to function well, from protein, carbohydrates and fats to vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Try to eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, while you avoid processed foods and always stay hydrated!  Training limits  Your sport may require really high intensity and sometimes you may find yourself on the verge of collapse. It is, therefore, very important to listen to your body’s needs and act accordingly. We know how much you love your sport, but if you want to keep doing it, you have to respect your body first!  Seminars Recent Articles
