Self-care tips for exercise

1. First of all, we should pay attention to the preparatory activities before exercise. At the beginning of exercise, our joints, muscles, internal organs, and nervous system cannot be immediately involved in exercise. At this time, we will have difficulty breathing, sore limbs, fatigue, etc., and sports injuries such as sprains and syncope may also occur. Preparing for different sports will reduce the chance of injury.

2. Use protective gear selectively during exercise. For example, in badminton, tennis and other sports that may strain the wrist ligaments, wrist guards should be used; in football, leg guards can be used to protect the tibia and fibula of the lower leg from fracture; in basketball and boxing, mouth guards can be used to prevent teeth from being knocked out.

3. Exercise more regularly, such as joint flexibility, body coordination, muscle strength, movement proficiency, etc. Many sports injuries are caused by athletes’ lack of understanding of the sport. There are also many knee meniscus tears caused by athletes’ physical incoordination and improper exertion during exercise. There are also some sprains and strains caused by athletes. It is caused by poor physical fitness and too loose joint ligaments.

4. Pay attention to organizing activities. After exercise, because the blood cannot return immediately, the muscles and ligaments are still in a state of tension, and sports injuries are prone to occur at this time. Stretching exercises and a small amount of whole-body exercise should be done to relieve muscle tension, such as leg presses and running.

The exercise self-care you mentioned is a bit broad, so let’s write it in such a broad way first. I hope you can talk about the specific sports in detail, and I will give you the answer.
