Education Key To Preventing Sports Injuries
CAMP FOSTER, OKINAWA, Japan -- While the clear, blue skies and freshly-cut fields of summer may beckon some to dust off their old team uniform and jump back into a sport, certain precautions must be taken to avoid serious injuries that might impact Marines' careers.
Athletes who haven't consistently engaged in strenuous physical activity for a prolonged period are at a high risk for contracting sports injuries and should allow two to six weeks of physical training to acclimate their bodies before involving themselves in a sport, explained Earl Strong, the fitness coordinator of Gunners Fitness Center.
Sports injuries include skeletal injuries, joint and ligament damage, muscle and tendon strains, and soft tissue injuries. These injuries can occur as a result of a hard force, blow or jolt that might come about after overstretching, repetitive friction, twisting or consistent overuse. Faulty training techniques, improper equipment or unstable surfaces may also contribute.
