For the young and active. | Part 1 of 2
To every young South African pushing their limits - we want to keep you on the field for as long as possible.
Here are injury prevention tips👇
1️⃣ Warm up with movement, not static stretching 🏃 Dynamic warm-ups - leg swings, hip circles, high knees -activate your joints far better than holding stretches before exercise.
2️⃣ Train your weaknesses, not just your strengths 💪
Muscle imbalances cause most injuries. If you only train what you're good at, the weaker side eventually breaks down.
3️⃣ Sleep is part of your training plan 😴
Athletes who sleep less than 8 hours are significantly more likely to get injured. Recovery happens at rest, don't skip it.
Part 2 coming soon - three more tips every young athlete needs. 👀
