If you want to be safe while enjoying games or working out,
here are some key points to keep in mind
WEAR protective equipment
You should always wear proper protective equipment of the
particular sport that you are playing. For example-if you are playing cricket you
should wear gloves, thigh pads, abdomen guard, helmet, etc. When you are
playing football you should wear shin guards, ankle supporters, etc. You can
also wear knee cap most of the time when you are playing or doing anything
which put high impact on your knees.
WARM UP first.
Even professional sportsmen occasionally neglect vital
warming up routines before matches. Many professional physiotherapists strongly
emphasizes the importance of warming up with quick dynamic stretches like arm-
circling, leg –swinging, forward and side bends, etc. perform muscle stretches by
extending gently until you feel a slight pull, then hold that position for ten
seconds. Warming up is extremely important in cold weather, especially in the
morning because it lowers blood-viscosity, ensuring better circulation.
BEGINNERS take care.
Those who are eager to start going to the gym, too, must focus must focus on their health and fitness at least two months beforehand. Don’t just show up after months or years of inaction –you’re asking for trouble. You should start always in a simple way like by walking briskly for 30 minutes. Focus on cardiovascular exercises; these include aerobic, kickboxing, running, jogging, cycling and swimming. The process of getting into exercising has to be gradual
.DRINK plenty of water
Water is essential for anyone who works out, because it
helps rid the body of the toxins that are released by your muscles during a
typical working session. It also helps re-hydrate your body because you sweat a
lot and your muscles can dehydrate and start to cramp, if you don’t drink
enough water. Drink water a couple of hours before any workout. If you do so
just before your workout, water won’t be absorbed so quickly to help your body.
Also take small sips of cold water during every break you take-it hydrates the
body better than warm water. And after you have finished exercising drink some
more water.
DON’T forget to cool down
Cooling down is an essential part of any exercise routine-
but one that too often neglected. You should allow your muscles to return to
their original condition and back to the temperature they were before exercise-
free from pain producing lactic acid, which accumulates as the body expends
energy. After exercising stretch your hamstring, spine, shoulder because
stretching warm muscles can improve flexibility.
