How to prevent sports injuries?

While it’s never wise to generalize, if I had to pick the number one challenge for every athlete, it would be the IMBALANCE BETWEEN CAPACITY AND DEMAND. Simply put, it’s when your body isn’t prepared to meet the physical demands of your sport.

Of course, many factors play into this, from mechanical to functional and psychosocial aspects. Mechanically speaking, it’s all about identifying what your body needs to achieve the performance required for your chosen activity.

The first step is a thorough assessment to identify potential risk factors and outline the best intervention strategies. Additionally, regular check-ups with professionals are crucial, as sports place various stresses on the body, even without direct trauma. If there’s pain or signs of overload, it’s vital to investigate what might be hindering your performance.

No matter your sport, the principle remains the same: you need to be analyzed as an integrated whole because that’s how your body functions. With this understanding, you can achieve the best development in your chosen sport.
