Movements like running, swimming, jumping, tackling, kicking and pivoting, done on a regular basis, can lead to wear and tear on one’s muscles, joints and bones. This holds especially true if proper technique is not adhered to while training. Athletes that have a basic understanding of injury prevention, as well as the types of conditions they should be on the lookout for, can reduce their chances of sustaining a serious injury.
